Water Connection
NOTE:
A standard sillcock with water valve attached (locally available) will
be required to connect the water supply to the cooler.
1.
Steady water supply is required for operation of the cooler. If taking water
from an external water faucet, install a sillcock and shutoff valve.
2.
Install plastic or copper line to sillcock and connect it to the float valve.
Water Pump and Lines
A self-contained water pump continuously
circulates water through the water distribution
system and over the media.
The pump and water lines are shipped unconnected.
Connect the Water Lines
1.
Locate the black water line snapped into plastic
keepers inside the unit.
2.
Attach the bottom end of the main water line to
the pump inlet.
3.
Remove the nipple inserted into the end of the
overflow line. Push overflow hose into one of the
slots in the sides of the overflow drain fitting.
4.
Reinsert the nipple into the overflow line.
5.
Attach the top of the hose to the water distribution
tray.
6.
Ensure there are no kinks in the water lines after
completion.
Overflow Drain
1.
Slide the rubber washer over the overflow fitting and push through the hole in the bottom of the cooler from
the top side.
2.
Secure the drain from beneath the pan with the Lock Nut.
Make sure the rubber washer does not twist while tightening,
which could cause it to leak.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
3.
If leakage occurs after reservoir is full, retighten the overflow fitting until
leaking stops. A small amount of silicone caulk may be used if necessary.
4.
Attach a drain hose to the bottom of the fitting if necessary.
Water Level
Two inches of water
should be maintained
in the bottom of the cooler to ensure sufficient water
for correct operation of the cooler.
The float is factory-installed to maintain a 2 inch
level of water, but may require adjustment if shipping
or installation has caused the setting to shift.
