GENERAL
SPECIFICATIONS
Lead Reduction Filter designed for use in Elkay water coolers, drinking

Designed to remove lead particles and chlorine. Also reduces odors and
discoloration from incoming water.
Features include Quick-Disconnect, 1/4 turn installation. Automatic inlet shut-
off valve that closes when lter is removed. Hands never touch the actual lter
media and, therefore, limit the potential for introduction of bacteria. Outer
protective wrap. Spun Polypropylene prelter mesh to prevent large, coarse
sediment and particles from entering and clogging lter media. High-grade
lter is made with activated carbon and patented ATS lead-removal media.
Radial ow-thru design provides more surface area for untreated water while
nal lter mesh prevents loose carbon from entering water.
