53. Safe Drinking Water Act
Precursor was California’s
Proposition 65 to remove
lead from drinking water
Although SDWA was
approved 30 years ago,
potable systems didn’t
have to meet the standard
until August of 1998
Truly the only requirement
that manufacturers have
to comply with to prevent
lead from leaching into
drinking water
54. National Sanitation Foundation-
NSF 61, Section 9
Most recognizable testing
organization within the
United States
Although not required by
law, most engineers won’t
except product submittals
without this approval
NOTE: Acorn Aqua’s
NSF testing was All metallic and non-
conducted by IAPMO metallic parts integral to a
potable system must pass
the established toxicity
testing parameters as
established by the specific
NSF standard
55. Americans with Disabilities Act
Signed into law in 1990
ADAAG (Accessibility
Guidelines) provide
architects/engineers
minimum requirements
Initial code didn’t address
needs for children’s frontal
approach to a water cooler
Update to standard at the
DOJ office and has already
been published in the
Federal Registry for the
minimum standards for
disabled children.
Expected release in 2006
56. Texas Accessibility Standards
First state to establish
front accessibility
standards for children
TAS
Standards are for school
children ranging from
ages 4 – 10 and 11 – 15
New state code forced
the water cooler
manufactures to redesign
and retool their products
Precursor for
ADAAG update and
required Child ADA
accessibility
57. California AB1953 Lead Free
Lead free
Accommodated by all
Aqua fountains and
coolers with base
model ending with S
(A000000S)

the United States
and Canada
All plumbing certified

European Community
electrical safety
standards
Similar to UL
in North America
60. Low Flow – Water Saving

flexible, stainless
steel bubblers, have a
lower flow rate than
any competitor's
Acorn bubblers are
12-18% more efficient
than competitor's
supposed low flow
bubblers.
