4.
At this point, connect the machine to the water supply via ¼” poly tube
inserted into the “Water In” port on the back of the unit.
5.
Plug the machine into the power supply using the supplied power cord.
Sanitizing
6. To sanitize the machine, you will have to mix a sanitizing solution (Household Bleach
(5.25% Hypochlorite solution), 1 teaspoon to ½ gallon of water or other approved
cleaner) and run it through the cold and sparkling lines. To do this, mix sanitizing
solution in an empty filter canister, and plumb in line with the water supply. It is
recommended to add a few drops of red food coloring to the solution to help identify
when it has run out. Also, setup a pitcher or large container to catch water as it is
dispensed.
7. Disconnect the wire connection between the UV lamp and the PCB.
8. Turn on the Soda switch on the back panel of the unit (
I=ON
) to engage the
carbonator pump and begin filling the carbonator tank. The carbonator pump
should be easily heard running. Once it stops, try dispensing sparkling water to
ensure flow.
9. Connect CO2 to the machine via ¼” poly tube inserted into the rear CO2 port on
the back panel of the machine. Open the CO2 valve on top of the bottle.
NOTE:
Always use a pressure regulator set no higher than 40psi with any CO2 supply.
10. Now dispense cold water until the water runs red, then dispense sparkling water
until the water runs red. Sanitizing solution is now in the lines and chambers of the cold
and sparkling circuits.
11. Continue dispensing alternating water types until both run clear and have no bleach
smell to the water being dispensed. This may require several gallons to be flushed
through the system.
NOTE: Be sure all sanitizer has been flushed from the system
before installing the filters.
