- Is the water actually chilled?
- Yes. A remote chiller cools the water before it reaches the dispenser, so it pours cold rather than room temperature.
- Does it need a drain and water line?
- Yes. It needs a potable water supply and a drain, plus 115V power, so plan for a plumber and an electrician.
- How often do filters need changing?
- Elkay rates the filter for a set gallon capacity or about a year, whichever comes first; heavy office use will shorten that.
- Where does the chiller go?
- The chiller is separate from the wall unit and is usually placed in a cabinet or utility space within the tubing run.
- Is it worth the price?
- For a busy office or gym replacing bottled water, the filtered chilled output and touchless operation can pay off over years. For light home use, a cheaper under-sink filter is more sensible.
- When is it cheapest?
- Only one store lists it new at $2,114.23 as of November 7, 2026, so there is little price competition; watch for commercial-supply sales.
