Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation has launched its first combined lead-, PFOA- and PFOS-reducing filter integrated into Elkay bottle filling stations and faucets for schools, hospitals, airports and other commercial and residential applications.
As more is learned about the serious health effects of forever chemicals on people and as regulations evolve, Zurn Elkay Water Solutions is pleased to expand its certified filtration to PFOA and PFOS, two of the most prevalent per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) chemicals. This filter offers a tremendous option for our customers looking to provide safer, cleaner drinking water for everyone in schools, universities and places where people gather.
This new 2,250-gallon WaterSentry 71300C product is certified to reduce PFOA and PFOS as well as lead, cysts, Class I particulates and chlorine taste and odor from drinking water under NSF/ANSI 42 and 53. There are additional environmental benefits as well, as the 2,250-gallon capacity equates to eliminating the use of 14,400 single-use 20-ounce plastic water bottles.
For ease of maintenance, the 71300C filter is equipped with a quick-disconnect, 1/4-turn installation and an automatic inlet shut-off valve that closes when the filter is removed. The self-contained replaceable cartridges help to limit exposure to contaminated media when performing routine filter changes. With Fillsafe recognition, new filters are automatically recognized and the filter status light will return to green.
