IMPORTANT
This fixture is intended to dispense water that has been lowered in temperature, but otherwise remains
unchanged by the materials in the water cooler. It is common for electrical equipment to be grounded
to water lines either within a structure or away from it. Every attempt should be made to prevent this
kind of grounding from generating electrical feedback into the water cooler creating electrolysis.
Electrolysis will cause a metallic taste or cause water metal content to increase.
NOTICE
A dielectric coupling must be used to connect the water cooler to the water supply. A nonmetallic
coupler is furnished with this water cooler to meet this requirement.
ROUGHING-IN AND DIMENSIONAL DRAWING

until purged out by incoming water. Covering the bubbler with a clean cup (or similar object) is recommended
when first activating drinking fountain to prevent excessive splashing.
3. Depress front pushbutton until steady water stream is achieved.
4. If water flow requires adjustment, insert a slotted narrow blade screwdriver in the hole centered on the underside
of the fixture in the knee clearance area up to the flow regulator. Turning clockwise will increase flow and turning
counterclockwise will decrease flow.
5. Recheck all water connections with water flowing through system.
6. With power still NOT connected, carefully manually rotate cooling fan to ensure proper clearance and free fan
action
7. Provide power to water chiller and make sure unit begins to function.
8. Assemble louvered bottom trim panel with screws provided to brackets on either side of wall mounting frame.
BOTTLE FILLER START UP:
1. Air within the bottle filler system or the structure supply piping will cause an irregular spout outlet stream until
purged out by incoming water. Press and hold pushbutton until steady water stream is achieved.
Ÿ SENSOR OPERATED: Hold container to be filled just below the sensor in the center of the filler spout and then
move the container upward and water flow will start automatically. When the container is almost filled, lower the

TO INSTALLATION.
2. Pull on the fitted tubing to ensure it is secure.
Tube should not come free from the fitting. Water
test the connection assembly prior to leaving the
site to ensure there are no leaks.
DISCONNECTING THE TUBE:
To disconnect the tube from the fitting ensure that
the water line is depressurized. Push collet square
towards the push-in fitting body and hold. While
holding the collet in, pull on the PE tubing to remove
from the push-in fitting.
TO CUT TUBE:
Cut to fit length of 1/4” PE tubing and remove any
burrs or sharp edges. Ensure that the outside
diameter is free from score marks. Tube ends
should be square.
INSERTING THE TUBE:
1. Firmly and fully insert the tubing end into the
push-in fitting up to the tube stop located
approximately ½” deep.

TROUBLE SHOOTING:
IMPORTANT: BEFORE MAKING ANY OF THE REPAIRS LISTED, MAKE SURE THE WATER CHILLER IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND THEWATER SUPPLY VALVE IS SHUT OFF.
1. ADJUSTMENTS:
a. Cartridge – The water flow can be adjusted using a slotted narrow blade screwdriver and turning
clockwise to increase flow and counterclockwise to decrease flow.
b. Cold Water Thermostat – The water temperature can be adjusted using a slotted screwdriver and turning
clockwise to make colder and counterclockwise to make warmer.
c. Bubbler Stream - Bubbler can be rotated slightly to direct the stream backwards or forwards. Adjust the
stream to minimize splashing. Splashing may occur from bubbler stream if the unit is not level. Shim lower
mounting point, if necessary, to level chiller.
2. COMPRESSOR DOES NOT RUN:
a. Check the electrical supply for power and correct voltage. The incoming voltage must be within 10% of
the rated voltage on the serial nameplate.
b. If the cold thermostat capillary bulb loses its charge or becomes kinked, it will fail in the open position
causing a disruption of power to the compressor. Disconnect electrical supply to the water chiller and
using an ohm meter check, for continuity across the two electrical terminals on the thermostat. Install a
new thermostat if there is no continuity.
c. Check for loose wires within the compressor box. The incoming power leads must be connected to the
overload and relay.
d. If all components check positive for continuity, then test the wiring harness plug for continuity to see if
there is a broken wire within the wiring harness insulation.
3. COMPRESSOR RUNS - WATER IS WARM:
a. The most common cause for a water chiller to run without producing cold water is a loss of refrigerant.
The water chiller must be taken to a certified refrigerant technician for repairs.
b. Make sure the condenser fan motor is operative. The fan blade must turn freely to help remove the heat
of compression.
c. An incorrect refrigerant charge, restriction or defective compressor (not pumping) will also cause the
compressor to run without producing cold water. All these signs indicate a problem within the refrigeration
system and the water chiller must be checked by an authorized service company.
4. COMPRESSOR CYCLING ON OVERLOAD PROTECTOR:
a. A dirty condenser or a blocked fan will cause a high head pressure and frequent cycling of the overload
protector.
b. Check the incoming voltage to make sure it is within 10% of the serial nameplate rating.
c. A restriction or moisture in the system will also cause intermittent cycling. A certified refrigeration
mechanic should be contacted in this situation.
d. Change the overload or relay if defective.
5. NOISY OPERATION:
a. Check to make sure the fan blade is rotating freely.
b. Check the compressor mounting to make sure the pins and clips are not rattling. If the compressor
appears to be noisy internally, it must be replaced.
6. RESTRICTED OR NO WATER FLOW:
a. Ensure water supply service stop valve is fully open.
b. Verify minimum 20 psig supply line flow pressure.
c. Check for twists or kinks in outlet tubing.
d. Check the water inlet “Y” strainer. Sediment from the main supply can get trapped in the screen along
with installation materials such as pipe dope and flux. The screen should be cleaned and checked on a
regular basis and replace if needed.
e. The cartridge valve located in the water control assembly or bubbler can also become clogged with
foreign material. The cartridge valve can only be replaced and not repaired.
f. Check flow adjustment. See start up note #3.
g. Flow control in solenoid valve outlet elbow clogged remove & clean.

h. The water chiller may also develop a freezing condition in which the water will become frozen inside the
evaporator coil. This indicates a refrigeration problem or thermostat failure; in which case, the water
chiller needs to be checked by a qualified technician.
I. No power to transformer connections, loose or wires cut.
7. WATER DRIPS OR WILL NOT SHUT OFF:
a. Open fixture. Loosen nuts holding valve bracket assembly to bottom of fixture but, do not remove. Move
complete valve bracket assembly further back from the front push pad and tighten to lock in place.
b. Replace valve cartridge.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
1. Motors have lifetime lubrication and do not require scheduled maintenance.
2. Excess dirt or poor ventilation will cause the compressor overload protector to turn the compressor off and it
will cycle on and off with no cold water coming out of bubbler. Periodically clean with vacuum cleaner, air
hose or brush the condenser fins and cabinet ventilation louvers. In environments where dirt and dust is
more prevalent, clean more frequently.
3. Periodically remove fountain top and clean out in-line strainer.
4. Periodically remove access panel of cooler and clean out inline “Y’’ strainer
For Stainless steel units:
1. To Remove water spots or rust spots, stainless steel cleaner/polish on a cloth is recommended.
2. If there are stubborn spots or if you wish to treat a scratch, using synthetic abrasive general
purpose pads, such as Scotch-Brite™, are recommended.
3. Apply stainless steel cleaner/ polish to the synthetic abrasive pads and carefully rub the panel with the grain.
4. DO NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasive or petroleum based cleaners. Use of these will void the Murdock
warranty.
5. Stainless steel should be kept clean at all times. If a coating of stainless steel cleaner/ polish is maintained,
stainless steel surfaces will retain their new, clean, polished appearance indefinitely.
