Bsc Preferred 51299C Water Cooler Replacement Filter 1500 Gal

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 51299C is a replacement filter cartridge designed for water coolers and fountains equipped with the WaterSentry VII filtration system. It processes up to 1,500 gallons of water or one year of service before replacement is required. The cartridge reduces lead, particulate matter, chlorine, and odors, and carries NSF 42 and NSF 53 certifications for those reduction claims. A spun polypropylene pre-filter screens coarse sediment before water reaches the main filter media. Installation uses a quick-disconnect, quarter-turn mechanism with an automatic inlet shut-off valve that activates when the cartridge is removed, preventing spills during changeout. Plumbers and facility maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This filter cartridge is intended for use in water coolers and drinking fountains that accept the WaterSentry VII filtration system. It is suited for commercial and institutional hydration stations in offices, schools, and similar settings where municipal water supply feeds the cooler or fountain. The self-contained cartridge design keeps service personnel from direct contact with spent filter media, which is a practical consideration in high-traffic environments. Installations with higher daily draw volumes may reach the 1,500 gallon service limit before the one-year mark and should be monitored accordingly.

Installation Notes

Filter cartridge replacement is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified facility maintenance technician. Shut off the water supply to the cooler or fountain before beginning service. The quarter-turn quick-disconnect design and automatic inlet shut-off valve allow removal without draining the line, but follow the equipment manufacturer's service procedure to avoid valve damage. Dispose of spent cartridges in accordance with local regulations.
