Elkay LZS8WSSP Enhanced Bottle Filler & Single ADA Cooler Refrigerated Stainless High Capacity Lead Drop Down Wrapper

Great product but must make sure the ruff ins are exactly where they specify and installation will be easy!

Unless you a seasoned DIY'er, you probably want help from a plumber/electrician. The measurements they show you for location of drain line, water line, & electrical are not accurate, so it takes critical thinking skills to make it work. But once it is installed, it works like a dream! Our church hasn't had a drinking fountain in 2 years - never had a bottle filler - but it has been in for just a few days, and people are going nuts over it! Well worth the investment!!

Love this water fountain, easy to install (thanks to a plumber friend), the water comes out fresh & cool, it’s also super easy to refill all our different sized water bottles.

This unit works very well for filling water bottles or drinking cups as well as a direct drinking fountain. There are two reasons I did not give it 5 stars. First to change the filter the bottom cabinet has to be removed which means removing 4 screws from the bottom of the unit which requires laying on the floor under the unit so you can see to allign the screw holes when reassembling the unit. The second reason is the drain and water supply must be only 2” apart at a specific height from the floor and the protrusion from the wall is also critical. This is not clear until the unit is unboxed and the assembly instructions are read.

As others have mentioned, the area you get to work with for installing the water pipe, drain pipes and electrical is very limited. So take your time and carefully select the access points. I recommend you first hang the base unit on the wall and then determine where the plumbing and electrical should enter from the wall. Even being off by a 1/2 inch will cause major headaches in the installation. But the drinking fountain is top notch and worth the effort once completed.

Replaced the old drinking fountain at our church that was from the 1970’s. The old one didn’t have a filter and the cooler quit working a long time ago. Finally it was time for an upgrade, and this one ticked all the boxes for us. Bottle filler, filter, refrigerated… and the best price we could find. Came with everything we needed except the water line and p-trap for the drain which was to be expected. Everything was pretty straight forward once we had the plumber move things around as this fountain needed the drain and water supply in a different location than the old one. Only problem we had was the space for the p-trap was extremely tight, and because of where a stud was we weren’t able to get the water shutoff exactly where the instructions called for. I think we had to move it over about a 1/2”, and while it still fits, I had to take the handle off the shutoff and use a crescent wrench to turn the water on and off because the stop is too close to the compressor. All in all, it wasn’t too bad, the installation instructions are pretty good, and people love the bottle filler option. I haven’t seen many people use the fountain to get a drink, but I see plenty of people filling cups and water bottles from it.

Works day in, day out. They love the water bottle feature and for once my Plumber did no scold me for Buying junk :-0

Installation in my situation was a pain in the rump! There is NO room in there for valve, drain pipe AND filter. I got it done but the struggle is real. I had to use a Dremel on one to make a little notch for more room.
