Prior to roughing in, consult with local, state, and federal codes for proper mounting height.
This fixture is intended to dispense water that has been lowered in temperature, but otherwise remains
unchanged by the materials in the Bottle Filler. 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 Bottle Filler creating electrolysis. Electrolysis will cause a metallic
taste or cause water metal content to increase.

2. Connect the Sensor Wires to either the Solenoid Valve or -BCD Bottle Counter Display (if equipped).
Bottle Counting Function
The software applies a flow volume of approximately 16.9 fl oz (volume in standard size plastic water bottle) to
each bottle counted. If the flow volume is less than 16.9 fl oz, there will be no count but the volume will
accumulate, so that part way through the next cycle the total bottle count will change.
BF168 BOTTLE FILLER STARTUP:
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Position container to be filled directly in front of the Sensor and centered under the Filler Spout. Water flow starts
automatically. When the container is almost filled, remove container. The water will stop flowing.
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. Hold cup (or similar object) directly below Filler Spout is recommended when first
activating Bottle Filler to prevent excessive splashing. Activate sensor until steady water stream is achieved.
NOTE: PLUG-IN POWER IS A STANDARD FEATURE FOR BF168.

Surface Mounted Bottle Fillers
a. Ensure water supply service stop valve is fully open.
6. RESTRICTED OR NO WATER FLOW:
f. Flow control in solenoid valve outlet elbow clogged remove & clean.
h. No power to transformer connections, loose or wires cut.
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.
8. IF LIGHT WITHIN SENSOR DOES NOT FLASH ONCE WHEN USER IS WITHIN RANGE AND WATER DOES NOT FLOW:
9. IF LIGHT WITHIN SENSOR LENS FLASHES ONCE WHEN THE USER IS WITHIN RANGE:
b. There is debris or scale in the solenoid assembly. Remove solenoid, pull out plunger and spring. Clean with scale
remover solution.
a. Repair bad connection from sensor to solenoid.
g. The water Cooler 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.
c. Transformer polarity crossed. Replace transformer, sensor may be damaged and also need replacement.
e. Sensor is picking up a highly reflective surface. Eliminate cause of reflection and wait 30 seconds before checking.
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.
c. Check for twists or kinks in outlet tubing.
b. Replace defective transformer.
d. Sensor in “Security Mode” after 30 seconds of consistent detection. Remove source of detection and wait 30 seconds
before checking.
b. Verify minimum 20 psig supply line flow pressure.
a. Verify 120VAC input & 9VDC output transformer output 9VDC.
c. There is debris or scale in the center or two holes in convolution of the water diaphragm. Remove and clean.
c. Check for loose wires within the compressor box. The incoming power leads must be connected to the overload and
relay.
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. 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.
a. A dirty condenser or a blocked fan will cause a high head pressure and frequent cycling of the overload protector.
b. Make sure the condenser fan motor is operative. The fan blade must turn freely to help remove the heat of
compression.
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.
a. Check to make sure the fan blade is rotating freely.
2. 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. Check the incoming voltage to make sure it is within 10% of the serial nameplate rating.
4. COMPRESSOR CYCLING ON OVERLOAD PROTECTOR:
5. NOISY OPERATION:
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.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
IMPORTANT: BEFORE MAKING ANY OF THE REPAIRS LISTED, MAKE SURE THE WATER CHILLER IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND THE WATER SUPPLY VALVE IS SHUT OFF.
1. 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.
