Using this foot pedal is super easy. Just step on it with your foot to activate the bottle filler for a hands - free filling. Remember, it only works for the bottle filler, not the attached fountains. And the push - button on the bottle filler still works as normal. When installing, attach it to the lower access panel opening firmly. For maintenance, since it has a powder - coated exterior over Type 316 stainless steel, a simple wipe with a mild cleaner can keep it in good shape. Also, make sure to check the connection regularly to ensure it stays secure. With 12 finish options, pick the one that best matches your outdoor tubular bottle filling station.
