Review these instructions before beginning installation. Be sure that installation conforms to all plumbing, electrical and other applicable codes.
When installation is complete, ensure these instructions are left in the plastic bag provided inside the installed unit for future reference.
Service to be performed by authorized service personnel only.
NOTE: It is common practice to ground electrical hardware such as telephones, computers and other devices to available water lines. This can, however, cause electrical feedback in the plumbing circuit, which results in an “electrolysis” effect occurring in the fountain. This may result in water which has a metallic taste to it or has a noticeable increase in the metallic content of the water.
When inspecting plumbing circuit, remember the line may be grounded some distance from the installation, and may occur outside the building or area in which the unit is being installed.
This condition can be avoided (in most cases) by using recommended materials during installation. Any drain fittings provided by the installer should be made of plastic which will electronically isolate the fountain from the remainder of the building’s plumbing circuits.

8. Install fountains with (8) 5/16-18 HHMS & (8) 5/16-18 nuts (provided) (Fig. 4). Connect the ¼” water lines from each fountain to the remaining openings on the tee at the remote chiller (cut lines to fit as needed).
9. Attach waste tubes (1-1/4″ O.D.) to 1-1/4″ O.D. slip trap. Trap on the bottle filler side must be 1-1/2″ O.D. (provided by others).
10. Make final water supply connections.
11. These products are designed to operate on 20-105 PSI supply line pressure. If inlet pressure is above 105 PSI, a pressure regulator must be installed in the supply line. (Caution: Any damage caused by connecting these products to a supply line with pressure lower than 20 PSI or higher than 105 PSI IS NOT covered under warranty.)
12. Make electrical connections to the bottle filler and remote chiller. The LCD Bottle counter should illuminate.
13. Verify proper dispensing from the bottle filler by placing a cup, hand or any opaque object in front of sensor area and verify water dispenses. Note: the first initial dispenses might have air in the line which may cause a sputter. This will be eliminated once all air is purged from the line. A steady stream of water assures all air is removed. The sensor has a 20 second maxi mum ON time. It may be necessary to step away from the beam a few times to purge all air. Check for leaks.
14. Check stream height from bubbler. Stream height is factory set for 35 PSI supply. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, remove push button (Item 7 – Fig. 8) and adjust the screw on the regulator (Item 8 – Fig. 8). To remove push but ton, remove setscrew from bottom of sleeve (Item 21). Insert a small punch in screw hole and push up while grasping the push button and pull forward removing the push button. Clock wise adjustment will raise stream height and counterclockwise movement will lower stream height. For best adjustment stream should hit basin approximately 6-1/2″ from the bubbler. Reassemble the push button by pushing in on button until the push button catches in the sleeve. Reinstall the setscrew (Item 21) in the sleeve (Item 6).
15. Install the cover plates.
16. Install the bottom panel, tighten screws (Fig. 4).
17. Optional: Mount optional panels. Slide tongue of panel under edge of already installed panel. Tighten screws.
