Expert Insight

Why We Recommend the Elkay LMABF8S

The Elkay LMABF8S combines refrigerated performance, certified filtration and mechanical activation in a durable stainless steel water cooler. Its accessible front and side pushbars make operation straightforward, while the classic single-station design fits comfortably into schools, offices, healthcare buildings and other busy indoor environments.

The hermetically sealed refrigeration system provides an 8 GPH rated cooling capacity for refreshing drinking water. A corrosion-resistant stainless steel finish supports long-term commercial use, while the Flexi-Guard bubbler incorporates a flexible antimicrobial mouth guard designed to help protect against injury and inhibit microorganism growth on the treated component.

Filtered configuration: This package includes the water cooler and its filter. The filtration system is certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 for the reduction of lead, Class I particulate, chlorine taste and odor. The Elkay 51299C WaterSentry VII replacement cartridge is available separately for scheduled filter service.
Operation during a power interruption: The mechanical pushbars can continue activating water flow when electrical service is unavailable, provided the building maintains water pressure. Active refrigeration requires electricity, so the cooler will not continue chilling the water until power is restored.
Accessories sold separately: The MLP100 single-station in-wall carrier and 98324C stainless steel cane apron are optional. Confirm wall support, plumbing, drainage, electrical service, maintenance clearance and finished mounting height before installation.

Best Applications

The LMABF8S is well suited to educational facilities, offices, medical buildings, municipal properties and other indoor locations that need chilled, filtered water with dependable mechanical controls. Its ADA design supports accessible use when installed with the required mounting height, clear floor space and approach clearances.

Quick Tip

Record the filter installation date and add the 51299C cartridge to the building’s maintenance schedule. Follow Elkay’s flushing, capacity and replacement guidance, since incoming water quality and consumption can affect actual cartridge service life.

Common Question

Does the Elkay LMABF8S include its initial water filter?
Yes. The water cooler and filter are included with this model. Future cartridge changes require the Elkay 51299C WaterSentry VII replacement filter, which is sold separately. Verify the installed cartridge number before ordering maintenance supplies.
