Elkay LZS8L Refrigerated Drinking Fountain, Filtered, 8.0 GPH Water Cooler, ADA, Pushbar Controls on Front and Sides, Light Gray Granite

Why We Recommend the Elkay LZS8L

The Elkay LZS8L is a practical choice for facilities that want filtered, refrigerated drinking water without adding a bottle filling station. Its wall-mounted ADA design conserves floor space, while the electronic push bars make the fountain easy to operate. The included filtration system provides additional water quality protection, and the deep basin with an integrated drain helps control splashing and simplify routine cleaning.

Best Applications

We commonly recommend the LZS8L for schools, office buildings, healthcare facilities, churches, libraries, municipal buildings, and other indoor locations where users primarily take a quick drink rather than fill reusable bottles. It is also a sensible replacement for an older wall-mounted water cooler when the facility wants to add filtration without substantially changing the fixture type.

Quick Tip

Filtered drinking fountains require an ongoing cartridge replacement plan. Before installation, determine who will monitor and replace the filter, then keep the correct replacement cartridge readily available. Delayed filter changes can reduce water flow and undermine the water quality benefits that led the facility to select a filtered model.

Common Question

What does the included filter reduce?
The LZS8L includes a filter system certified to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for the reduction of lead, Class I particulates, chlorine taste, and odor. This makes it a useful option for facilities that want chilled drinking water with added filtration in a traditional single-level fountain.
