Why Choose Murdock Manufacturing Fountains
Easy to Maintain
Murdock water coolers are designed to make life easier for the maintenance people who service them. The simple configuration of their drinking fountains, water coolers, and bottle fillers allows for easy access to the parts that need attention most often. In addition, there are less moving parts to potentially repair, making maintenance calls less frequent. For example, instead of three push buttons on a water cooler, Murdock fountains have only one.Service tasks like turning off the water, cleaning the strainer, changing the filter, adjusting water stream height, and replacing the cartridge can be completed easily and without disassembling the unit. See how easy it is to complete these tasks on a popular Murdock Water Cooler model in the video below.
Durability

Out of curiosity what’s is standard installation time for your A172.8UBL series model A172108F-UBL-BF1S
Hi Carl, Thanks for your question. Installation times will vary, depending on if it’s a new installation or a retrofit. A simple retrofit shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours and the only caveat would be location of the drain line, mounting points and supply/drain connections. A new install could conceivably take longer due to “first time” concerns. At that point and as long as there is direct access to water supply, drain lines and electric, again four hours could suffice. Please note that these times are a guess point and anything can change times at a certain job site. Give us a call for answers to any additional questions you have and for a price quote: 800-442-6622
We have a bottle filler that’s makes a clicking sound but no water.
