Start Up can only begin after the following:
• Pump switch is in o position
• Electrical outlet near unit is active.
• City water is active.
• Drain can be used.
• POU (Points Of Use) are connected and labeled.
• Valves are to be left in o position during start up.
• All remaining connections are completed.
The Easy Series system unit POU delivery manifold is shipped in two pieces and the JG ball valves are in the o position. Remember,
turn all POU valves in the o position.
STEPS:
1. Turn city feed water on slowly. Verify the incoming gauge pressure is at least 40 psi and not above 90 psi. Check for leaks at
connections.
Note: lter out will still read zero.
2. Flushing requirement: each easy series system is fully tested at the factory prior to shipping, however the ro membranes
require ushing prior to placing the unit into service. All R.O. Membranes require a 24 hour ush prior to placing the unit into
service. Run the 1/4” black test port line tubing from behind the middle pre-lter over to the open drain and secure temporarily.
Now turn 3 way valve on top of unit to test mode position.
3. Plug in electrical cord: connect the electrical cord on easy series system to g outlet nearest the system unit. A solenoid
within the unit will now click open and the unit will begin to produce global water which will start to go down the drain through
the drain line and the test port line. Let unit drain for 24 hours.
Caution! Do not let the pump run without water in the storage tank. Pump damage will occur.
4. Turn test port lever on the top of unit to normal mode.
5. Now move the 3 way valve to normal position out of test mode and put back 1/4” black test port tube behind the middle pre-
lter. See picture on page one. Unit will now begin to ll the storage tank.
6. As the system unit is lling, turn the black blending valve on the face plate slightly counterclockwise and turn on tds meter by
pushing the on/o button to the right of the meter. Tds should read between 80 - 110 ppm and adjust accordingly. The tank
will hold 18 gallons of water. Adjustment may take up to one hour. Turn o tds meter when it reaches adjustment.
7. Once the drain line has stopped running (roughly less than two hours) turn on the pump switch (front faceplate) on the system
unit; system pressure gauge will now read around 60 psi. This provides water to all points of use (pou). Check all connections
and open shut o valves on pou manifold.
8. Check for leaks and repair if necessary.
9. The easy series system is now in normal operation.
10. CALL 805.484.1589 or E-MAIL, [e-mail] to validate your warranty.
PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS VARY
Performance should be checked at periodic maintenance intervals by authorized technician. Minimum 500 gpd is based on incom-
ing water temperature of 77ºF and 70 psi incoming pressure. Where temperature and pressure vary from this, actual production
will vary as well. (See chart below.)

Water conditions may require more frequent lter cartridge replacement.
Filter service is to be performed every 3-4 months and membrane service is to be performed 18-24 months using
only Global lters and/or parts. It is the responsibility of store operator to arrange service appointments or ser-
vice the equipment to maintain warranty.
1. Turn ball valve o on water line going to city in by turning blue lever 90º degrees.
2. Turn green pump ON/OFF switch on front panel to o position, light will turn o. Filter in, lter out and system
pressure gauges should go down to zero, if not run water at water tower to release water pressure.
3. Remove old lters by turning to the left and then by pulling down. The lters have a tight t so when removing
also wiggle the lter.
4. Discard all lters in waste receptacle; recycling of lters is also available by returning them to global.
5. Remove blue cap on new lter and line up notches on lter to match placement on head, push up snugly and
turn to the right to lock. Repeat for all other lters you are installing.
6. Turn the ball valve on water line going to city in by turning blue lever 90º deg.
7. Check lter in gauge, it should go back up to 60+ psi.
8. Check lter out gauge, it should read similar to lter in gauge.
9. Turn Pump ON/OFF switch to on position, the switch will light up. System pressure gauge should go up to 60 psi.
10. Verify that there are no leaks. Filter change is now complete.
In some emergency situations it will be necessary to put the unit into bypass mode so that you will still be able to
supply water to the points of use (brewer, espresso, etc.) Emergency situations which require putting the bypass
handle into the bypass position are:
• System pressure gauge reads below 35 for an extended period of time.
• If a severe leak, or unusual noise, such as the pump motor, is noticed. See Troubleshooting Guide.
Put the Easy System into bypass by:
1. Turn the yellow handle located on the front panel counter-clockwise towards bypass.
2. The valve that is going from the water out to the ice machine will need to be turned 180º. Match with picture below.
Note: Tank will not rell while in bypass. System pressure will read zero psi.

