Installation:
Each installation must include the following components
•
An isolating and non return valve must be fitted at the point of connection to the water supply.
•
An anti leak device must be fitted at the point of connection to the water supply downstream
of the isolating and non return valves.
•
Pressure limiting devices should be installed to protect the cooler and feed pipework from
water pressure surges in locations where they may occur
•
Each cooler must have an independent isolating tap. This is intended so that the cooler can be
replaced without draining long lengths of piping
The following general guidelines apply to the pipework
•
Pipework should avoid light fittings and electrical and gas piping
•
Pipework in public view should be securely and neatly fixed.
•
All pipework should be accessible and clearly labeled.
•
Pipework should be lagged when necessary to avoid freezing or high temperatures.
The customer should be informed in writing of the location of all isolation valves
Sanitisation:
EPDWA guidelines state:
•
All coolers must be sanitized before commissioning
•
When a customer signs up to the sanitisation program, the cooler should be sanitized every 6
months
•
Sanitisation should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions – see
attached documents.
Connecting Water Cooler to Mains Supply:
All OASIS POU water coolers are supplied with a push-fit connector that should be used to connect the
cooler to the mains water supply. OASIS recommends that these guidelines should be followed when
installing the cooler:
Use
¼
” diameter tubing to connect the mains supply to the water cooler. Although 6mm tubing will
appear to fit, it is actually approximately 5% smaller in size. The use of 6mm tubing will result in a leak.
In any mains water system, it is possible for “spikes” or sudden fluctuations in pressure to occur. These
can result in instantaneous pressures in excess of 7 bar (100 psig) to occur. OASIS recommend that all
installations include a pressure regulator, such as a slow flow regulator, which should be located in front
of the cooler’s water inlet.
Installing the water cooler at your customer’s premises
1.
Carry the cooler in the upright position to the customer’s premises - use the handle at the rear of
the unit
