INSTALLATION, CARE & USE MANUAL
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.
INSTALLER
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 ttings provided by the installer should be made of plastic which will electronically isolate
the fountain from the remainder of the building’s plumbing circuits.

1. Install chiller: Remove front panel of chiller. Remove
and discard cardboard inner pack from between
compressor and side panel. Slide chiller onto the
shelf and position it to the left as per dimensions in
Figure 1.
Note: Building construction must allow for
adequate air ow on both sides, top and
back of chiller. A minimum of 4” (102mm) on
both sides and top is required. See chiller
installation for additional instructions.
2. Make water supply connections. Install a shut-off valve
and union connection to building water supply (valve and
union not provided). Turn on water supply and ush the
line thoroughly.
3. ERPB Models: Make connection between remote chiller
and building supply line. Inlet port is marked on the chiller
(1/4” O.D. copper tube). Bend the copper tube (provided)
at an appropriate length from chiller to opening in frame.
Install the in-line strainer (provided with chiller) by pushing
it until it reaches a positive stop, approximately 3/4” (19mm)
on the marked chiller inlet port. Connect building supply
line to strainer. (See Figure 3)
Caution: DO NOT SOLDER tubes inserted
into the strainer as damage to
o-rings may result.
4. LRPB Models: Mount lter head assembly to side of
chiller (See Figure 4). Make connections between lter
and building supply line (3/8” O.D. tube not povided).
Inlet port is marked on the chiller (1/4” O. D. copper tube).
Install a 1/4” x 1/4” union (provided) on the marked chiller
inlet port. Insert the 1/4” poly tubing (provided) into the
tting on lter and connect the union to the chiller.
(See Figure 4)
Caution: DO NOT SOLDER tubes inserted
into the strainer as damage to
o-rings may result.

Figure 7 - Lower Panel Installation
5. Hang the upper panel on the mounting frame hanger. Be
sure that the panel is engaged with hanger at the top of
frame before releasing it. Align holes in the panel with holes
in the mounting frame. Install two (2) #10-24 x 5/8” (16mm)
screws (Item 11 - Figure 5) in holes and tighten securely.
6. Install the fountain. Remove the screw (Item 12) from cover
plate (Item 16) and slide cover plate toward basin. Mount
the fountain to the upper panel and frame with (4) 5/16” x 1”
(25mm) long bolts (Item 27), bracket (Item 9) and nuts
(Item 8) provided. Tighten securely. Brackets (Item 9)
must be installed as shown to properly support
fountain. (See Figure 6)
7. Attach waste tube (1-1/4” O.D.) to 1-1/4” O.D. slip
trap (provided by others).
8. ERPB Models: Make connections between remote chiller
outlet tube and fountain. Outlet port is marked on the
chiller (1/4” O.D. copper tube). Install a 1/4” x 1/4” union
(provided) on the marked chiller outlet port. Insert the 1/4”
poly tubing coming from the fountain into the union. Turn
on the water supply and check for leaks.
CAUTION: DO NOT SOLDER tubes inserted
into the strainer as damage to
o-rings may result.
LRPB Models: Make connections between remote chiller
outlet tube and fountain. Outlet port is marked on the
chiller (1/4” O.D. copper tube). Install a 1/4” x 1/4” union
(provided) on the marked chiller outlet port. Insert the 1/4”
poly tubing coming from the fountain into the union.
CAUTION: DO NOT SOLDER tubes inserted
into the strainer as damage to
o-rings may result.
9. 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.
10. Make electrical connections to the chiller. See
chiller instructions.
11. Check stream height from bubbler. Stream height is
factory set at 35 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly from
this, remove push button (Item 3 - Figure 11) and adjust
the screw on the regulator (Item 4 - Figure 11). To remove
push button, remove set screw from bottom of sleeve
(Item 6). Insert a small punch in screw hole and push up
while grasping the push buttom and pull forward removing
the push button. Clockwise 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 push button by pushing in on
button until the push button catches in the sleeve. Reinstall
the setscrew (Item 6) in the sleeve (Item 17).
12. Mount lower panel. Loosen the two (2) #10-24 x 5/8”
(16mm) screws (Item 11 - Figure 6) at frame bottom lip. Slide
upper tongue of lower panel under lower edge of already
installed upper panel. Tighten previously loosened screws
securely. (See Figure 7)

PARTS LIST
ITEM NO. PART NO. DESCRIPTION
TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE
Orice Assembly: Mineral deposits on
orice can cause water ow to spurt or not
regulate. Mineral deposits may be removed
from the orice by poking with a small round
le not over 1/8” diameter, or using a small
diameter wire.
DO NOT le or cut orice
material.
Stream Regulator: If orice is clean,
regulate ow as in Step 11 of the installation
instructions. If replacement is necessary, see
parts list for correct regulator part number.
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 tting, relieve water
pressure, push in on the gray collar while
pulling on the tubing. (See Figure 13) To
insert tubing, push tube straight into tting
until it reaches a positive stop approximately
3/4”).
