THE GROUNDING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT SUCHAS TELEPHONE, COMPUTERS, ETC. TOWATER
LINES IS A COMMON PROCEDURE. THIS GROUNDING MAY BE IN THE BUILDING OR MAY OCCURAWAY
FROM THE BUILDING. THIS GROUNDING CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL FEEDBACK INTO A FOUNTAIN,
CREATING AN ELECTROLYSIS WHICH CAUSES A METALLIC TASTE OR AN INCREASE IN THE METAL
CONTENT OF THE WATER. THIS CONDITION ISAVOIDABLE BY USING THE PROPER MATERIALS AS
INDICATED. ANY DRAIN FITTINGS PROVIDED BY THE INSTALLER SHOULD BE MADE OF PLASTIC TO
ELECTRICALLY ISOLATE THE FOUNTAIN FROM THE BUILDING PLUMBING SYSTEM.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove shipping brace from mounting box and discard.
2. Fasten mounting box into wall cutout using screws or bolts (provided by others) through the holes or knock
outs provided on each side of the mounting box. (See Fig. 1 or 2)
3. Install fountain body to mounting box using #10 x .63 (16mm) PHSM screws and large clips provided.
4. Place refrigeration package into mounting box and connect water lines. (See Page 5 for details)
5. Water inlet is 3/8" O.D. and waste tube is 1-1/4" O.D. Contractor is to supply waste trap and service stop
valve in accordance with local codes.
6. Connecting lines to be unplated copper and thoroughly flushed to remove all foreign matter before connecting
to refrigeration package. The furnished strainer (Item 18) should be added to the supply line.
7. Connect the refrigeration package to the supply line service stop valve. Connect supplied fountain (internal
plumbing) tubes as shown in figures 3, 4, 5, or 6. Remove any burrs from water tubes before inserting into
fittings. (See Figs. 13 and 14) DO NOT SOLDER TUBES INSERTED INTO THE STRAINER AS DAMAGE
TO THE O-RINGS MAY RESULT.
8. Electrical: Insure power supply is identical in voltage, hertz, and phase to that specified on the refrigeration
package serial plate. Never wire compressor directly to the power supply.
9. Turn water supply on and check thoroughly for leaks.
10. Release air from tank by depressing push button; a steady stream of water assures all air is removed.
11. Re-check for leaks.
12. Stream height is factory set at 35 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, turn adjustment screw on
regulator (Item 14). Clockwise adjustment will raise the stream height and counter-clockwise adjustment
will lower stream height. For best adjustment, stream should hit basin approximately 6-1/2" from the bubbler.
13. Rotate fan blade on refrigeration package to insure proper clearance and free fan action.
14. Connect power supply.
15. Install grill using #8 x 1.00" (25mm) PH screws and small clips provided.
TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Orifice Assy: Mineral deposits on orifice can cause water flow to spurt or not regulate. Mineral deposits
may be removed from orifice with a small round file not over 1/8 diameter or a small diameter wire.
CAUTION: Do not file or cut orifice materials.
2. Actuation of Quick Connect Water Fittings: Cooler is provided with lead-free connectors which utilize
an o-ring water seal. To remove tubing from the fitting, relieve water pressure, push in on the gray collar
while pulling on the tubing (See Fig. 13). To insert tubing, push tube straight into the fitting until it reaches
a positive stop, approximatley 3/4".
