Zurn Elkay Announces Updated Line of Filtered Bottle Filling Stations

Zurn Elkay Water Solutions recently released an updated line of its Elkay Filtered Bottle Filling Stations, according to a news release. The new line features a sleeker design and functional upgrades to help simplify filter maintenance and reduce long-term labor costs. The ezH2O Bottle Fillers, which debuted in 2010, were designed to reduce lead, PFOA/PFOS, and other contaminants.

The units were designed for public spaces like schools, universities, office spaces, gyms, and more. The updated line features the new colors Midnight Black, Arctic White, and Standard Gray. “With the 51600C High-Capacity Replacement Filter, the filter life is doubled to 6,000 gallons and is certified to NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and 401 for the reduction of lead, microplastics, cysts, Class 1 particulate and chlorine taste and odor. Elkay’s WaterSentry 71300C is also rated for the reduction of PFOA/PFOS, two prevalent PFAS chemicals, commonly known as ‘forever chemicals’ for the highest-performing filtration option,” according to the news release.

Other features include a drop-down wrapper, LED filter status display, and an automatic filter light reset. Clients can track data like the number of bottles saved, water usage, and filter status, as well as schedule flushing events to keep plumbing lines clean.

More information is available on the Zurn Elkay website.
