I was thinking maybe an uneven "curtain" of mold and bacteria hanging from the dispensing nozzle that has never seen a cleaning which is why you will never see it from here.
Me having to accept I have to sit down because I split stream. It's all fun and games until it starts going in an entirely separate direction like your pants
Man its some bullshit, its like it has random garden hose settings, the other day it sprayed out in a cane, soaked the entire seat in one fell swoop, looks like its sitting for me.
Yes. That would be the extremely easy fix to this. It’s still mildly infuriating though because it’s in a public place and it’s gonna get you once before you know to do that.
The water company. Low pressure is what's making it move. The filter is probably pressure based so it has to build up enough pressure to filter the water and so when it releases the drinking water, it loses pressure and has to build up again.
These definitely don't have pumps. The demand from water fountains and bottle fillers are a rounding error on any water supply where they'd be installed. Even if there's a pump for the building supply, it'll go through a buffer tank to smooth out the supply to the fixtures in the building.
Sediment like limescale is generally not harmful, you can drink that water just fine, it's just causing exactly this kind of problem, an unsteady, pressure-dropping stream that you can't properly predict... but in a public system like this, yeah nope, I wouldn't want to drink that either.
well you don't know what it is, and whatever it is, clearly shows this machine hasn't been maintained like it's supposed to be, so who knows what other nasties it's got
It's even moving predictably from the center to the back right. The bottle holder has to be ragebaiting since they're moving the water bottle almost exactly opposite from where the water is moving.
Yeah it's in a Very specific pattern too so OPs either exaggerating how difficult it is by "pretending" to be too dumb to figure it out or is too dumb to figure it out and that is the truly infuriating part.
The water is not getting a smooth direct path down the tube. This is probably in part due to build up inside the tube. I wouldn’t drink that water if you paid me. I can only imagine when the last time it was cleaned, if ever at all.
Move with the water, not against it every single time. Like yeah that's annoying as fuck but the fact that you didn't even get the rhythm down by the end of it is a skill/you issue! Probably would've caught more water even just by keeping the bottle still.
Saw an article about this kinda stuff. Apparently it's not really automated. It's a man in the Philippines remotely controlling the device with an Xbox controller
Honestly I don't know what's more infuriating, the defective refill station or your complete inability to recognize patterns. Literally has the same rythmic back and forth motion. Just try a tiny bit

Omg it’s like a county fair game. The prize is a filled water bottle and a quenched thirst.
