IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTICE

Installer will be required to test water pressure, water flow, water total hardness, electrical voltage and amperage; and to record dispenser installation particulars on the INSTALLATION CHECK OUT form in this manual.

PLUMBING LINE CONNECTION

If power has been run to the dispenser, verify that the circuit breaker is turned OFF, and that the power switch is in the OFF [O] position.

Water-Max™ has an internal sensor to verify that there is sufficient water pressure to operate. Water-Max™ will not operate until a water supply is connected to the unit or if water pressure is less than 25 p.s.i.

Water-Max™ must be connected to a potable water supply.

NOTICE:

WATER PIPE CONNECTIONS AND FIXTURES DIRECTLY

CONNECTED TO A POTABLE WATER SUPPLY SHALL BE SIZED, INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL ORDINANCES.

May be connected to either hot or cold water line. Connecting to a hot water line will increase the volume flow of the dispenser.

Minimum 1/4” copper or flex tubing supply line (3/8” minimum if run from main supply exceeds 12 feet) with 1/4” female flare fitting.

Minimum 25 psi / maximum 75 psi water pressure at full flow.

The installation of a SHUTOFF VALVE (must be provided by plumbing installer) on the incoming water line is required. A 1/4 turn ball valve is recommended to minimize restricting the water flow during operation.

Installation of a PRESSURE REGULATOR and WATER HAMMER ARRESTOR (to be provided by plumbing installer) on the incoming water line is recommended.

Clean the incoming waterline: Run water through the line into a sink or bucket to flush any foreign particles or debris from the waterline.

Assemble incoming water line to the inlet fitting. Turn on water supply valve and check for leaks.

Test water for pressure at full flow. If a pressure regulator is installed, adjust pressure to 40 p.s.i. Record this reading on the INSTALLATION CHECK OUT form.

Test water for total hardness. Record readings on the INSTALLATION CHECK OUT form.
