To start with, the unit is WRAS-approved, which means that all elements of the HydroBoost adhere to all Government water safety guidelines. The touchless sensor activation doesn™t just provide a user-friendly interface, but reduces the potential for waste water through user error, as well as removing the opportunity for vandalism “ there are no external moving parts to break. The laminar water flow prevents splashback, providing a cleaner user experience. Silver ion antimicrobial protection helps stop the development of mould and mildew on plastic-coated areas of the unit, ensuring a more hygienic drinking area. Real drainage removes the problems associated with a build up of standing water. And the 3,000-gallon filter (with LED filter replacement monitor) is certified to NSF 42 and 53 for lead, Class 1 particulate, chlorine, taste and odour reduction, making sure that you always receive the very best quality water available and that it meets the highest standards of cleanliness.

A hermetically sealed refrigeration unit uses R134A refrigerant gas to chill up to 9.3 gallons or 43 litres of water to 10 degrees Celsius every hour. The refrigeration unit is also protected against breakdown with lifetime lubrication and built-in overload protection. However, in the event that an internal component does become damaged or broken, you're also protected by Halsey Taylor's Limited 5 Year Warranty.

The HTHBWF-OVLEBP-I comes complete with a satin finish non-corrosive stainless steel casing, attached to a corrosion-resistant galvanised steel mounting frame. The high quality of these components not only protects the drinking fountain from everyday wear and tear, but also maintains the unit's stylish and attractive appearance under heavy daily use.

Halsey Taylor has also included a number of features to guarantee the hygiene and cleanliness of your drinking water. All plastic components inside the HTHBWF-OVLEBP-I have been treated with silver ion anti-microbial protection to prevent the growth of mold, whereas other components are treated for resistance against liming and corrosion. On top of this, a chrome-plated inline strainer will trap particles of dust or dirt larger than 0.14mm before they reach the inner waterways, and lead and other impurities are also filtered by an activated carbon HWF3000 WaterSentry® Plus Filter complete with red, yellow and green LEDs to indicate when maintenance or a replacement is required.
