How We Repair Your Elkay Bottleless Water Cooler
Water softeners, filters, reverse osmosis units, UV purifiers, water coolers and beverage dispensers treat or dispense water with valves, pumps, membranes and controls.
Every Elkay model has its own parts list, so we start with the model and serial number on the rating label. That tells us the correct parts and any known issues or service bulletins for your unit.

Do you work on all Elkay models?

Should I repair or replace my bottleless water cooler?
A bottleless water cooler typically lasts about 8 to 15 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
