The boiling tank lls to normal operating level, but the heating

element will not heat or bring water to a boil.

• If the heater reset is not popped or the fan is running and the boiling tank is full of

water, you may have a defective heating element.

• If water continues to ll the boiling tank aer draining the tank, and the fan isn’t op-

erating either, then you may have a defective outside boiling tank microswitch. Check

with a volt/ohm meter.

• Make sure the oat is operating correctly and not stuck at bottom of tank.

• Check all wiring connections on the control relay. Inspect for any burnt or damaged

wires on the relay. Check the relay with a volt/ohm meter.

The boiling tank overows with water.

• If the oat actuating arm is depressing the inside microswitch and the oat rod is

moving freely and oats accordingly with the water level, you may have a defective

microswitch. Check with a volt/ohm meter.

If the microswitch checks out ok, and the heating element and fan come on, then you

need to replace the relay. Check with a volt/ohm meter.

• If the microswitch and relay check out ok, then you may have a defective solenoid.

Turn the power switch to “OFF”. If water continues to ow into the boiling tank, then

you need to replace the solenoid.

• If the oat ball is heavy and has scale build-up, clean the boiling tank and, if neces-

sary, replace the oat.

• If the oat is not moving freely, you may need to install a new bushing and o-ring or

oat repair kit.

• If the oat ball is full of water, replace the oat ball.

Machine does not shut oﬀwhen storage tank is full.

• Check that the Storage Tank 3 pin wire harness is properly connected.

• Connect the 3 storage tank probes together. If the unit does not shut down, then

replace the level control circuit board.

The unit runs a short time and the heater reset pops.

Note: If the reset is popped, use the eraser end of a pencil to reset it.

• If the boiling tank water level is below the heating element, the oat may be sticking

and you may need to adjust the oat or install a new bushing and o-ring or oat repair

kit.

• If the unit starts up aer it is cooled, you may have a faulty reset.

How Your Distiller Works

The Pure Water AquaNui is designed to produce high purity distilled water. There are

three production levels depending on the model that was ordered:

1000 Watt Heating Element .........................................approximately 8 gallons per day.

1200 Watt Heating Element .......................................approximately 10 gallons per day.

1500 Watt Heating Element .......................................approximately 12 gallons per day.

The Pure Water AquaNui is a fully automatic unit. The water level in the boiling tank

is controlled by a oat and microswitches and the storage tank is controlled by level

sensing probes.

The boiling tank operates on a modied batch approach. Feedwater is automatically

added until a high level is reached and this triggers the heating element and fan to

operate. This begins the distillation cycle.

As the unit distills, the water level in the boiling tank falls. When the water level gets

close to the heating element, the low-level microswitch is triggered, causing feedwa-

ter to be added until the high level is reached. If, for some reason, no water enters the

boiling tank when needed, the fan and heating element will turn oﬀuntil the condition

is corrected.

Once the storage tank is full of distilled water, the unit will automatically shut down.

The AquaNui will begin distilling again once the water level in the storage tank drops

by approximately 1.5 Gallons. It continues to operate until the storage tank is full

again.

There are various storage tank options available. The standard sizes are 5 gallon ca-

pacity, 10 gallon capacity and 15 gallon capacity. Other specialty tanks are available.

If additional storage is desired then additional tanks can be added to increase the

total storage amount.

The distilled drinking water is drawn from the storage tank through a faucet on the

front of the tank or through the optional pump.

The AquaNui is equipped with a manual drain valve, which allows the residue from the

boiling tank to be drained periodically.

Installation

Things to consider when installing your Pure Water AquaNui :

•Select an area that will allow the distiller to remain level. (The feet are adjust-

able to help level the unit.) Improper leveling could aﬀect the production rate.

•The distiller must be located in close proximity to a water supply and an ap-

propriate electrical supply source. The distiller should also be located in a well

ventilated room.

•Electrical requirements: Isolated 115 VAC, 15 amp circuit (220 VAC, 7.5 amp).

Check the electrical rating on the label

on the rear of the distiller.

CAUTION: The Pure Water AquaNui is a heavy

system. Please use caution when removing it

from the carton to prevent injury.

Storage Tank and Optional Pump:

1. Remove the storage tank from the packag-

ing.

2. Place the unit in the desired location.

3. Slide a leg onto the storage tank from the

bottom.

Each leg is held on by 4 nuts on the bottom

of the storage tank, and 2 cap nuts on the

side of the tank.

