Outlet element for a drinking water dispenser

A drinking water dispensing system (2) that selectively dispenses at least partially treated drinking water or tap water, the drinking water dispensing system (2) comprising:

• a water faucet (13) having an outlet element (1) from which the at least partially treated drinking water or the tap water can be selectively dispensed,
• a drinking-water treatment device (14) operatively connected to a drinking-water channel (15) of the water faucet (13), the drinking-water treatment device (14) being configured to supply the at least partially treated drinking water,
• a mixing chamber (16) configured to adjust the temperature of the tap water, and
• a control device (17) configured to check whether the tap water is being dispensed by the drinking water dispensing system (2) and to allow dispensing of the at least partially treated drinking water only when no tap water is being dispensed by the drinking water dispensing system (2),
• wherein the outlet element (1) comprises:
• a first water route (3) that extends from the outlet element (1) to a first exit plane (4) from which the tap water flowing through the first water route (3) can be dispensed from the outlet element (1),
• a second water route (5) that extends from the outlet element (1) to a second exit plane (6) from which the tap water flowing through the second water route (5) can be dispensed via the outlet element (1),
• wherein the first water route (3) and the second water route (5) are channels formed within the outlet element (1), and
• a third water route (7) that extends from the outlet element (1) to a third exit plane (8) from which at least partially treated drinking water flowing through the third water route (7) can be dispensed via the outlet element (1),
• wherein the third water route (7) is a channel formed within the outlet element (1) that is separated from the first water route (3) and the second water route (5),
• wherein the third exit plane (8) extends from the outlet element (1) to a distance (9) that is at least 1 mm beyond the first exit plane (4) and the second exit plane (6),
• wherein the first water route (3) and the second water route (5) are operatively connected to the mixing chamber (16), and
• wherein the third water route (7) of the outlet element (1) is operatively connected to the drinking-water channel (15).
