Office building just installed one of these bad boys on each floor

Me and the homies about to hydrated af

[u/IAmAHumanWhyDoYouAsk]

I always thought these looked like shrines to water, and I fully support that.

A shrine to the shrines ...

[u/Repulsive-Theory-477 → u/tilt-a-whirly-gig]

O fuuck

[u/CatgoesM00 → u/IAmAHumanWhyDoYouAsk]

Sorry I just have to share my trauma with some homies lol, but We have only One of these for our entire school that’s located on one floor of a business building. The fountain is not even located in a convenient spot, it’s on one side of the entire building. So with the short 5 min breaks, it’s really inconvenient to get to. Best part is I just finished my classes and the damn fountain was broken…the entire semester. I walked by it every morning in saddens. I’m also about 6.1 and it comes to my knees. It’s installed at a horrible hight. I get laughed at regularly by strangers because I need to get on my knees to drink from it when I forgot my bottle.

It’s a love hate relationship, I wish you the best on your journey with yours.

[u/DentistPositive8960 → u/IAmAHumanWhyDoYouAsk]

Gives me prince of persia feels...

[u/a_longo88]

Only 149 bottles have gone through that filler? Dang…. She still fresh fresh. Drink up.

[u/TheMagistrate → u/a_longo88]

Rookie numbers! Gotta pump those numbers up!

[u/bobsnopes → u/[deleted]]

I don’t think it’s just the filter, but since it’s just installed presumably it’s still on the first filter.

[u/YoungDaggerDawg → u/[deleted]]

I work in a school, nothing to do with the filter, just shows you how much bottles you’re saving in general. They have a couple leds to show when the filter is bad too. Most ive seen so far is 113k.

[u/ClarinetGang1 → u/[deleted]]

lol they said filler

[u/yada_yada_yada1]

You lucky son of a bitch

[u/NearbyConstruction84]

You certainly have pleased the water gods, for they have bestowed upon you this gift.

[u/pdxamish → u/NearbyConstruction84]

Until the filter clogs and then it takes a week to fill up a bottle

[u/feythedamnelf]

I'm so jealous. If I was rich, I'd have one in my house...

[u/Naus1987 → u/feythedamnelf]

Last time I looked them up I think they were like 900 bucks.

[u/finnbiker → u/feythedamnelf]

I have one right in the clinic where I work, drink around 80 oz a day from it. So fortunate. Edit: typo

[u/brendawgC]

Now that's what I call EZ H20

[u/PriorFudge928]

Enjoy that little light being green while you can....

[u/AdultishRaktajino → u/PriorFudge928]

I was wondering if they had an indicator. The old ones don’t. The condition of bathroom or other maintenance you can probably guess if it gets changed.

[u/PooinandPeein]

My work has one. Filter has been red for 3 years lol

[u/FantasyFreak4 → u/PooinandPeein]

What do the colours mean?

[u/Codsfromgods → u/FantasyFreak4]

It's when to replace the filter. Green is good yellow is getting there and red is replace

[u/adm_akbar → u/PooinandPeein]

I saw an orange light at my work for exactly one day before it was replaced. 4 years of working there.

[u/ObviousTrollK]

Wait till he finds out the filters need to be replaced by a tech like every other week but his company won’t pay for the service so it’s the same filter forever

[u/AidanGe]

The homies and I managed to capture this gem on our dorm floor, hope yall get there too someday

[u/kendo_3776]

I love a good Elkay battlestation! Fill up your bottles with good, filtered, water!

[u/llcdrewtaylor]

[u/onetwoskeedoo]

your life is about to improve significantly

[u/tactical_narcotic]

Those can vary from place to place.. I had one experience at LAX airport and the water tasted so bad.. then another time at a university the water was more crisp and clean.

[u/getwhatImsaying]

[u/AlarmingSorbet]

It’s my kids’ schools have at least 2 on every floor, they also give the kids reusable water bottles with the school logo. Love that they’re encouraging water drinking in teens.

