ENERAL

Model EFOA8 has the Flexi-Guard electronic sensor-operated valve and automatic flow regulator to provide constant stream from 20 to 105 psi. Bubbler orifice is fully protected to meet all sanitary codes.

Non-pressurized tank system is standard. Non-pressurized water tank is located after solenoid valve, so that tank is subject to line pressure only when sensor is activated.

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.

IMPORTANT!

NSTALLER PLEASE NOTE:

his water cooler has been designed and built to provide water to the user which has

ot been altered by materials in the cooler waterways.

he grounding of electrical equipment such as telephone, computers, etc., to water

ines is a common procedure. This grounding may be in the building but may also

ccur away from the building. This grounding can cause electrical feedback into a

ater cooler creating an electrolysis which creates a metallic taste or causes an

ncrease in the metal content of the water. This condition is avoidable by installing the

ooler using the proper materials as shown below.

This water cooler must be connected to the water supply using a dielectric coupling. The cooler is furnished with a non-metallic strainer which meets this requirement.

The drain trap which is provided by the installer should also be plastic to completely isolate the cooler from the building plumbing system.
