  • Publication number: 20110174839
    Abstract: An under counter drinking fountain of the present invention includes an electronic faucet. The electronic faucet includes an outlet pipe, a steam pipe, and a control device. The steam pipe is disposed with a valve. The control device can control liquid in the under counter drinking fountain to flow to the outlet pipe so as to output water for a user. The control device controls the valve to close the steam pipe as water is output from the outlet pipe. Thereby, it can not only avoid the liquid inside of the drinking fountain flowing out from the steam pipe, but also prevent the user from wasting water and scalding.