4. Screw in the adjustable feet.

5. Install the faucet with the gasket.

6. Optional Pump Installation:

a. If you have the optional pump, install it at this time. It is designed so that the

end with the ttings extends to the rear of the storage tank. See diagram.

b. Push the pump onto the 4 studs on the bottom of the storage tank. Secure the

pump by installing the 4 washers and 4 locking nuts.

c. Install the ttings on the inlet and outlet of the pump.

d. Remove the plug from the storage tank outlet. Install the elbow in the tting.

e. Cut 18” of 3/8” tubing and install it between the storage tank outlet elbow and

the pump inlet elbow. The tubing should be positioned so that it loops below the

pump.

Special Feature

The AquaNui is designed

with a removable boiling

chamber. It can be

removed for cleaning or

servicing.

Troubleshooting

The machine will not operate at all.

Note: The water level in the storage tank must be below 3/4 full before the distiller will start.

• Make sure the power cord is plugged into the wall outlet and inserted fully into the

“Power Cord Plug” outlet. Make sure the outlet is working properly.

• Make sure the power switch is ON. Note: The power switch has a light to indicate that

power is on to the unit. If the switch is ON and the power switch light is not luminated,

the ON/OFF switch may be defective and needs to be replaced.

• If the power light is luminated, check to see if the heater reset on the back of the unit

has popped. If it has, press the reset button with the eraser end of a pencil.

• Make sure the incoming water supply is turned on and is owing into the boiling tank.

• Check all wiring connections on the control relay. Ensure you have voltage to the relay

using a volt/ohm meter.

The boiling tank will not ll with water automatically.

Note: Make sure the saddle tapping valve or utility hook-up valve is turned ON to supply the

feed water.

Note: The water level in the storage tank must be below 3/4 full before the distiller will start.

• If the oat ball inside the boiling tank is resting against the heat tab and is fully

depressing the low level (top) microswitch, you probably need to replace the micro-

switch. Check with a volt/ohm meter.

• If the microswitch checks out ok, and the heating element and fan come on, then you

may need to replace the relay. Another indication of a bad relay is the heater reset will

likely be popped.

• If the oat inside the boiling tank is not moving freely, install a new oat repair kit,

with bushing and o-ring.

The unit boils the water, but the fan is not working.

• Make sure the fan switch is set to “ON”.

• The fan switch may be defective. Check with a volt-ohm meter.

• The fan motor may be defective. Check with a volt-ohm meter.

The fan will not operate or is making excessive noise.

• Make sure the fan switch is in the ON position. If so, then you may have a defective

switch. Check with a volt/ohm meter.

f. Once the storage tank and distiller are

completely connected and installed, connect

3/8” tubing to the outlet of the pump and

run the tubing to the desired location.

Note: Do not plug the pump into the wall

outlet until the storage tank is full of water.

If you drain the water down, unplug the

pump so that it does not run dry.

7. Place the storage tank upright on the oor.

Adjust the feet so that the unit is level.

8. Center the storage tank gasket over the hole

in the top of the tank. This gasket will seal

the tank to the bottom of the distiller.

Unpacking and Installing the

AquaNui Distiller:

Installing the distiller consists of a couple

of steps. First, the distiller and storage tank need to be connected for the distilled

water, as well as the wire harness for the oats in the storage tank. Second, the fan

blades were secured for shipment, and must be released before the distiller is usesd.

1. Remove the distiller from the packaging. Use a phillips screwdriver to remove the

back panel.

2. Disconnect the water inlet and

steam tubes to the boiling tank.

3. Disconnect the two plastic parts

of the Boiling Tank 5 Wire Har-

ness electrical connection to the

boiling tank.

4. Remove the boiling tank.

5. Place the distiller onto the stor-

age tank with the AN embossing

on the same side as the faucet on

the storage tank. Make sure that

the wires and connectors for the

probes in the storage tank come

through the hole in the distiller

bottom pan.

Pump Installation Diagram

8. If needed, use a wet/dry vacuum to remove any remaining debris from the tank.

9. Rinse the inside of the tank with fresh water.

10. Reinstall the boiling tank and turn the power ON.

Tank Sterilizing

Steam Sterilization is a method of disinfecting your storage tank. The storage tank

must be empty before starting. To sterilize the storage tank:

1. If you use the optional pump: Unplug the pump cord from the wall outlet.

2. Use the storage tank faucet to completely drain the storage tank.

3. Make sure the main power switch is ON.

2. Place a cup or small bucket under the storage tank faucet, open faucet.

3. Turn the fan switch to OFF. This will start a “Steam Sterilization” cycle. Steam will

now be produced in the boiling tank. The steam will pass through the coil, but not

be cooled. The steam will heat up and sterilize the storage tank. Allow the distiller

to run for 30-45 minutes.

