FAQ

Q: How is the Outdoor Filter different from standard indoor water filters?

A: The Outdoor Filter is specifically engineered with materials and construction techniques that withstand higher ambient temperatures (up to 122°F/50°C) and more extreme environmental conditions than standard indoor filters. It maintains filtration effectiveness despite temperature fluctuations, direct sunlight exposure, and seasonal weather changes that would compromise or damage typical indoor filtration systems, while still delivering the same comprehensive contaminant reduction certification.

Q: Does the filter need to be removed during winter months or extreme heat?

A: While the filter is designed to operate in temperatures from 35°F (2°C) to 122°F (50°C), units installed in non-temperature controlled environments must be adequately winterized in regions where freezing occurs. In extreme cold, water supply lines should be shut off and drained according to the drinking fountain manufacturer's winterization guidelines. In areas with temperatures consistently exceeding 122°F (50°C), additional shading or protection may be recommended to maintain optimal performance.

Q: How often should the Outdoor Filter cartridge be replaced?

A: The Outdoor Filter cartridge has a service life of 12 months or 4,750 gallons (17,980L), whichever comes first. However, in outdoor installations with high seasonal usage or locations with particularly challenging water conditions, more frequent inspection and replacement may be recommended. Replacement cartridges (part #041667-001) can be obtained by contacting an Oasis distributor.

Detailed Features & Benefits

Advanced Weather-Resistant Technology: The 041253-008 Outdoor Filter Kit represents a significant advancement in point-of-use water filtration for exterior applications. Standard filters typically fail when exposed to outdoor conditions due to material degradation from UV exposure, thermal expansion and contraction from temperature fluctuations, and general environmental stress. The Outdoor Filter addresses these challenges through specially formulated materials and construction techniques that maintain structural integrity and filtration efficiency despite these stressors. The filter head and cartridge are engineered with UV-resistant polymers and thermally stable components that prevent cracking, warping, or performance degradation in temperatures ranging from 35°F to 122°F, ensuring year-round access to clean water in outdoor environments where conventional filters would quickly fail.

Comprehensive Multi-Contaminant Reduction: Despite its rugged outdoor design, the Outdoor Filter delivers the same high level of filtration performance as premium indoor systems. NSF/ANSI 42 certification ensures reduction of chlorine, taste, odor, and particulates that affect water palatability – particularly important in outdoor settings where water quality may vary seasonally. The NSF/ANSI 53 certification confirms reduction of harmful lead, which can be more prevalent in outdoor plumbing systems exposed to environmental fluctuations, and potentially dangerous cysts. Additionally, NSF/ANSI 401 certification includes reduction of microplastics, an emerging contaminant of growing concern. This comprehensive approach means outdoor installations can provide the same high-quality water as indoor facilities, encouraging proper hydration in recreational spaces throughout the year.

High-Capacity Design for Outdoor Demands: The Outdoor Filter's 4,750-gallon capacity is specifically engineered to handle the unique usage patterns typical of outdoor installations. Many outdoor water sources experience extremely high seasonal usage followed by periods of minimal use. This filter's high capacity ensures it can handle peak demand periods without frequent replacements, while its robust construction maintains performance integrity even during low-usage periods when water stagnation can create additional filtration challenges. The 1.50 GPM flow rate delivers quick, efficient dispensing – particularly important in outdoor settings where users may be less patient – while still ensuring sufficient contact time with filter media for effective contaminant reduction. This balance of high capacity, fast flow, and dependable performance makes the Outdoor Filter ideally suited to the demanding conditions of exterior installations.
