Bsc Preferred ECH8 Remote Water Chiller 8 Gph

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED ECH8 is a remote water chiller built to convert standard drinking fountains into high-output cooling stations. Rated at 8 gallons per hour (GPH), this non-filtered unit runs on 115V/60Hz at 370 watts with a full load draw of 5 amps. The hermetically sealed refrigeration system maintains consistent water temperature without requiring an external filter assembly. Designed for indoor installation only, the fully enclosed housing allows secure mounting in mechanical rooms, closets, or service corridors. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers for permanently wired chiller applications of this type.

The ECH8 is sized for two-station fountain applications in high-demand environments such as schools, office buildings, gyms, and similar commercial or institutional settings. Its remote design allows installation up to 15 feet away from the dispensing point, giving installers flexibility when the chiller cannot be located directly at the fountain. The unit is intended for permanent wiring rather than cord-and-plug connection, making it appropriate for new construction and renovation projects where a dedicated circuit is already planned.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and NEC requirements for permanently wired equipment. Shut off the water supply and de-energize the dedicated circuit before making any connections. The unit is rated for indoor use only and must not be installed in locations subject to freezing temperatures or direct moisture exposure. Do not exceed the 15-foot maximum distance between the chiller outlet and the fountain dispensing point.
