To turn off the water to a water fountain, follow these steps:
-
Locate the incoming water shutoff valve. This valve is usually located near the water fountain, either under the sink or in an adjacent utility area. Look for a small valve connected to the water supply line leading to the fountain.
-
Turn the valve 90 degrees. The valve handle typically needs to be turned a quarter turn (90 degrees) to shut off the water flow. A handle positioned in line with the pipe indicates the water is on. A handle positioned perpendicular to the pipe indicates the water is off.
-
Turn off the fountain with a key and/or switch. If the fountain has a separate power switch or key, turn it off to prevent any further water flow or potential damage.
-
Unplug any equipment serviced from this water line. If the water line also supplies water to other equipment, such as boosters, carbonators, or ice machines, unplug them to prevent damage or unintended operation while the water is shut off.
By following these steps, you can effectively turn off the water supply to a water fountain.
