Elkay Water Fountain Filter Install Guide

Created by Juli Williams, Modified on Tue, 25 Mar at 1:37 PM by Juli Williams

  • Remove gray cover under the water fountain. 

    • Screws are located at the bottom of the gray cover.

    • Unscrew using a screwdriver or ¼” socket   

  • Very important: Turn off the water supply. This is located behind the filter. 

    • To turn off the water supply depends on how the water supply was originally installed. You would have to turn the knob behind the filter either clockwise OR counterclockwise. 

    • To test which way turns off the water, first turn it clockwise. Then press the push bar (the bar you press as if you’re drinking water from the fountain) for a couple of seconds. 

    • If water is still coming out, you probably need to turn the knob counterclockwise to turn off your water supply. 

      • Turn the knob counterclockwise, and test it again. 

    • If water stops coming out, you have turned off your water supply. 

  • Twist the filter counterclockwise to take it out. 

  • Place the new filter in and turn clockwise. 

  • The green light should turn on. 

  • Place the gray cover back under the water fountain. 

  • Screw in the bottom again using a screwdriver or ¼” socket.