4. Turn the fan switch to ON.

5. Close the faucet on the storage tank.

6. Allow the unit to ll the storage tank and shut oﬀ.

for your supply line.

CAUTION: DO NOT turn the saddle

tapping valve handle before or during

installation. Be sure the piercing lance

does not protrude beyond the rubber

gasket. Failure to do this may result in

damage to the piercing needle.

Note: The use of soened water for the raw water supply is recommended to

minimize scale build-up in the boiling tank and drain valve.

Note: The Pure Water AquaNui comes standard with a saddle tapping valve.

In some areas a saddle tapping valve may not be permitted. In such instances,

contact your authorized AquaNui Sales Associate, Pure & Secure, or go to www.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Overall Maintenance Requirements

The following guide should be used for the maintenance of your distiller. The

timing will vary according to your local water conditions. It is your responsibility

to maintain your equipment. Without proper maintenance, your distiller may not

produce optimum results. The following is an average guide to maintenance:

Cleaning the Exterior

Use Stainless Steel Polish & Cleaner (stock #6606). It is available online at www.

MyAquaNui.com.

Draining the Boiling Tank

The AquaNui has a manual drain valve that discards the contaminants and residue

out of the boiling tank when opened. This minimizes the build-up of scale in the

boiling tank.

3. Connect the 5” piece of tubing to the outlet of the Carbon Filter.

4. Connect the remaining 1/4” tubing to the saddle tapping valve.

3. Connect the 1/4” tubing from the saddle tapping valve to the inlet of the carbon

lter.

4. Rinse the carbon lter:

a. Hold the outlet end of the carbon lter over a drain or bucket.

b. Turn the water on at the saddle-tapping valve.

c. Cycle the water on and oﬀuntil the water exiting the carbon lter is clear.

d. Turn the water supply oﬀat the saddle-tapping valve.

5. Install 1/4” tubing from the carbon lter outlet to the solenoid valve inlet on the

back of the distiller.

6. Turn the water supply on at the saddle-tapping valve.

Connecting the Power Cord

Note: On some 240V units, the power cord may be sold separately and is not included in

the parts kit bag.

1. Ensure the Power Switch is turned to the OFF position.

2. Locate the power cord in the parts kit bag. Install the female end of the power cord

into the outlet on the back of the unit.

Start-Up

Notes and Cautions:

Note: This system must be fully grounded at all times. The electrical receptacle

you use must be a fully grounded, single phase, AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp (220 VAC,

7.5 amp) minimum circuit. If a two-pronged wall receptacle is encountered, it is the

personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualied elec-

trician and have it replaced with a properly grounded three-pronged wall recep-

tacle or have a grounding adaptor properly grounded. If an extension cord must be

used, it should be a 3-wire, 15-amp minimum cord.

CAUTION: Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round ground-

ing prong from the electrical plug.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Overall Maintenance Requirements

The following guide should be used for the maintenance of your distiller. The

timing will vary according to your local water conditions. It is your responsibility

to maintain your equipment. Without proper maintenance, your distiller may not

produce optimum results. The following is an average guide to maintenance:

Cleaning the Exterior

Use Stainless Steel Polish & Cleaner (stock #6606). It is available online at www.

MyAquaNui.com.

Draining the Boiling Tank

The AquaNui has a manual drain valve that discards the contaminants and residue

out of the boiling tank when opened. This minimizes the build-up of scale in the

boiling tank.

3. Connect the 5” piece of tubing to the outlet of the Carbon Filter.

4. Connect the remaining 1/4” tubing to the saddle tapping valve.

3. Connect the 1/4” tubing from the saddle tapping valve to the inlet of the carbon

lter.

4. Rinse the carbon lter:

a. Hold the outlet end of the carbon lter over a drain or bucket.

b. Turn the water on at the saddle-tapping valve.

c. Cycle the water on and oﬀuntil the water exiting the carbon lter is clear.

d. Turn the water supply oﬀat the saddle-tapping valve.

5. Install 1/4” tubing from the carbon lter outlet to the solenoid valve inlet on the

back of the distiller.

6. Turn the water supply on at the saddle-tapping valve.

Connecting the Power Cord

Note: On some 240V units, the power cord may be sold separately and is not included in

the parts kit bag.

1. Ensure the Power Switch is turned to the OFF position.

2. Locate the power cord in the parts kit bag. Install the female end of the power cord

into the outlet on the back of the unit.

Start-Up

Notes and Cautions:

Note: This system must be fully grounded at all times. The electrical receptacle

you use must be a fully grounded, single phase, AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp (220 VAC,

7.5 amp) minimum circuit. If a two-pronged wall receptacle is encountered, it is the

personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualied elec-

trician and have it replaced with a properly grounded three-pronged wall recep-

tacle or have a grounding adaptor properly grounded. If an extension cord must be

used, it should be a 3-wire, 15-amp minimum cord.

