Oasis R8 Spec Sheet

Expert Insight

Why We Recommend the Oasis R8

The Oasis R8 Remote Water Chiller (502991) provides 8 GPH of refrigerated-water capacity for drinking fountains, bottle fillers, and custom hydration fixtures without built-in refrigeration. We often recommend this model when cooling equipment must be located away from the visible dispensing fixture or when a project needs more capacity than a smaller 5 GPH remote chiller provides.

The high-efficiency tank-type evaporator is insulated to support cooling performance, while the adjustable thermostat includes an off position for service or seasonal shutdown. A heavy-gauge galvanized steel cabinet, lead-free waterways, and a hermetically sealed R-134a refrigeration system support dependable commercial operation.

Best Applications

The R8 is well suited for schools, offices, healthcare facilities, recreation centers, libraries, custom millwork installations, and other indoor projects requiring remotely chilled drinking water. Its rated capacity is at least 8 GPH of 50°F water when cooling 80°F inlet water in a 90°F ambient environment.

Quick Tip

Do not install the Oasis R8 on a reverse-osmosis water supply. The manufacturer identifies this model as not suitable for RO water. Also place the chiller in a ventilated, serviceable location and insulate the chilled-water line to limit heat gain and exterior condensation between the R8 and the dispensing fixture.

Common Question

Can the Oasis R8 be mounted on a wall?
Yes, when the appropriate optional mounting components are used. The Oasis 030101-001 wall-mounting cradle and stainless steel grille are available at additional cost. The optional 026929 shelf support may also be used where appropriate. Confirm the wall structure, service clearances, ventilation, plumbing, and electrical requirements before selecting a mounting method.
