How effective is the FLP4 filter at reducing PFAS?

The FLP4 filter is certified under NSF/ANSI 53 for Total PFAS reduction and lowers PFAS levels to below 20 parts per trillion (ppt).

Why are third-party certifications important?

Third-party certifications validate filter performance through independent testing, ensuring reliable results beyond manufacturer claims.

Do all bottle filling stations include filtration?

No. Many units either lack filtration entirely or offer it only as an add-on. Pro Filtration systems include high-performance, certified filtration with optional PFAS reduction.

What configurations are available?

Units come in single-level and bi-level designs, with customizable options including:

• 10,000-gallon Ultra Capacity lead filter (standard)
• Total PFAS filter upgrade
• Sediment prefilter for improved clarity and filter longevity
• UVC LED disinfection at the dispense point

When will Pro Filtration units be available?

Pre-orders and quotes are currently open. Shipping begins July 1, 2025. Contact your Elkay representative for regional availability.

What materials and finishes are offered?

All units are built with durable stainless steel for long-term use in high-traffic areas. A Midnight Black finish is currently available, with more options coming soon.

Is a non-refrigerated version available?

Not yet. All current models include integrated cooling. Non-refrigerated options are planned for future release.

Does it fit the same installation footprint as standard Elkay units?

Yes. It uses the same rough-in and plumbing setup, making it suitable for both new installations and retrofits.

Are bi-level configurations offered?

Yes. Standard configurations include left-high/right-low (LZSTL).

Can bi-level units be installed in reverse layouts?

Yes, with a field-installed modification kit (P/N VERSATILEBFKITPRO).

Where are these units manufactured?

All Pro Filtration bottle fillers are engineered and manufactured in the United States.

Is there a residential version available?

No. These units are designed for commercial and institutional use. Residential alternatives include Avado, Liv, or Liv EZ filtered faucets.

What sets Pro Filtration apart from standard bottle fillers?

Pro Filtration introduces several key upgrades:

• Top-access filter design for changes in under 30 seconds
• Industry-leading 10,000-gallon filter capacity
• Optional UVC LED disinfection
• Blue indicator light for filter status visibility

How does it compare to other brands?

Key advantages include:

• Up to 3× higher filter capacity (10,000 vs. 3,000 gallons)
• Faster and more convenient filter replacement
• Premium, modern design

What filter options are available?

• FL10: 10,000-gallon lead filter (standard)
• FL6: 6,000-gallon lead filter (replacement)
• FLP4: 4,000-gallon PFAS + lead filter (upgrade)
• FSR5: Sediment prefilter (optional)

Can filters be interchanged?

Yes, all main filters are interchangeable. Note that the sediment prefilter cannot replace contaminant-reducing filters.

Are these filters compatible with older Elkay systems?

No, Pro Filtration filters are not cross-compatible with previous models.

Can the system operate without a filter?

No, a filter must be installed for proper operation.

Is the sediment prefilter required?

It is optional but recommended, especially in areas with sediment-heavy water.

When should a sediment prefilter be used?

It is ideal for locations with dirt or sand in the water supply, helping to:

• Protect the main filter
• Maintain system performance
• Preserve strong flow rates

Can the sediment filter be added later?

Yes, it can be installed and configured in the field.

How do I know when to replace the filter?

Replacement indicators include:

• Red LED alert
• plumbSMART™ notifications (if enabled)

What happens if the sediment filter isn’t replaced?

Clogging may occur, leading to reduced water flow due to sediment buildup.

Is the UVC module replaceable?

Yes, it can be replaced when needed.

How long does the UVC module last?

It has a lifespan of approximately 10,000 hours, typically lasting 8–10 years under normal use.

How is the filter replaced?

Access the top panel, rotate the filter a quarter turn, and swap it out—usually in under 30 seconds.

Are tools required for filter replacement?

Yes, a standard T25 Security Torx bit is needed.

Can I convert a non-filtered unit into a filtered one?

Yes, compatible retrofit solutions are available. Refer to the Retrofit Compatibility Guide.

Why should I upgrade to Pro Filtration?

• Faster maintenance with 30-second filter changes
• Longer filter life (up to 3×)
• Improved water quality with certified contaminant reduction
• Modern, premium design

How does pricing compare to standard models?

Initial costs are about 10–15% higher, but overall ownership costs are lower due to reduced maintenance and longer filter life.

What do replacement filters cost?

Pricing varies depending on the model and order volume. The FL10 offers strong value due to its high capacity.

Can the filter housing be added to an existing unit?

No. The top-access filtration system is integrated and cannot be retrofitted separately.

Are there additional costs for smart features?

Basic plumbSMART™ access is included at no extra cost. However:

• A gateway device is required
• LTE gateways may incur small data fees
• A Connected Endpoint Kit (P/N 1100000026) is required
