Overview
Avalon A8 Countertop Bottleless Cooler
A countertop bottleless water cooler with touchless press paddle spouts
The Avalon A8 puts filtered hot and cold water on the counter at 19 inches tall. It connects to your existing water line, and the two filters mount on the side so they are easy to reach.
Press a cup against the paddle for 185°F hot or 47°F cold water. Self-cleaning, a child safety lock, a nightlight, and leak detection come standard.
Available in black or white. On a budget? The Avalon B8 is the same style without self-cleaning for $90 less.

Installing the A8 countertop cooler
- A sturdy, level counter with room on the side for the filters
- A cold water line within reach of the included 20 ft of 1/4 in tubing: under a sink or a refrigerator water line
- The included metal adapter with valve (3/8 in compression) or three-way adapter (1/4 in) taps into that line
- A grounded wall outlet nearby (no extension cords)
- About 4 in of clearance behind and on both sides for airflow
- No drain needed. Overflow collects in the removable drip tray
A8 filters and upkeep
The A8 uses Avalon's NSF-certified dual filter set, models A4FILTER and A5FILTER, mounted on the side of the cooler. Each set lasts about 1,500 gallons or 6 months, and the filter light warns you when it is time.
Close the filter valve, twist out the sediment and carbon filters, and twist in the new set. Open the valve, reset the filter light, and run water for about 2 minutes. Order the Avalon dual replacement filter set when it is time.

Avalon A8 FAQs
How is the A8 different from the B8?
They share the same countertop style, press paddles, and filters. The A8 adds built-in self-cleaning. The B8 skips it and costs $90 less.
Does the A8 have room temperature water?
No. It pours hot and cold. For room temperature too, see the A12.
Do I need a plumber to install it?
No. The A8 connects to a cold water line under a sink or to a refrigerator water line with the included adapters and 20 ft of tubing. Avalon says no technician is required.
Does it need a drain?
No. Any overflow collects in the removable drip tray.
How long until the water is hot and cold?
After the tanks fill (10 to 15 minutes), hot water takes about 15 to 20 minutes and cold water about 1 hour on first startup.
How often do the filters need changing?
Every 6 months or 1,500 gallons. The Avalon dual replacement filter set replaces both filters at once.

Warranty
Warranty
- Avalon warrants its water coolers, bottle fillers, and chillers to the original purchaser against defects in materials or workmanship. Avalon will repair or replace a defective product, at its option, when the product was bought new from an authorized retailer.
- Coverage: Avalon products include a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty from the original purchase date. The warranty ends early if the product is sold or transferred.
- Registration: Register your unit with Avalon within 30 days of purchase to activate the warranty on Avalon's product registration page. Keep your model number, order number, and purchase date.
- Troubleshooting first: Every claim starts with troubleshooting alongside Avalon's support team. If a part fixes the issue, Avalon provides that part at no cost. A replacement unit is considered only after parts and troubleshooting have been tried.
- Installation and labor: Installation, maintenance, and repairs are the purchaser's responsibility. Plumber or third-party labor and extra installation materials are not covered.
- Not covered: Damage from accidents, misuse, improper installation or maintenance, relocation, unauthorized repairs, or unsanitary conditions. Units must be plugged directly into a grounded wall outlet. Using an extension cord or surge protector voids the warranty.
- Shipping damage: Report any shipping damage within 30 days of purchase. Damage reported after 30 days is not eligible for a warranty claim.
- A valid serial number and proof of purchase may be required. Shipping costs to return a product for repair or replacement are the purchaser's responsibility, and a replacement unit carries the remaining warranty from the original purchase date.
- Please contact us before returning any product or submitting a warranty claim so we can review your situation and connect you with the right support.
