We are engineering a mechanical retrofit for high school water fountains. Our goal is simple: eliminate button contact and modernize campus hygiene.

CAD Modeling Phase
Designing for maximum durability in high-traffic hallways.
High school water fountains are some of the most touched surfaces on any campus. Current "bottle filler" upgrades are expensive and often require replacing the entire unit.
"Our goal is to make hands-free hydration accessible to every high school budget, not just the elite ones."
Converting vertical foot pressure into horizontal button activation.
A durable, non-slip base designed to sit at the foot of any standard water fountain.
A tension-based cable or rod system that transmits the step force up to the fountain head.
A universal clamp that sits over the existing fountain button, activating it when the pedal is pressed.
Finalizing mechanical CAD drawings and material testing for the 3D-printed alpha units.
Stress testing mechanisms to withstand 100,000+ presses (simulating high school hallway traffic).
Installing first-gen units in select high schools to gather student and faculty feedback.
We are looking for early-adopter high schools to provide feedback during our design phase. Join our waitlist to be first in line.
AquaPedal is in the Prototype Phase. We are prioritizing High School feedback partners.