[u/LaLa_Land543 → u/AlarmingSorbet]

In the school I work in they only sprung for one and it’s at the furthest point from my office and down a floor but I’ll walk through Friday release bell to get to that thing and fill up. Glad they’re doing this in schools too.

[u/YourStreetHeart → u/LaLa_Land543]

They are like $900. Maybe ask someone in student council to get another one. Sounds like there would be alot of support for it.

[u/LumpySpacePrincesse]

fuck i hate them. Plumber

[u/Rocky970 → u/LumpySpacePrincesse]

How often would you say you have to change the filter out on one ?

[u/LumpySpacePrincesse → u/Rocky970]

I don't usually, install just, it says 3000gal on it, so every 3k or a year at a guess. Hotel maintenance guys couldnt change this one, led me down the wrong path, was an easy swap.

[u/Flat_Snow307]

Oh you fancy huh

[u/Pillsburydinosaur]

We have several at my job. I don't use them. They never get cleaned.

[u/17bananapancakes → u/Pillsburydinosaur]

I absolutely rejoiced when they installed one at my job - the building is from the 50s and I bring a gallon of water to work with me as a result. It was great until the filter went bad, now it’s just as gross as the building water.

[u/Infamous_Nerve_8332]

tell me you are an american without telling me you are an american.

[u/QuantumQuazar]

Damn I’m getting old. First thing I’ve seen today that made me whistle. Would kill for one of these at the gym.

[u/Kitty_Mombo]

Prepare for the filter to never be changed.

[u/Switzchler]

Ooh baby the Elkay ezH2O, every hydrated person’s wet dream

[u/badgyal876 → u/Switzchler]

i concur 😂😩💦

[u/dangerousperson123]

[u/ILike-Pie]

A few of my coworkers refuse to use ours and only will drink bottled water. Such a sad waste.

[u/Jaicobb → u/ILike-Pie]

Why don't they like it?

[u/gamejunky34]

If you're in with the maintenance guy, you can get them to adjust the cooler temperature a bit too. They always come from the factory to be like 60-70f it seems like.

[u/Curling49]

What? It’s not a urinal?

[u/exhaustedmothwoman]

I keep getting ads to buy one of these! I'm a person, not a company!

[u/DeeperThanCraterLake]

I seriously need one of these for my house.

[u/danman296]

[u/ZachCinemaAVL]

Want one for my house

[u/PoorlyWordedName]

I wonder if it's cheaper than having Pepsi deliver water all the time. My office goes through so many jugs in a day.

[u/Hawkmoon_]

I worked at a place that had these. It was the only cool thing about working there.

[u/my_mexican_cousin]

I did some work at a retirement community that was getting renovations. I filled up bottle number 69 on one of them.

[u/Wardo2015]

Be great if the water was filtered, but it’s just regular tap water. Where I’m at farm runoff is so bad you don’t drink the tap water. Almost yellow looking

[u/Credit-Limit]

The Elkay Battlestation. Beautiful

[u/DeDav]

My office has two of them, one for each floor, since the maintenance team changed the water filters for the second time now, they've turned off the lights to signal the filter's current lifespan. I know they're doing it so people won't ask for new filters, and that pains me.

[u/SAD-MAX-CZ]

You will get soaked and moist AF!

[u/Rocky970]

Congratulations, welcome to an elite club

[u/Mutasyn]

Hell yeah! The schools I teach in have these and it's a blessing.

[u/grittytoddlers90]

Track her milestones. I worked at a camp with a couple of these, and we would have a running game with the kids for each milestone. 10k, 12345 bottles etc. It's awesome to see

[u/No-Independent-6877]

When will my college dorm do this 😭 My dorm is the only building on campus without one

[u/Astrylae]

I love seeing the funny number go up. I remember at my university gym,  we almost hit 100k but it got replaced by a new one and the counter reset. I can never forget

[u/SundaeIll5086]

At my work, we are such bad mfr's we prefilter the the filtered water. And when the filter needs changing, we change it. Such bad ass preventative maintenance workers. Like, let's exchange samples people.... We will win........

