TROUBLE
CAUSE
REMEDY
Insufficient soda flow
(carbonated drinks).
1.
Insufficient CO
2
supply pressure.
2.
Shutoff on mounting block is not fully open.
3.
Foreign debris in soda flow control.
1.
Verify incoming CO
2
pressure is between
70 PSIG (0.483 MPA) and 80 PSIG (0.552
MPA)
2.
Open shutoff fully.
3.
Remove soda flow control from valve and
clean out any foreign material to ensure
smooth spool movement.
Insufficient water flow (plain
water drinks).
1.
Insufficient incoming supply pressure.
2.
Shutoff on mounting block not fully open.
3.
Foreign debris in water flow control.
4.
Water filtration problem.
1.
Verify incoming supply water pressure to
plain water inlet is a minimum of 50 PSI
(0.345 MPA) and a maximum of 100 PSI
(0.689 MPA).
2.
Open shutoff fully.
3.
Remove water flow control from valve and
clean out any foreign material to ensure
smooth spool movement.
4.
Service water system as required.
Erratic ratio.
1. Incoming water and/or syrup supply not at
minimum flowing pressure.
2.
Foreign debris in water and/or syrup flow
control.
3. CO
2
regulator malfunction.
1. Check pressure and adjust.
2.
Remove flow control from suspected valve
and clean out any foreign material to
ensure smooth spool movement.
3.
Repair or replace CO
2
regulator.
Insufficient syrup flow.
1.
Insufficient CO
2
pressure to BIB pumps.
2.
Shutoff on mounting block not fully open.
3.
Foreign debris in syrup flow control.
4. Defective BIB pump.
1. Adjust CO
2
pressure to BIB pumps to
80 PSI (0.552 MPA) (min. 70 PSI (0.483
MPA). Do not exceed manufacturer’s
recommendations.
2.
Open shutoff fully.
3.
Remove syrup flow control from valve and
clean out any foreign material to ensure
smooth spool movement.
4.
Replace pump.
Valve will not shut off.
1. Debris in paddle arms.
2. Solenoid plunger sticking.
1. Activate valve a few times to free debris.
Clean out any foreign material.
2.
Replace solenoid coil.
Water continually leaking at
connections.
1. Loose water connections.
2. Flare seal washer leaks.
1. Tighten water connections.
2.
Replace flare seal washer.
