Before Installation

Site Requirements

Before installing a Bevi unit, it is necessary to conduct a site inspection ensure

that the space, plumbing, and electrical requirements are meant.

Speciﬁcations for a standup Bevi include:

●Plumbing

○Minimum inﬂow rate of 1.3 gal/min (5 L/min) at 50 psi (3.5 Bar)

○3/8” outer diameter water line within 50 ft of the unit

●Electrical

○110-120 VAC, 60 Hz, 9A max current draw

○GFCI protected, 3-prong outlet

●Space

○At least 3” ventilation room behind the machine (the Bevi is 22”

deep)



Measuring Water Pressure

In order to conﬁrm that the main water line will have sufﬁcient pressure:

1. Measure the static water pressure, which should be no less than 50 psi.

2. Fully open the main water line valve and dispense 1 L of water,

recording the time it takes to ﬁll. If the container ﬁlls in 10 seconds or

less, then the water supply should be adequate.



mounting tape to attach the main unit to the topmost shelf inside the

Bevi (above ﬂavor shelf 1), plug in using the internal power outlet, and

mount the two antennae 6-8” apart on the back side of the Bevi near

the top of the machine.

7. Unscrew the ﬁlter housing from the ﬁlter head and insert the ﬁlter

cartridge. Ensure that the black rubber rings are in place on both ends

of the cartridge.

8. Screw the ﬁlter housing back onto the head. Hand tighten only; do not

overtighten.

9. Attach the short length of the ﬁlter outﬂow line and pressure regulator

to the outlet of the ﬁlter housing.

10. Turn the power button on the back of the machine on to ensure power

is working. The tablet should turn on and the lights above the the

dispense area should illuminate.

11. Turn the power back off.

Preparing the Carbonator

Filling the Ice Bank



1. Insert the ﬁlter outﬂow line to the Ice Bank Fill ﬁtting on back of the

carbonator.

2. Insert the included CO

2

tubing into the In CO

2

ﬁtting.

3. Cut a 4’ length of ⅜” polyethylene tubing and insert into the In Water

ﬁtting.

4. On the front of the machine, conﬁrm that the thermostat is set to 6. If

not, use a ﬂathead screwdriver to turn the dial clockwise to 7, then dial

5. Open the source water valve to ﬁll the ice bank until water trickles into

the overﬂow tube. Immediately close the water valve.

6. Remove the long length of the ﬁlter outlet line from the pressure

reducer and secure the end in the top of the overﬂow tube for future

use, if needed.

7. Insert the free end of the In Water line into the pressure regulator

outﬂow.



IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not operate Bevi with a thermostat setting above

6 . Doing so will cause the carbonator to freeze and can damage the unit.

Installing the Carbonator



1. Lock the wheels of the Bevi so they do not roll and lift the carbonator

into the unit, with the overﬂow tube facing towards the door. This step

may be done before ﬁlling the ice bank for an easier lift. 

2. Attach the AC power cord into the port to the back of the carbonator

and plug it into the outlet inside the unit.

Attaching Water Lines



1. Insert the Out Soda line into the white ﬂow compensator.

2. Insert the Out Water line from the carbonator into still water line,

which runs up the side of the Bevi.



3. Ensure that any other lines - an ambient tube and two connected and

insulated recirculation lines - are capped. They will not be used.

Installing the CO

2

Tank



1. Insert the free end of the In CO

2

line into the bottom ﬁtting of the CO

2

regulator.

2. Remove the safety cap from a new CO

2

tank.

3. Screw the CO

2

regulator onto the tank, ensuring that the small nylon

washer in the ﬁtting is in place. Tighten the connector nut with an

adjustable wrench.

4. Open the valve on the CO

2

tank so gas begins to ﬂow and ensure that

the valve on the regulator is open (pointing downwards).

5. Ensure that the pressure on the top gauge (the one closer to the CO

2

tank) reads 87 psi/6 bar. If not, use a ﬂathead screwdriver to adjust the

dial.

6. Place the CO

2

tank into the left hand side of the Bevi and set it squarely

on top of the metal plate with the regulator facing outwards.

7. Strap the CO

2

tank in by buckling the nylon strap around the tank.

Ensure that it is not tightened so much that that the tank tips, or it will

not properly record weight.



2

regulator set to a pressure of 6 bar



Installing Flavors

1. Locate the appropriately labeled box and line (we recommend labelling

your lines if they are not already marked).

2. Hold the QDC by placing the index ﬁnger of your left hand under the

ﬂavor line and the index ﬁnger of your right hand under the capped

ﬂavor peg on the other side of the QDC.

3. Place your thumbs on the side tabs on top of the QDC and press them

outwards, sliding the center back until it fully disengages and clicks

twice.





Proper holding technique for a QDC



4. Slide the connector sideways and off the spout of the bag. The old box

can now be removed and discarded.

5. Open a new box of ﬂavor concentrate by pressing in on the perforated

area. The label should be inspected to conﬁrm ﬂavor number and

ensure it is not expired.

6. Pull the spout out of the opening and ensure that the bag is not

bunched up and that concentrate can freely get to the spout.

7. Remove the cap from the spout. This can be discarded or kept with the

box to recap the bag upon removal. Ensure that the spout faces

upwards when doing this to avoid spills.

