How much PFAS reduction does the FLP4 filter provide?

The FLP4 filter is certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for Total PFAS reduction. It effectively reduces PFAS substances to below 20 ppt, while also providing excellent reduction of lead, microplastics, and other contaminants.

Why do third-party certifications matter?

Third-party certifications like NSF/ANSI provide independent verification of filter performance under rigorous testing conditions, giving you reliable assurance beyond manufacturer claims.

Aren’t all bottle fillers filtered?

No. Many bottle fillers lack filtration entirely or offer it only as an optional feature. Pro Filtration delivers top-tier certified contaminant reduction, including optional Total PFAS protection.

What makes Pro Filtration different from standard Elkay bottle fillers?

Pro Filtration revolutionizes the experience with four key innovations:

• Top-access filter design for replacement in under 30 seconds
• Industry-leading 10,000-gallon filter capacity
• Optional UVC LED technology at the dispense point
• Clear blue filter status indicator light

How does Pro Filtration compare to other manufacturers?

It offers up to 3x greater filter capacity (10,000 gallons vs. typical 3,000 gallons), faster top-access filter replacement, and premium stainless steel aesthetics.

What configurations and options are available?

Pro Filtration units are available in single and bi-level configurations. You can customize them with:

• Standard 10,000-gallon Ultra Capacity Lead filter (FL10 – included) — See here
• Optional 4,000-gallon Total PFAS + Lead filter (FLP4) — See here
• Optional sediment prefilter (FSR5) for improved clarity and extended filter life — See here
• Optional UVC LED at the dispense point

Bi-level models are available in traditional high-left/low-right orientation, with a field modification kit for versatile installation.

Does Pro Filtration fit existing installations?

Yes. It uses the same rough-in and plumbing footprint as standard Elkay fillers, making it perfect for both new construction and retrofits.

What colors and materials are available?

Units feature durable stainless steel construction for the bottle filler, basin, and alcove. They are currently available in a sleek Midnight Black finish, with additional colors coming soon. All models are engineered and manufactured in the USA.

Is a non-refrigerated version available?

Currently, all Pro Filtration units include integrated cooling. Non-refrigerated options will be introduced in the future.

Is there a residential model?

No. Pro Filtration is designed for commercial and institutional use. For residential applications, consider Elkay’s Avado Filtered Faucet or Liv series.

What filter options are available?

• FL10 – 10,000-gallon Ultra Capacity Lead filter (standard)
• FL6 – 6,000-gallon High Capacity lead filter (replacement option)
• FLP4 – 4,000-gallon Total PFAS + Lead filter (upgrade)
• FSR5 – Sediment prefilter (recommended upgrade)

Can I switch between different filter types?

Yes, the main contaminant-reducing filters are interchangeable. The sediment prefilter (FSR5) is not a replacement for a lead or PFAS filter — it acts as a protective Stage 1 filter.

Are Pro Filtration filters compatible with older Elkay units?

No. These filters are specific to Pro Filtration models and are not compatible with previous generations (and vice versa).

Can the filter be bypassed?

No. A filter must be installed for the unit to operate properly.

When should I use the sediment prefilter?

It is highly recommended in areas with dirt, sand, or sediment in the water supply. It protects the main filter, maintains strong flow rates, and extends system life. It can be added later in the field.

How do I know when to replace the filter?

Filter replacement is indicated by a red LED light or through plumbSMART™ remote alerts (when connected). Sediment prefilters should be changed along with the main filter or sooner if flow rate decreases.

How long does the UVC module last?

The UVC LED has a 10,000-hour lifespan and is replaceable. Under normal use, it typically needs service after 8–10 years.

How does smart connectivity work?

All Pro Filtration units are compatible with the patented plumbSMART™ system, allowing remote monitoring of filter status, water usage, maintenance alerts, and integration with most Building Automation Systems (BAS). A Pro Endpoint Connected Kit is required for full connectivity.

What does the smart system monitor?

It provides real-time data on filter life, water consumption, system performance, and usage trends. You’ll receive timely notifications and can remotely schedule line flushes to support water safety management.

What user-friendly features does Pro Filtration include?

Key features include FillSafe™ automatic filter recognition, low-energy LED lighting, Energy Savings Mode, system diagnostics, hands-free sensor activation, laminar flow for minimal splashing, dedicated drains, antimicrobial protection, and the Green Ticker™ showing bottles saved from landfill.

Why upgrade to Pro Filtration?

Pro Filtration offers major benefits in maintenance efficiency (30-second filter changes and 3x longer filter life), superior certified water quality, and modern premium aesthetics with stainless steel and Midnight Black finish.

How does the cost compare?

The initial cost is typically 10–15% higher than standard models, but the total cost of ownership is lower due to reduced maintenance and longer filter life.

Is the filter housing available separately for retrofits?

No. The top-access filter design is integrated into Pro Filtration units and cannot be added to standard models.

What is the expected lifespan of these units?

With proper maintenance, Pro Filtration units are designed for 10+ years of service. They include a 5-year limited warranty on refrigeration and 1-year on electrical and water systems.

Are Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) available?

Yes, EPDs are now available for these products.
