Product Description
If you're paying for power and maintenance on an outdated cooler, you're wasting money. The Elkay VRCGRN8 is a high-efficiency, vandal-resistant water cooler that delivers cold, clean drinking water while using over 50% less energy than standard models. It’s built for heavy-use environments like schools, transit stations, correctional facilities, and parks—where failure isn’t an option.
No fragile electronics, no fuss—just a streamlined, push-button unit with a hermetically sealed refrigeration system that’s designed to outlast and outperform. With ADA compliance and a tamper-proof design, this cooler checks every box for public-use installations where uptime and durability are critical.
It’s efficient, rugged, and built to keep running when other units quit. You’ll never look at a traditional fountain the same way again.
