Models EFA4, EFA8, EFA14, EFA16 and EFA20
Self-contained, electric refrigerated, floor model water cooler.
Capacity of 50°F drinking water, based upon 80°F inlet water
and 90°F ambient.
Non-pressurized tank system is standard. Non-pressurized
water tank is located after bubbler valve, so that tank is
subject to line pressure only when valve button is pressed.
NO LEAD DESIGN
THIS WATER COOLER COMPLIES WITH THE LEAD-FREE
DEFINITION IN THE SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT OF 1986
AND LEAD CONTAMINATION CONTROL ACT OF 1988.
Elkay Water Coolers are manufactured with a waterway system utilizing copper components and completely lead-free
materials. These waterways have no lead because all lead
materials, such as leaded brass, have been removed. All
joints are brazed using silver solder only. No lead solder is
permitted. A strainer with an easily cleanable screen is provided to allow trapping and convenient removal of water born
particulate of 140 microns and larger prior to their entry into
the water cooler.

This water cooler has been designed and built to provide water to the user which has
not been altered by materials in the cooler waterways.
The grounding of electrical equipment such as telephone, computers, etc., to water
lines is a common procedure. This grounding may be in the building but may also
occur away from the building. This grounding can cause electrical feedback into a
water cooler creating an electrolysis which creates a metallic taste or causes an
increase in the metal content of the water. This condition is avoidable by installing the
cooler using the proper materials as shown below.
his water cooler must be connected to the water supply using a dielectric coupling.
T
he cooler is furnished with a non-metallic strainer which meets this requirement.
T
he drain trap which is provided by the installer should also be plastic to completely
T
solate the cooler from the building plumbing system.