8. Place the new box in the appropriate area, checking that the spout is

facing outwards and hangs down slightly so concentrate can freely ﬂow



without creating air bubbles. For countertop models where the

concentrate may not have dedicated shelves, also ensure that the boxes

and lines are not interfering with or crushing each other.

9. Slide the QDC over the spout and, holding it in the same manner as in

Step 2, press the center in with your thumbs until it clicks twice.

Checking the Lines

1. Open all water valves, including the main line from the wall.

2. Turn on the carbonator and Bevi by ﬂipping the power switches.

3. Check that water is ﬂowing properly without leaking and that the lights

and tablet power are on. It should only take 30 seconds or so for the

touchscreen to boot up.



Initializing the Service Panel

The service panel can be accessed from the main tablet touchscreen. To enter

the panel:

1. Press the Ingredients button on the bottom of the touchscreen.

2. Select any ﬂavor to bring up the ingredients list view.

3. Either press and hold the X in the top right corner for approximately 5-6

seconds, or tap the bottom of the ingredients list window repeatedly

until the panel appears.



When you enter the service panel, it is important to navigate to the

Advanced tab to copy down the Machine ID and Touchscreen ID (the

Machine ID can also be found on a sticker on the back of the Bevi). You will

need this when Creating the Machine Page .

1. Press the Change button on the top of the service panel.

2. Select the appropriate connection type from the three options.



a. Connect Wirelessly: Turn on the WiFi with the slider at top right

of the screen. Select the appropriate network and enter the

password if necessary.

b. Connect via Ethernet: The ethernet port on the standup is

located beneath the power button on the back of the machine.

Simply plug the cable into the port and it should connect

automatically. In newer countertop models, the ethernet cable

hangs from the bottom of the head unit and will thread down

through the 4” hole in the countertop. And extension cable can

be used if it does not reach the ethernet jack.

c. Connect via OptConnect

TM

: After installing and initializing the

OptConnect

TM

, enter the Serial Number in the box and press

Done .

3. Return to the Service Panel main page and check that the internet is

properly connected. The icon on the left of the network ﬁeld should be

green, with a “Connected” tag and the connection type listed.

Initial Stocking



Flavors

For each ﬂavor, perform the following steps to initialize:

1. Press the Restock button to bring up the ﬂavor list.

2. Type in the two digit ID number found on the ﬂavor box, and select the

appropriate ﬂavor for the new concentrate.



Note: Make sure to go by the number on the box, not just the ﬂavor

name. Differently numbered ﬂavors can have differing concentration

dispense ratios.



3. Place a bucket or large container under the nozzle and prime the line

for at least 15 seconds, or until concentrate freely ﬂows. You can press

and hold the Prime button, or double tap it to let it auto pour. Tap it

again to stop the ﬂow.



CO

, press Restock and select 5lb or 10lb (we recommend 10lb

tanks).



Creating the Machine Page



The last step to registering the machine is to create a new unit on the

dashboard. To create a new machine page, you will need a smartphone or

computer (recommended).

1. Navigate to well.bevi.co and log in with your registered Google account

(please contact Bevi Support if you do not have an account).

2. On the Inventory page, press the + New Unit button.

3. Fill in the client’s company and the desired unit name and click Create

Unit .

4. On the new page, ﬁll in the following details:

a. Company and client contact information

b. Machine, Tablet, and optional OptConnect

TM

IDs

5. If the machine has been properly connected to the internet, the page

should update itself within a few minutes with the current inventory.

Final Steps

Purging the Carbonator

To ensure that the CO

2

and water mix properly, perform an initial carbonator

purge.

1. Turn off the carbonator then stop the main water ﬂow.

2. Dispense sparkling water until the reservoir is empty and only CO

2

dispenses.

3. Turn the water and carbonator back on to reﬁll reservoir. Ensure that

the water is turned on ﬁrst.

4. Test the sparkling water and check the pressure gauge.

Flushing the Filter

It is important whenever a ﬁlter is changed to ﬂush it ﬁrst. To ﬂush the ﬁlter:

1. Remove the water line from the outlet of the ﬁlter head.

2. Attach a small length of tube to the outlet, and let the free end hang

down into a bucket.



3. Dispense at least 3L of plain, still water into the bucket, discarding it

periodically until the water ﬂows clear.

4. Remove the length of tube, reattach the outlet line, and dispense

another liter or so of water through the machine to ensure a clean ﬂow

throughout.

Testing Water

Test each type of water - still, sparkling, and each ﬂavor - testing for the

following:

●Cool temperature (it will not be fully chilled yet)

●Correct, noticeable, and enjoyable ﬂavor

●Sufﬁcient CO

2

concentration

●Consistent ﬂow



If any of these seem off, consult the Bevi Hardware Guide or contact Bevi

Support at suppor[email protected]o . 

Enter Incubation

IMPORTANT NOTE: Incubation is a mandatory part of the installation

process. Without it, the Bevi temperature will be too high to properly

operate. Do not skip this step.



1. Once all components are properly connected and water is ﬂowing

properly, close and lock the door of the Bevi.

2. In the service panel, press the Start Incubation button on the Other tab

at the bottom of the page.

3. Select the incubation time. We recommend 3 hours, but it can be set

lower if the carbonator has already been running for some time.

4. A screensaver with a countdown will appear. If you need to exit the

screensaver and return to the control panel, tap repeatedly between

the hours and minutes on the screen.
