Preparing Ice Bank
BUILDING AN ICE BANK
1. At this time, fill the unit water bath tank to the top,
or within 1/2" (13 mm) of the top minimum, of the
overflow tube. Use a garden hose or another water
supply to do this.
NOTE: A manual fill valve is incorporated into the water
circuit to the carbonator tank. This valve can be used to
manually add water lost for any reason. Do not leave this
valve ON constantly, only use it for filling and topping off.
The water bath must be drained, flushed, and refilled every
six months.
2. Main power to unit must be on. Power delay of 30
seconds occurs when power applied. "Pd30"
3. Press COMP/AGIT switch on keypad display.
4. Agitator will come on immediately and compressor
delay will start. "Cd99" will count from 180 to 0.
NOTE: Turn this switch OFF to perform any operations in the
water bath area.
With water bath water temperature of 65°F (18°C), ice must
begin to form on the evaporator coils in approximately 2
hours. The unit will build a full ice bank in approximately 4
to 6 hours (depending on ambient water temperature).

5. Turn on the main water supply to the booster
assembly. Verify the booster is plugged in and that
the accumulator tank valve is open. (If the system
has an optional “Out-of-Syrup” device, verify that it is
unplugged.)
6. Verify the pump is running. Place the valve on the right
side of the pump box in the purge position until all air
bubbles have passed through the line. Turn the valve
back to “dispense”. Plug the Out-of-Syrup device power
cord into an appropriate wall outlet at this time (if
supplied).
NOTE: Verify that the pump box holding tank is full before
proceeding.
7. Turn on the circulator and carbonator. The carbonator
must run for approximately 1 to 3 minutes and shut off.
The circulator must run continuously. Verify that water
is returning to the water bath through the return bulk
head fitting.
Important
Wait until a thin layer of ice has begun to form on the
evaporator before proceeding any further.
8. Go to the tower(s) and brix the valves. Using a syrup
separator and volume cup, adjust the flow rate of the
carbonated water to two fluid ounces per second. Then,
using the separator and a brix cup, adjust the syrup
flow rate for a ratio of carbonated water to syrup to 5
to 1.
Installation Checklist
Check all fittings and conduit attachments for leaks.
Check all insulated connections to make sure that
they are sealed.
Observe the pump operations for leaks.
Check the water bath for full ice bank.
The stabilized water bath operating temperature must
be maintained at 33°F (0.6°C) to 35°F (1.7°C).
Close water bath feeder valve completely.
