Family owned since 1920, Elkay began by making residential butler and pantry sinks. Elkay began in a small 2,100 square foot space on the North side of Chicago. It was 1920, a time when the quality of a business was solely measured by customer service, integrity and, above all, craftsmanship.
Today, Elkay is headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois, American owned and operated providing thousands of jobs that support our families and communities. Through the years, our core values have not budged an inch, remaining just as strong as they were a century ago. The company has grown to include faucets, foodservice fixtures, water delivery products and architectural millwork in addition to world-class sinks. Elkay is also one of the largest manufacturers in commercial fountains. Our fountains, coolers, chillers and bottle filling stations are proudly built in Savanna, Illinois.
At Elkay, we believe in doing our part to help sustain the earth’s natural resources. Our products are manufactured with recycled content whenever possible. We’re leading the charge with sustainable innovations, like our award-winning ezH2O Bottle Filling Stations.
The touchless, sensor-activated bottle filler is designed for easy use. There’s no need to hold the bottle; just place and fill. The bottle filler dispenses a clean, laminar flow of water so there is minimal splashing when filling reusable bottles and cups. The basin also includes a real drain system to help with drainage and eliminate standing water. Key plastic components on the unit have a special silver ion antimicrobial protection that inhibits the growth of mold and mildew.
Elkay ezH2O bottle filling stations provide users with convenient, refreshing, great tasting drinking water without the need for disposable plastic bottles. They encourage healthy hydration habits as well as promote sustainability. The cost of disposable single-serve beverages adds up fast and ezH2O bottle filling stations help reduce or eliminate costs by providing water on demand and eliminating the need to purchase and store single-serve beverages. The ezH2O bottle filling stations have helped eliminate over 24 billion plastic bottles that would have otherwise ended up in landfills or polluted our oceans. The exclusive Green Ticker counts the number of plastic bottles you are saving from waste and displays this right on the unit.
Our ezH2O bottle filling stations use an NSF certified WaterSentry filter to put cleaner, healthier water within reach by reducing lead and other contaminants. The water filters provide cleaner, great tasting water for our bottle filling stations, water coolers, drinking fountains and water dispensers. Filters are made with activated carbon to reduce lead, chlorine and improve taste and odor. Elkay filters are easy to connect and are self-contained replaceable cartridges, limiting exposure to contaminated media.
Elkay’s ezH2O bottle filling stations are ideal for environments both indoor and outdoor, including education, commercial, parks and recreation, government, health care, public facilities, fitness clubs and hospitality. With Elkay, you help ensure access to fresh, filtered drinking water to stay healthy and hydrated.
