HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
The 5000 Series Bottled Water System by Flojet is designed to pump puried water from commercially available
5-gallon puried water bottles. The system will deliver the water under pressure to an individual drinking water
faucet, the water inlet of a refrigerator for the icemaker and chilled drinking water tap, to a faucet in portable sinks
and to certain personal use and commercial use coffee / tea brewers / espresso machines.
When the suction wand is inserted into the standard 5-gallon bottle, it will activate the oat switch
on the end of the wand and turn on the pump. This same oat switch shuts off the system when the
bottle is empty. The wand has a built in back-ow preventor valve that prevents water in the system
from owing back into the bottle, or spilling while changing bottles.
The heart of the system is the main module that automatically lls an appliance or
dispenses water through a faucet when there is demand.
The system is equipped with an automatic thermal cut-off device for additional
protection.

PLUMBING INSTALLATION
PLUMBING
The Bottled Water Dispensing System may
also be placed in a pantry, closet, cellar or
other location where a grounded electrical
outlet is available.
Insert suction hose port
tting into pump module
“IN” port and slide locking
port clip in place.
Insert DC plug/connector into pump module “DC IN” port.
The connections for the oat and power supply will require
moderate force to insert fully. This is a design feature
that assures the connections are held securely after initial
installation. MAKE SURE PLUG / CONNECTOR IS INSERTED
ALL THE WAY INTO THE CONNECTIONS. FAILURE TO
INSERT FULLY WILL LEAD TO POOR OPERATION OR NO
OPERATION.
To install tube into
“OUT” port. Push
1/4” discharge
tubing all the way
into quick
connect port
(as far as it will go)
To remove tube from “OUT” port:
1. Push tube all the way in
2. Hold gray ring against black
port with nger or at tool
3. Pull tube out
Push clip up to lock
Insert oat sensor switch plug/connector into pump
module “SWITCH” port.

Select a cabinet large enough to accommodate the 5 gallon (19L) bottle and suction wand assembly. Place the
pump module on the oor of the cabinet with on/off switch and suction tube facing out toward the cabinet doors.
Position as close as possible to a
grounded electrical outlet and
place the ve gallon bottle close to
the pump module without kinking the
suction hose.

PLUMBING
There is 20 ft. (6.1 m) of 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) O.D. polyethylene tubing supplied with the FLOJET Bottled Water Dispensing
System. Carefully measure the distance between the pump module outlet and the appliance water inlet or optional
faucet, and cut the tubing clean and square to prevent tting leaks. If the refrigerator and faucet are being connected,
use 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) tube “T” tting and place it in an accessible location. Push the cleanly cut tubing end into the pump
module outlet port, past the o-ring to tube stop. Route tubing to the refrigerator water valve and connect it to the water
inlet valve in the back of the refrigerator by using the tube connector tting. First slip nut over the tube, then place the
ferrule over the tube, then install onto the refrigerator water valve tting and tighten.
For installation and use with commercial coffee and tea brewing equipment:
Many commercial coffee and tea brewing machines can be connected to a water supply line. Ensure that you have a 1/4
in. (6.35 mm) I.D. connection tting at the water inlet that can accept the supplied 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) O.D. tubing. These
brewing machines have a factory installed device that restricts incoming water to a safe pressure that won’t damage the
brewing machine. This device is usually referred to as an inlet pressure regulator or ow restrictor. If you intend to use the
Flojet BW system with one of these brewing machines, you should remove the brewing machine’s inlet restrictor device.
Consult the brewing machine manufacturer for details. Failure to remove the brewing machine’s restrictor may cause
the Flojet BW series pump to cycle itself off and on repeatedly, leading to premature motor failure of the Flojet BW unit.
This type of failure is not covered under warranty. Use of lter devices with your commercial brewer is unnecessary; see
below
For installation on refrigerators with ice making and/or water dispensing functions:
Do not use any external ltration devices. These will cause the pump to over-cycle, possibly causing premature pump
failure, not covered under warranty. If your refrigerator has factory installed internal ltration that must remain in place
as part of the water line, this too may cause over-cycling resulting in pump failure. Contact the refrigerator maker
and inquire about obtaining an empty or dummy lter housing for use instead of the standard lter model. If none is
available, the use of a small accumulator tank will be necessary. You may order Flojet P/N 30573002B, tank, and P/N
20381-064, tting kit. Please contact Flojet for more information.

Before the Bottled Water Dispensing System is put into service,
the system should be sanitized by following the maintenance
and sanitation clean in-place procedure.
1. Connect Power Adapter to suitable AC Power Outlet. and
connect low voltage connector to “DC IN” port on main unit.
2. Power Switch “ON”.
3. Follow manufacturer’s plumbing and operating instructions
when connecting commercial coffee and Tea Brewers and
refrigerators / Ice makers.
4. BLEED AIR FROM SYSTEM: Turn pump switch “ON”. Water
will begin to ow. Operate the system for 30 seconds to 1
minute into a 2-1/2 gallon pail. When the air is successfully
purged from the system, a steady laminar ow of water will
stream out the end of the hose.
NOTE: Air Bleed required only on start up. Changing bottles will not require air bleed.
SYSTEM START-UP
SUCTION WAND REMOVAL AND
CHANGING BOTTLES
Before removing suction wand from empty bottle, move
bottle to an open area outside of cabinet. Put new bottle
next to empty bottle, clean neck and cap area with
detergent, and remove cap. Remove suction wand from
empty bottle by lifting wand cap with a rocking motion
and pull cap off bottle, sliding suction wand out of the
bottle and place directly into new bottle while sliding cap
over new bottle neck.
SUCTION WAND INSTALLATION
SANITIZE BOTTLED WATER SYSTEM AND WAND BEFORE INSERTING WAND INTO BOTTLE. To install the suction wand
into standard 5 gallon bottle, place bottle close to system and remove bottle cap, then install suction wand into bottle.
(Note: If bottle is over lled, dispense enough water to allow the suction wand to be installed to the bottom of the bottle).
Push suction wand bottle cap over bottle and push wand to bottom center of bottle.
Do not place suction wand on oor, counter, or sink as
this could contaminate the suction wand assembly. If
bottle is over lled, dispense enough water to allow the
suction wand to be pushed to bottom of bottle.
