Sloan Launches Company’s First Line of Bottle Fillers, Water Coolers

Commercial plumbing systems manufacturer Sloan recently announced the launch of Sloan DropSpot, the company’s first line of bottle fillers and water coolers, according to a news release. The fillers come in a stainless steel or black powder-coated finish for placement in commercial or educational environments and also include an easy-access filter for maintenance purposes.

The bottle fillers and water coolers meet NSF61 standards, the news release reports, “ensuring there’s no chemicals or contaminants indirectly imparted to drinking water from products, components, and materials used in drinking water systems.” The 3,000-gallon filters reduce PFOA, PFOS, chlorine, lead, and other contaminants. The filter also complies with NSF53, NSF42, and NSF401, confirming the reduction of contaminants.

Sloan DropSpot comes in three configurations, each with the options of filtered or unfiltered: an on-wall bottle filler, an on-wall bottle filler with a single-level cooler, and an on-wall bottle filler with a bi-level cooler. Available accessories include filter upgrade kits, a replacement filter, and a remote chiller for the standalone filler.

“Sloan has a proud history of innovating commercial restroom products designed to preserve water,” said Sloan’s chief sales and marketing officer, Parthiv Amin. “The launch of Sloan DropSpot is a historic day at Sloan, as we extend our water-conscious products beyond the restroom with the same quality and reliability that our customers have come to expect for nearly 120 years.”
