Q: The water fountain at our Boy Scout hut is leaking. I opened the back and found the leak is at both inlet and outlet ends of the strainer (I only know it's a strainer because I found a picture of in on your website). The model number of the fountain is either S500 5DO 1H, or S500 5DQ 1H (it's hard to tell if the 7th place holder is a O or a Q). It appears the part I need is Elkay Strainer 55996C. Would this be correct? If so, how do I remove the existing strainer to replace it with a new one? I tried pulling on it, but quit in fear I would rip something out.

A:
Yes, if this Elkay Strainer 55996C (Part #102483) is leaking, we recommend getting a replacement Strainer.

To disconnect the existing Strainer, you will press in the fittings on each end to free the water lines. As you're pressing in the fitting, pull out the water line.

Here is a video that illustrates how to remove the water lines from the quick connect fittings in your Drinking Fountain - http://www.kullysupply.com/blog/2012/08/02/test-video-post/.

Q: How do you remove the water supply lines from the old "Strainer"? Do they have to be cut with a pipe cutter?

A: The 55996C strainer has release collars on it. Push in the dark gray plastic piece that is next to the copper lines. While doing this, pull and gently twist the copper line to remove it. If the copper line will not come out of the strainer you will need to cut the lines.
