CR-KIT-CT Install Kit
Ordered Separately
Install Kit for CR-1 & CR-2
Countertop Chiller Systems
This Kit is designed to supply you with
the fittings & parts you may need to
complete the install of an CR-24FC
Filter system with 3/4” inlet and outlet
fittings to a Crysalli CR-1 or CR-2 chiller
unit.
Reference the Crysalli Countertop
system Quick Install Guide for part
usage and install details.
Connections: The water inlet is
the 3/8” quick connect fitting on
the botton of the chiller. Use the
PP221212W.
The clear hose is the overflow drain
hose.
The 1/4” white braided hose with
fitting is the CO2 inlet. The CR-PC160
CO2 Regulator connects to this.
Water bath must be manaully filled
with water.
Always reference local plumbing codes
to determine if a backflow preventer is
required and to check the type/style of
backflow preventer that is accepted as
well as the plumbing location it needs
to be placed in.
Crysalli does not include backflow
preventers in the install kits because of
variability in requirements.
Backflow devices should be sourced
from local plumbing stores.
For questions or assistance with install
contact Crysalli 510-732-0100 or your
local Distributor.

1. Select a location for your chilled
water dispenser, keeping in mind
the unit needs air space behind it
and to the sides. Place unit within
6’ of water filter connection &
120-volt electrical outlet. Make
consideration for proximity of a
floor sink for the overflow drain
hose.
2. Locate the CR-KIT-CT install kit
and unpackage and take note of
the fittings, water regulator and
hose supplied to complete the
install.
3. Locate the CR-24FC water filter
system head and filter cartridges.
Mount the water filter system in
an accessible location with at
least 3” of space below the filters
for service. The filter system
has a 3/4” fpt inlet and outlet,
locate the adaptor fittings in the
install kit to reduce down to 3/8”
(PSEI02026 1/2” tube to 3/4” mpt,
and PP062012W reducer 5/8” stem
to 3/8” tube). Locate the PE-12-EI,
12’ role of 3/8” OD hose. This hose
should be used for the inlet and
outlet of the filter system and to
feed into the inlet of the chiller. Do
not use the 1/4” braided hose for
water connections or with John
Guest fittings, it will not hold. The
1/4” braided hose is for extra CO2
line only.
4. Locate the PSEI6012U9 3/8”
anglestop adaptor fitting from the
install kit. This fitting replaces the
compression nut and ferule ring
on the angle stop and is meant to
be hand tightened to the angle
stop outlet so you have a 3/8”
quick connect fitting outlet to the
filter system. Measure and cut a
length 3/8” OD hose to connect
from the angle stop to the inlet
of the filter system. Consult
local plumbing codes for use
and requirements of a backflow
device.
5. The water inlet for the chiller is
a 3/8” quick connect push-in
fitting, located on the bottom
base of the unit near the front
legs. Connect the end of 3/8”
hose from the water filter system
to the PP221212W elbow swivel
3/8” tube to 3/8” stem fitting and
connect that fitting into the inlet
of the chiller.
6. Locate the 8”x8” box for CR-PC160
High Pressure CO2 regulator.
Unbox this regulator and locate
the 1/4” nylon washer taped to the
packaging. The 8’ length of 1/4”
white braded hose extending out
the base of the chiller is the CO2
hose. It has a stainless-steel flare
nut on the end. Rout this hose to
the location of the CO2 tank. If
extra length is required locate the
6’ of 1/4” hose, 1/4” barb union
and 9.5 Oetiker clamps from the
install kit and splice the line in.
The 1/4” nylon washer should be
inserted into the SS flare nut fitting
at the end of the hose and then
connect to the CO2 Regulator.
7. The clear hose coming out the
bottom of the chiller is overflow
water bath drain hose. It is best
to run this hose to a floor drain
or other waste drain. You will get
some draining from this hose
during the install start-up of the
chiller as the water bath freezes an
ice bank.
8. Turn on water at the filter system
and flush the water filters of air via
the flush valve on the filter system.
Check for leaks.
9. Fill water bath: Remove lid and
fill water bath with non-filtered/
non-soened tap water, fill up
no less than 1/4” to top of white
standpipe. This is the vertical
white tube in the water bath that
is connected to the clear overflow
hose.
10. Plug unit power cord into 120-volt
outlet. Toggle the on/o rocker
switch to the “on” position. Fan
and compressor will turn on. Fan
and compressor will automatically
turn o when a complete ice bank
is made and cycle on and o to
maintain it.
11. Unit will take between 3-4 hours
to make a complete ice bank. 1/3
of the water bath should freeze
over the refrigeration coils to form
a block of ice. On the CR-1 models
the ice bank forms along the
right side of the bath. On the CR-2
models the ice bank forms an “n”
shape around the outside edges of
the bath.
12. Open CO2 at the CO2 tank
by turning knob on tank
counterclockwise. Adjust regulator
via the set screw on the front
between 75 PSI. And check for
leaks.
13. Pull open the still water and
sparkling water faucets to run
water through the system. You will
need to run the sparkling water
faucet for several minutes to cycle
the carbonation system before full
sparkling water will dispense.
14. Once unit has built the ice bank
you are ready to dispense chilled
still and sparkling water. Adjust
the flow control handles on the
faucets for your preferred flow
rate.