CAUTION: Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round ground-

ing prong from the electrical plug.

Your unit now has:

• A raw waterline connected and turned on.

• A VOC prelter installed

• A complete boiling tank with both water and electrical connections.

• The storage tank faucet is installed.

•Optional Pump: Should not be plugged in until the storage tank is full.

Every 2 Weeks:

Cleaning the Boiling Tank

Notes and Cautions:

Caution: Under no circumstances should the cleaning solution be heated and

run through a steam sterilization or distillation cycle.

Note: Failure to clean the boiling tank can result in scale build-up causing prema-

ture heating element failure, as well as reduced purity of the distilled water due to

the possibilities of splash over of contaminants from the boiling tank.

To clean the boiling tank:

1. Turn the Power Switch to OFF. If needed, allow the unit to cool.

2. Drain the boiling tank (see instructions above).

3. Remove the back panel of the distillation unit.

4. Disconnect the boiling tank wire harness, inlet tube, and steam tube. Remove the

boiling tank.

5. Manually ll the boiling tank until the scale is covered by water.

6. Add 2 Tablespoons of Lumen® descaler to the boiling tank. Allow to sit overnight.

7. Drain all of the water from the boiling tank.

6. Install the nuts onto the 4 positioning studs on the storage tank. Tighten to con-

nect the storage tank and distiller together.

7. Remove the boiling tank lid. Remove

the wire tie that is holds the oat dur-

ing shipping. Replace the boiling tank

lid.

8. Connect the Distillate Tube (silicone

tubing from the condensing coil outlet)

to the storage tank inlet tube. Use the

metal clamp to secure the connection.

9. Connect the 3 pin connectors together. This will allow the distiller to read the

probes in the storage tank.

10. Install the boiling tank into the distiller.

11. Connect the Steam Tube.

12. Connect the Water Inlet tubing and tting.

13. Connect the Boiling Tank 5 Pin Harness.

14. Place the back panel onto the distiller and secure with the 4 screws.

Connecting the Raw Waterline:

CAUTION: DO NOT use a hot water line

for your supply line.

CAUTION: DO NOT turn the saddle

tapping valve handle before or during

installation. Be sure the piercing lance

does not protrude beyond the rubber

gasket. Failure to do this may result in

damage to the piercing needle.

Note: The use of soened water for the raw water supply is recommended to

minimize scale build-up in the boiling tank and drain valve.

Note: The Pure Water AquaNui comes standard with a saddle tapping valve.

In some areas a saddle tapping valve may not be permitted. In such instances,

contact your authorized AquaNui Sales Associate, Pure & Secure, or go to www.

myaquanui.com for other water line connection options.

Note: Do not plug the unit into the power source until instructed to do so.

1. Install the saddle-tapping valve per the instructions on the bag.

2. Cut a 5” piece of the 1/4” tubing.

Note: The use of soened

water is recommended to

minimize scale

build-up in the boiling

tank and drain valve.

Every 3 Months:

Clean the boiling tank.

Every 3-6 Months:

Change the VOC Filter.

Note: The oat ball in the

boiling tank is tied down

for shipping. The tie must

be removed before the

distiller is used.

f. Once the storage tank and distiller are

completely connected and installed, connect

3/8” tubing to the outlet of the pump and

run the tubing to the desired location.

Note: Do not plug the pump into the wall

outlet until the storage tank is full of water.

If you drain the water down, unplug the

pump so that it does not run dry.

7. Place the storage tank upright on the oor.

Adjust the feet so that the unit is level.

8. Center the storage tank gasket over the hole

in the top of the tank. This gasket will seal

the tank to the bottom of the distiller.

Unpacking and Installing the

AquaNui Distiller:

Installing the distiller consists of a couple

of steps. First, the distiller and storage tank need to be connected for the distilled

water, as well as the wire harness for the oats in the storage tank. Second, the fan

blades were secured for shipment, and must be released before the distiller is usesd.

1. Remove the distiller from the packaging. Use a phillips screwdriver to remove the

back panel.

2. Disconnect the water inlet and

steam tubes to the boiling tank.

3. Disconnect the two plastic parts

of the Boiling Tank 5 Wire Har-

ness electrical connection to the

boiling tank.

4. Remove the boiling tank.

5. Place the distiller onto the stor-

age tank with the AN embossing

on the same side as the faucet on

the storage tank. Make sure that

the wires and connectors for the

probes in the storage tank come

through the hole in the distiller

bottom pan.
