These were the first designs for the new bottle filling station product that Elkay developed. The term Combo, sometimes called Cooler Combo, refers to all the units that have a traditional drinking fountain on the bottom half and a bottle filler on the top half. These Combo units are then broken into a few different types, all being wall mounted, each having some distinctive features, as well as options.
Elkay designed it’s first unit back in 2010. This is the original, but it’s still a very popular unit today. It comes in filtered and unfiltered, as well as refrigerated and unrefrigerated varieties. It is a very popular unit in schools, and other high traffic applications. Here are some of the key benefits:
● Industry first Green ticker that counted plastic water bottles saved

● Filter status light taking the guesswork out of filter changes
● Comes in On-wall and In-wall varieties
● Highest rated filtration, NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 certified for Lead, Class 1 particulate, chlorine, taste, and odor
● Easy to change out individual parts in case of needed repair