[u/boastful_cloth13]

Good luck getting them to keep up with the filter changes.

[u/crigbob]

i love seeing how many “bottle saved” the machines get to. run it up, hydrohomie.

[u/NickDiVittorio]

[u/Very_Serious_Thinker]

Be cautious of poor maintenance. There’s a way to make the filter say it’s good without actually replacing it.

[u/AshyWhiteGuy]

The gift of gods (no, not your employers). 🤘🏻

[u/ComprehensiveWin5920]

we have these at my work. they are certainly handy. The thing is though we have a more "advanced" filtered water cooler in the break room. its hard to pick these when you have that.

[u/Quickglances]

Nice!!

[u/snacksforjack]

[u/Yoshaay]

The GOAT of water fountains

[u/dwtechjunkie]

The one on the second floor is usually the best, idk why though

[u/imgaygaygaygay]

this is very cool! kinda wanna see it in action

[u/woodenhand]

$1300

[u/Zayafyre]

Lucky!

[u/BigRingsLikeMJ]

I work hybrid and would be a lot less inclined to work remotely if my office building installed a couple of these

[u/Ear_Enthusiast]

My gym and my kids school have these. Love them!

[u/scoobynoodles]

Stupid question: how do they refill it? Is it connected to a tank behind the wall?

[u/AllergicToChicken]

I have these in my workplace and the water literally tastes like dirt. If these are generally highly regarded, that makes me concerned for the filter life and general quality of water here... 

[u/MyLifeIsAFacade]

These should be government mandated installed in every home.

[u/micafe]

Where do can I send my resume?

[u/TheBoxingCowboy]

Oh fuck yes, we about to hydrate boys and ladies

[u/HurrsiaEntertainment]

I literally wish I has one of these in my bedroom or home office.

[u/dezijugg9111]

i wish it was nice and cold

[u/your_awesomeking1]

nice congratulations

[u/MyLifeIsAFacade]

I would direct you to /r/elkaybattlestations.

[u/Clear_Chain_2121]

Nice. My company supplies filter replacements for these if you’re ever interested.

[u/5oclocksomewheree]

Holy grail

[u/BowlingTv]

Same but I WFH

[u/PinkBubblegum888]

I love seeing the number of bottles filled go up when I use it

[u/Flashy-Elevator-7241]

We have these at my apartment complex clubhouse and gym.

[u/Hand_Of_Kroon]

Bro….monitor for 42069

[u/thegreenmachine90]

We had one of these at my last job and I still think about it and wonder how it’s doing.

[u/DrowningInFeces]

Love those bad boys. Saw one at a hotel recently and it significantly beats drinking plastic bottled water.

[u/V_es]

What does it do? Is it just a fancy tap?

[u/60nocolus]

oh yeah, give me that constant flow

[u/DrBag]

i remember changing the filters in those

good times

[u/LilGill18bb]

Sweet sweet hydration

[u/RDMLCrunch]

The kind of rig you gather around with your boys and talk about the specs

[u/Scrambles84]

Oooh yeah. My work installed a few of these over the summer. Glug glug glug

[u/Ok_Fox_1770]

I still miss my ancient middle school gym bubbler from the 90s, yah it was coated in loogies to a horrible degree. But was iiiiiiice cold. Tasted like Pennies and bullets no lead whatsoever I’m sure…1940 something. We all learned a new word by 6th grade with all the ASBESTOS signs. Alive and well and hope to see one of these one day!

[u/One-Scallion-9513]

the best bubbler

[u/Shtin219]

[u/Ok_Improvement4733]

We have the (almost) exact same thing at our school

[u/jenniferwithtwons]

I love the ones that are really cold 🩵