Connecting CO2 and
Filling Water Bath
Step 1: The hose for the CO2 connection is 6’ long, 1/4” braided hose with a 1/4”
flare nut on the end extending out from the chiller near the water inlet. Route
this hose to the location of the CO2 tank. If additional hose is required, the UCM
Install Kit comes with an additional 8’ of 1/4” braided hose*, a 1/4” barb union
and 10.5 oetiker clamps to extend it.
*WARNING: Do not use this extra 1/4” braided hose with John Guest fittings for
the water inlet or water filter connection, it is not the correct OD or tube type to
work with these fittings and will result in leaks.
If using dedicate CO2 tank, locate the CR-PC160 primary high pressure CO2
regulator. Unbox it and be careful to locate the 1/4” nylon washer taped to the
packaging. Insert this washer into the flare nut on the end of the hose and thread
it on to the 1/4” mpt flare on the CO2 reg. Locate paper washer with CO2 tank
and thread CO2 reg to tank, making sure its tight.
For bulk CO2 tank use or shared CO2 systems, use the CR-S115
secondary high pressure CO2 regulator to regulate.
Step 2: Route the clear over flow water
bath drain hose from the back of the
unit to a floor sink or floor drain.
The water bath must be filled with
water for the system to work and build
an ice bank. This water is not used for
consumption, it is only used to form an
ice bank around the refrigeration coils
and chill the water flowing through the
water cooling coils. Water will drain
from the over flow hose upon initial
start up as the ice bank forms. Aer
that only periodic condensation may
drip from the over flow hose.
Remove the lid of the chiller to expose
the water bath area. Fill this area with
water (preferably non-filtered) up to
the white stand pipe, covering the carb
tank, water coils and refrigeration coils.

companies (both bulk and/or tank)
and welding supply companies.
On average, 1lb of CO2 will
be used for every 5 gallons of
sparkling water. A 20lb tank should
carbonate 100 gallons (12,800oz or
378 liters) of sparkling water.
WARNING: CO2 can be dangerous. CO2 cylinders contain high pressure
gas which can be hazardous if not handled properly. Follow all CO2
regulator instructors (found with CO2 regulator) and other handling
instructions from the CO2 tank supplier.

www.crysalli.com 510.732.0100
Daily:
☐ Wipe down the unit or dra tower, cleaning and
drying all surfaces. (Use window cleaner on
mirrored and chrome finishes).
☐ Clean and dry drain pan and drain grate. Check
that water is draining, pour warm water down
drain if necessary.
☐ Check over faucets for action and hand tighten
any loosened handles or nuts on them. A
wobling faucet indicates the faucet body is
loosening from the shank which can result in
a leak, faucet coming o or stripping the teeth.
Use a shank wrench to tighten the shank nut to
the faucet.
☐ Check flow from faucet, loosen, readjust, and
tighten flow control knob as needed.
☐ Check that flow, temperature and carbonation
of water poured from the unit are consistent to
average use.
Weekly:
☐ Clean the faucets by wiping them down. If there
is any scale or slime submerge them in cleaners/
sanitizer and use a brush on them.
☐ Check CO2 level at CO2 tank.
Monthly:
☐ Clean the air filter. Remove it to brush down and
wash o dust and dirt, then reattach.
☐ Check for good water pressure at the water filter
system by running water from flush valve on
filter.
☐ Visually check pre-filter in clear bowl on water
filter system (if applicable) to determine if it
needs replacing. Use only EPC5-10 replacement
pre-filter cartridge.
Quarterly:
☐ Check the water bath level, either top o or
drain, clean and refill.
Semianually:
☐ Change the water filters. Use only 4FC
replacement filter cartridges.
☐ Drain water bath, clean and refill with new water.
☐ Remove and disassemble faucets for cleaning
and inspection.
Annually:
☐ Inspect internal water bath components such as
agitator/re-circ pump and blade, check valves
for CO2 and water, and all hose connections.
☐ Flush and rinse system with food safe sanitizer
(this work should be performed by a certified