To check the production rate of the Easy System perform the following steps:
ITEMS NEEDED:
A production check can only occur when the Easy System is lling the storage tank after the blending valve has
been calibrated.
1. Check the lter out gauge. If gauge is reading similar to lter in gauge then the easy system is in a ll mode. If
lter out gauge is reading zero then run water out of the easy system through the drinking water tap line until
lter out gauge goes up.
2. Locate 1⁄4” black tube next to delivery pump and run this line into a bucket or nearby drain.
3. Turn yellow lever on top (not front) of Easy System from normal mode to test mode. (Note: water should
immediately start to ow out of black 1⁄4” tube)
4. Place the black tube into the 500 ml graduated cylinder for 15 seconds.
5. Note amount of water in graduated cylinder and use the calculation method below for gallons per day (GPD):
Multiply by 4; then multiply by 60; then multiply by 24; and then divide by 3785 = ____ gallons per day.
6. When your calibration is completed, return the black tube to underneath the middle lter, tucked away neatly.
Calibration can only occur when the storage tank is lling. The blending valve is factory set closed and will need
calibration at the location of install. To adjust the TDS on the Easy Series complete the following steps:
1. Check the lter out gauge. If gauge is reading similar to lter in gauge then the system is in ll mode. If gauge
is reading zero then a run a few gallons of water out of the system through the drinking water tap line until lter
out gauge goes up.
2. Now push on/o button on TDS meter and check reading.
3. To increase TDS reading turn blending valve (located on front of unit) counter-clockwise, to decrease reading
turn valve clockwise.
4. Continue until desired reading is achieved. Calibration is now complete.
Note: TDS Meter monitor may read higher ppm than a hand held TDS meter and blending needs to be adjusted to
attain desired blending levels.

PRESSURE GAUGE CHECKS:
Pressure readings are the best indicator of normal or not-normal operation of system. The gauges for the Easy
Series are located on the front of the system.
Filter in gauge displays the incoming water pressure from the city supply. 65 - 75 psi is normal operating pressure.
Filter in gauge displays the water pressure after the two pre-lters feeding the membrane. No more than 20 psi
dierential when system is operating.
When the system is lling the tank, the lter out gauge reading of more than 20 psi lower than the lter in gauge
means one or more of the pre-lter cartridges are clogged and needs to be replaced, see Troubleshooting Guide.
System pressure gauge is an indication of the water pressure being delivered to Points of Use (POU). If this reading
is below 35 psi, it is not normal. Issues which cause low system pressure could be caused by a lack of power, a
problem with the pump or an issue prior to the system itself; refer to Troubleshooting Guide.
WATER QUALITY CHECK:
If the TDS Level exceeds 125 ppm, it may mean that the membranes need to be changed.
If TDS display does not turn on when the button is pushed, the batteries need replacing. (Battery replacement: 2
x 357A button cell batteries.)
Remember to turn o TDS meter when nished.
CHECK THE BYPASS HANDLE POSITION:
Keep the yellow bypass handle in the o position at all times unless otherwise instructed by the Troubleshooting
Guide. Please contact your service provider when bypass handle is moved into bypass.
Emergency situations which require putting the bypass handle into the bypass position, turning the bypass handle
(yellow handle) to point towards the word bypass, are:
1. System pressure gauge reads below 35 for an extended period of time.
2. If a severe leak or unusual noise, such as the pump motor, is noticed. See Troubleshooting Guide.
CHECK THE PUMP ON/OFF SWITCH:
The green pump switch light will be lit when in the on position. Light turns o when switch is turned o.
NOT ALL WATER TROUBLE means there is a problem with the Easy Series System. It could be the building’s
electrical circuit failure, uctuating city water pressure, recent plumbing changes to building or store volume and
increased usage, all may be the source of the problem.
If there is no water going to POU (espresso or brewer), this is a sure sign that the problem is not with the Easy
Series System. You must always check the Water Tower and see if it is stuck open or leaking which will use up
water capacity. Even a slight drip is enough to over use the system.
Do not place the Easy System into “EMERGENCY BYPASS MODE” without informing the Store
Management immediately.
