Revolutionary New Water Cooler Design Unveiled By Halsey Taylor.

Oak Brook, IL--- A new water cooler, featuring unprecedented styling and enhanced features, was recently introduced by Halsey Taylor. Called Voyager, the unique new line is distinguished by its futuristic high-tech appearance.

"We have always thought a water cooler should blend in with, or compliment its surroundings," said Al Huneycutt, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Halsey Taylor. "Voyager does that, and more! I'm sure this unit is going to put a smile on a lot of architects', engineers' and designers' faces."

In addition to blending in beautifully with today's high-fashion environments, Voyager's smooth design and rounded corners result in a safer water cooler. Because there are no exposed sharp edges or louvers, Voyager is an especially wise choice for schools and other installations where children's safety is a concern.

Voyager's appearance and performance is further enhanced by an impact-resistant cabinet that is molded from a space-age polymer. The two-tone gray composite material is molded clear through to resist scratches and vandalism, as well as damage caused by sunlight, heat and moisture.

"We designed Voyager to stand-up to the rigors of everyday use in high-traffic settings, such as schools, hospitals, malls, stadiums, office buildings and hotel lobbies," added Huneycutt. "Maintenance personnel, facilities managers and building owners will certainly appreciate how Voyager's molded, smooth construction makes it easy to clean with just a damp cloth, or with a mild detergent."

The Voyager line includes a single unit, a bi-level unit, and hands-free models with electronic sensors. When installed properly, the barrier-free Voyager meets the requirements of ADA for both children and adults. The Voyager Bi-Level model is an especially good choice for meeting the needs of both individuals in wheelchairs and the general public.

Voyager water coolers also feature self-closing light-touch push bars that require minimal pressure to activate, a sleek stainless steel basin with integral strainer and, of course, Halsey Taylor's famous Double Bubbler... a patented projector with two separate streams of water that converge to provide a fuller, more satisfying drink.

"Installers will benefit from Voyager's light weight and the large opening in the back of the unit that makes most retrofit applications easier," concluded Huneycutt. "Plus, once Voyager is installed, routine service and maintenance can be easily performed through the front of the unit by simply removing the bottom panel."

Halsey Taylor manufactures and markets a complete line of water coolers and drinking fountains for both indoor and outdoor applications, and this year the company is observing their 90th Anniversary. For additional information contact your Halsey Taylor Representative, or call 630.574.3500.
