Preparing For Installation

Before proceeding with the installation, you must determine the mode of operation

(Auto Drain Mode or Manual Drain Mode). Pure Water, Inc. recommends that your

Mega-Classic be operated in the Auto Drain Mode, but we recognize that all locations

may not have an adequate drain available.

Auto Drain Mode:  

Auto Drain Mode:  

Auto Drain Mode:  

Auto Drain Mode:  

Auto Drain Mode:  This allows the boiling tank of the distiller to drain automati-

cally when the storage tank is full or when there is a power interruption. In the

Auto Drain Model, the Mega-Classic needs to be installed in a location with an

appropriate drain and drain connections, as explained in the 

Connecting the

Boiling Tank Drain Line

     section on page 10 of this manual. The Drain Operation

Manual Drain Mode:

Manual Drain Mode: 

Manual Drain Mode:  This allows the boiling tank to be drained manually. This is

ideal for locations that do not have an appropriate drain or connection. Manual

Drain Mode will not allow the unit to drain the boiling tank automatically. If you

wish to set your drain mode to manual, you must remove the side panel and

locate the Drain Operation Switch on the side of the unit and change it to

“Manual”.  

Note

:::::  When draining the boiling tank manually, you must depress and

hold the Drain Switch in the “Override” position. This switch is located under the

top panel. 

. . 

. . You must also turn the Function Switch to “Clean”. Make sure you

return the Function Switch to “Distill” once manual draining is complete.

Other things to consider when installing your Mega-Classic:

Select an area that will allow the distiller to remain level. Improper leveling

could affect the production rate.

The distiller must be located in close proximity to a water supply, floor or other

drain and appropriate electrical supply source. The distiller should also be

located in a well ventilated room.

The Mega-Classic should be installed at least two feet above the floor. This is

for several reasons:

1.

Easier position to observe and maintain.

2.

Better drainage from the boiling tank when it dumps the residue water.

Electrical requirements:  Isolated 115 VAC, 20 amp circuit (220 VAC, 10 amp).

Check the electrical rating on the label on the rear of the distiller.

When connecting the tubing into the quick-connect fittings, it is critical the

tubing be inserted fully!  The tubing should insert into the fitting 1/2” to 3/4”.

Failure to do so could cause water damage. We recommend that prior to

inserting the tubing, you mark the tubing 1/2” from the end being inserted into

the fitting, then pull back on the tubing to verify it is attached securely. This

should ensure the tubing is properly and fully installed. Also, make sure the

tubing is cut squarely and is free of rough edges.

Note: The use of

softened water is
recommended to

minimize scale

build-up in the

automatic drain valve.
