CriticalRequirements

EstablishFoodGradeCO


Thiswillproduceoptimumsparklingwater

40–60psi.ALWAYSuseapressureregulatorandleakprotectionwheninstallingunits.


1) PriortosettinguptheWL500WaterTreatmentSystemmachine,opentheknock‐outontheback
panelofthebasecabinettoallowroutingoftheCO
2
pipeifusingthebasecabinet.

2) UnpacktheWL500andsetontopofcountertoporbasecabinetsothatthesidepanelsofthe
machinealignwiththesidepanelsofthebasecabinet.

3) SecuretheWL500tothebasecabinetusingtheboltprovidedinthe
basecabinet.Notethattheconnectionpointisaccessedfromthe
undersideofthebasecabinet.TheboltthreadsintotheWL500base
plateandlockstheunittogether.

4) Installaregulatorontoa5lbor10lbfoodgradeCO
2
bottleandpurge
somegasfromthebottle.Regulateoutputto35‐45psi.Closethe

INbulkheadfittingonthebackof
theWL500.AlwayssecuretheCO2bottlewithachainorstraptopreventtipping.

6) Establish40–60psi0.5gal/minpotablewatersupply.LeakProtectionisrecommended.

7) SupplypowertotheWL500,andturnontheREDPowerSwitchI=ON.The
GREENHeater/CompressorswitchMUSTremainOFF(O=OFF)untiltheWL500
tanksarefilledorHotTankOverloadwilltripandrequirereset.
 

8) FilltheHot,Cold,andSparklingTanksbydispensinguntilasolidstreamof
waterflowsfromeach.TheSparklingTankwillself‐fillaftertheColdTankis
filled.Oncealltanksarefull,turntheGREENHeater/Compressorswitchonto
activatetheheatingandchillingsystems(I=ON).

createa“NoWaterSupply”errorduetooverpressureconditioninthecarbonationchamber.

10) Allowtheunittochillthewaterdowntothe41°FsetpointandthenregeneratetheSparklingTank
bydispensingtheentirebatch(0.8liters)ofsparklingwateruntilonlyCO2gasflowsfromthe
