attach it to lter head, if not already installed. Firmly
press the lter onto the lter head and turn it clockwise
to install or counterclockwise to remove. Make sure
the label is facing outward.
4.6 Connecting the Optional Catch Basin Drain
The water dispenser does not require a drain connection
to the household wastewater plumbing. The water
dispenser has a built-in catch basin that will hold the
typical overow that can occur when using the product.
Some local building codes, however, may require a
wastewater drain to prevent the potential overow of
water. The following steps cover the installation of the
drain.

[phone] 11 Elkay Manufacturing Company
1000005232 (Rev. A - 04/19) Built-in Filtered Water Dispenser
1. Remove the metal tray and the plastic drip tray from
the drain basin.
2. Remove the two screws attaching the drain basin to
the water dispenser. Remove the drain basin.
3. Place the drain basin on a at, hard surface, such
as a piece of sacricial wood. Carefully drill a hole
in the basin using a 1-inch hole saw using the
centering-dimple as a guide to center the hole saw.
Note: Do not use a 1-1/8 inch hole saw as this will make
the opening too large.
4. Place the drain basin back into the water dispenser
and reinstall the two screws.
5. Place a small amount of plumbers putty around the lip
of the strainer ange and insert it into the hole. If the
ange does not t, carefully open the size of the hole.
6. Install the O-ring over the strainer threads.

Elkay Manufacturing Company 12 [phone]
Built-in Filtered Water Dispenser 1000005232 (Rev. A - 04/19)
7. Thread the strainer into the drain adapter. Tighten the
connection to create a watertight seal.
8. Attach one end of the 3/4 inch exible drain hose to
the 3/4 inch barbed drain adapter connection using the
supplied hose clamp. The supplied exible drain is 13
inches long. If a longer drain hose is required, it must
be installer-supplied.
9. Route the drain hose through the lter box and attach
the other end to the p-trap drain adapter using a hose
clamp. The drain adapter is designed to be glued into
a 1-1/4 inch PVC pipe.
10. Connect the drain adapter into the household waste
drain pipe.
If the p-trap is located inside a sealed walled, it must
have permanently-glued joints. If the p-trap is in an
accessible location, a standard non-glued p-trap is
acceptable.
Note: Whichever installation method is used, it must
meet local standards and building codes.
4.7 Remote Filter Location
The lter unit can also be installed remotely, up to 15 feet
away from the water dispenser. The remote lter location
is normally associated with the installation of a water
chiller.
1. If desired, remove the lter unit from the lter box.
2. Securely mount the lter unit in the desired location.

[phone] 13 Elkay Manufacturing Company

3. Connect a 3/8 inch water supply line, copper or
plastic, to the quarter-turn shutoff valve.
4. Connect a 1/4 inch water line, copper or plastic, to the
outlet connector of the lter.
5. Connect the 1/4 inch water line to either a remote
chiller or the 1/4 inch water line on the water
dispenser. Use a union connection tting to connect
the water line to the water dispenser.
NOTICE
Do not disconnect the 1/4 inch
tubing from the water valve at
the top of the water dispenser. This connection has
been factory tested to be leak-free and could result in
water leaking into the unit if this connection is
changed.
6. If a remote chiller is installed, follow the installation
instructions provided with that unit.
4.8 Remote Water Chiller
A remote water chiller can be installed in connection with
the water dispenser to supply chilled water. The chiller
must be installed within 15 feet of the water dispenser, in
an accessible location. Install the chiller with adequate
ventilation space as outlined in the water chiller manual.
The standard installation of the built-in water dispenser
supplies ltered water at the ambient temperature of the
water supply that comes into the unit. This temperature
can vary greatly depending on the location of the
incoming water line.
Follow the installation instructions that come with the
water chiller. A lter unit must also be installed prior to
the chiller, and the water line from the chiller to the water
dispenser cannot be more than 15 feet long. When the
lter is located in a remote location, mount the lter
vertically on a wall or other supporting structure near the
chiller.

4. Place a container under the water dispenser spout
to activate the ll sensor and dispense at least one
gallon of water to bleed off any trapped air from the
supply lines and lter as well as ush any ne carbon
particles from the lter.
Note: The water dispenser is set to automatically shut off
after 16 ounces of water has been dispensed to
prevent overow and potential ooding so multiple
activations will be required to get the required one
gallon of water ow through the unit.
5. If there are no leaks and the unit is functioning
correctly, install the water dispenser cover and then
install the lter box cover using the athead screws
and a 3/32 inch Allen wrench.
6. Upon initial startup, the PLASTIC BOTTLES SAVED
indicator panel should show several bottles have been
saved due to the water used to initially start up the
unit.
7. The left-most FILTER LIFE indicator light should also
be lit. This light shows the lter is functioning correctly
and has used less than 65 percent of its capacity.
When the middle blue light illuminates, the lter has
reached 66 percent of its life and will need to be
changed soon. When this indicator light comes on, a
replacement lter should be ordered.
The right-most red light will illuminate in red and
indicates that the lter should be changed.
FILTER LIFE PLASTIC BOTTLES SAVED
8. Once the installation is complete, the water has been
turned on, and any trapped air has been bled from the
system re-check for any water leaks.
6. Cleaning
Warm, soapy water can be used to clean the exterior
panels of the unit. Extra caution should be used to clean
the glass cover panel. It can be easily scratched and
should only be cleaned with mild soap and water or glass
cleaner and a clean, soft cloth. Use of harsh chemicals
(including bleach), petroleum-based, or abrasive cleaners
will void the warranty.

7. Maintenance
7.1 Filter Cartridge Replacement
A lter cartridge is designed to lter approximately 750
gallons of water at which time it must be replaced. The
lter should also be replaced every 12 months if the
750-gallon maximum is not reached.
1. Remove four screws from lter box cover using a 3/32
Allen wrench (if lter box is installed).

2. Shut off the water supply using the shut-off valve.
Turn water shut-off valve handle to the OFF position
(clockwise). The handle will be facing up when closed.
Note: The filter head contains an automatic shut-off
valve that stops the flow of water, in case filter is
inadvertently removed without shutting OFF the
water supply.
3. Activate the water dispenser using a water bottle to
relieve pressure in the water line.
4. Shut OFF power to the unit at the circuit breaker.
5. Place a towel inside the lter box, under the lter, to
absorb any water that leaks out of the lter when it is
removed.
6. Twist the lter counterclockwise until it is disengaged.
Remove the lter and quickly hold it upright.
7. Drain the lter before disposing of it in the trash. The
lter can be discarded along with the everyday trash.
8. Remove and discard the protective cap from the new
lter cartridge.
9. Mark the current date on the label of the new lter
cartridge in the space provided.
10. Attach the lter cartridge by rmly inserting it onto
the lter head and twisting it clockwise until it is
completely seated. The label must be facing outward
to be correctly installed.
11. Restore power to the unit at the circuit breaker.

12. Check the lter status light. If the red light is blinking
the lter is installed incorrectly. A steady blue light
indicates the lter is installed properly.
13. Open the water supply valve.
14. Place a container under the spout to activate the ll
sensor and dispense at least one gallon of water.
This amount of water will bleed any trapped air from
the supply lines and lter as well as ush any ne
carbon particles from the lter.
Note: The unit is set to automatically shut off after 16
ounces of water has been dispensed to prevent
overow and potential ooding so activations will
be required to get the needed one gallon of water
ow through the unit.
15. Check for leaks.
16. Re-install the lter box cover.
