WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE IF DAMAGED. Unplug and isolate water supply if abnormal
conditions exist. Contact Wellsys or authorized dealer for repair, service, and installation to
avoid hazards.
WARNING! HOT WATER. Unit produces Hot Water in excess of 80oC (175oF). Water above
52oC (125oF) can cause severe burns or scalding. Keep unauthorized people and children
away from the unit to avoid accidental dispensing of hot water.
WARNING! CONNECT TO POTABLE WATER SUPPLY. This system is to be used for water only
and is NOT intended for use where water is microbiologically unsafe or with water of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
WARNING! TIP HAZARD. Dispenser could tip or fall causing serious injury. Always install unit
on a firm, flat, and level surface and secure unit to cabinet, wall, or floor if needed. Never
place heavy items on top of unit and never climb, stand, or hang on unit or storage cabinet to
prevent injury and damage.
WARNING! UNIT IS HEAVY. TWO PERSON LIFT REQUIRED. Transport unit empty and always
use material handling equipment or two people with proper lifting technique to reduce injury
risk.
WARNING! STORE AND TRANSPORT UNIT EMPTY. ALWAYS SANITIZE BEFORE USE.
The unit must be completely drained before storing to avoid stagnation and reduce
microbiological contamination (potential bacterial growth). Always sanitize before use to
eliminate any potential microbiological contaminates.
CAUTION! INDOOR USE ONLY. Intended for Household Use. Never expose to direct
sunlight, heat sources, or ambient air temperature above 37°C (100°F) or below 2°C (35°F).
Install indoors and keep unit away from excessive humidity. Never expose to freezing
temperatures. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit to allow refrigeration
system condenser to dissipate heat. Warmer environments require more clearance around
the unit. Minimum clearance around all surfaces of the machine is 2-inches. Installs where
the ambient temperature exceeds 27°C (80°F), require a minimum of 4-inches clearance for
proper heat dissipation and efficient operation.
CAUTION! USE A WATER PRESSURE REGULATOR. Wellsys will not be responsible for injury
or damage caused by excessive water pressure. Input or feed pressure must be 40 psi to 60
psi. Be aware of any potential pressure surges caused by building/municipal pumping
stations.
CAUTION! USE UV STABILIZED SUPPLY LINES. Feed the unit with a potable ambient or
cold-water supply only. Feed water over 37°C (100°F) can damage the treatment
components. Water block devices and external leak detectors are strongly recommended.
Locate the unit as close to the water supply and the electrical connections as possible.
Immediately isolate or close water supply valve and contact service representative if leak is
noticed.
Contact Wellsys for assistance or help finding an Authorized Service Representative.
