10.
Slowly turn on the water supply valve. Open faucet until
water flows for about one minute. Check all connections
for leaks.
11 .
Plug in the chiller.
12 .
Prior to drinking water from chiller, fl ush water
through the chiller for about 5 minutes.

If local codes permit, the chiller feed line should be connected
to the cold water supply line with a ‘’T’’ water line connector
(sold separately). If you are using a filtration unit, the chiller
should be connected after the filters.
IM PORTANT:
If local codes do not permit the use of the ‘’T’’
water line connector, special feed valves can be obtained from
your local plumbing supply retailer.
Caution:
The feed valve must allow water to flow back into the
building’s water supply piping to avoid extreme pressure building
up as the water is chilled. Failure to relieve this pressure will
damage the chiller system and result in a water leak.
The water pressure to the chiller should be between 30 psi (MIN )
and 100 psi (MAX).
Installation Instructions
6b.
If you are NOT installing a filtration system, connect blue
tubing between the”water out” chiller tube and faucet, sold
seperately. Do NOT use “T” quick
fittings (part 10) or
check valve (part 11).
7.
Cut 6 inches of white tubing. Connect one end to “T”
(part 10) that is connected to “water out” chiller tube and
other end to check valve inlet ( see figure 2).
8.
Cut white tubing to connect the water supply fitting
(part 7) and the inlet of the filtration system. Connect the
straight-thru ports of the second “T” (part 10) to the loose
ends of the white tubing just cut. (see figure 3)
9.
Connect white tubing included with chiller between the third
port of the second “T” (part 10) and check valve outlet (see
figure 3).

N OTE:
Tubing must be cut to fit. All tubes must be cut squarely
with no burrs. All tubing connections must be fully seated.
Tubing must be routed to avoid sharp bends and have enough
slack to avoid straining connections. A P-clip and mounting
screw are included to hold the tubing in place as needed. Pull
gently on each connection to make sure they are secure.
IM PORTANT:
After chiller is unpacked, place chiller upright for
24 hours before plugging it in.
1.
Determine where you will install your chiller.
See ‘’Location Requirements’’ section.
2 .
For best performance, allow a 2” (5 cm) space around
the side and the top. Do not put any objects on top of
the chiller that could obstruct the fan.
3.
Shut off water supply valves.
4.
Install faucet (sold separately).
See faucet’s Installation instructions.
5.
Cut a piece of white tubing to connect the chiller (water in)
to the water supply fitting (part 7) or filter outlet (if applicable).
(see figure 1)
N OTE:
If you are installing the chiller and a filtration system
without a bladder tank, follow steps 6a to 12. Following these
steps will avoid the possibility of excessive pressure building as
the chiller cycles on and off. If you are installing a bladder tank
with your filtration system, the bladder tank must be connected
directly to the chiller without any regulators or back flow
preventers between them. If you are NOT installing the chiller
with a filtration system or if your filter system includes a bladder
tank, follow steps 6b. and 10 to 12.
6a.
Connect “T” (part 10) to “water out“ chiller tube. Connect blue
tubing between “T” and faucet, sold separately. (see figure 2)
How to insert/remove tubing in easy connect fitting
Insert the tubing squarely. See figure A.
Make sure to insert tubing completely. See figure B.
Push in collet and pull out tubing. See figure C.
6. Connect elbow fittings to chiller inlet and outlet tubes.
7. Connect water supply tube to fitting on chiller “water in.”
8. Connect faucet tubing to chiller “water out.”
9. Slowly turn on the water supply valve. Open faucet until
water flows for about one minute. Check all connections
for leaks.
10. Plug in the chiller.
11. Prior to drinking water from chiller flush water through the
chiller for about 5 minutes.
