Step 5: Install the tubing attached to the pressure regulator outlet into the inlet on the back of the
cooler. Tubing may be shortened if so desired. NOTE: The regulator protects against
sudden pressure increases in the supply line.
Step 6:
Provide a water supply inlet of 1/4" tubing with a code-compliant shutoff valve (valve and
tubing not supplied). If the optional Model 2518 1/4" leak-detecting valve was purchased,
install it in the inlet plumbing as well. This valve is designed to shut off the water supply if
water contacts it, so it is best to secure it firmly to whatever surface the cooler is resting upon,
very close to the cooler itself; supplied tubing may be shortened if so desired (NOTE: Take
care not to introduce water to this valve by mopping, etc.). Connect the assembled water
supply plumbing to the inlet of the pressure regulator.
Step 7:
Elevate the front of the cooler slightly and
slide the drip tray into place beneath the
nozzle. The cooler should sit flat if the drip
tray is properly aligned.
Step 8:
Any new filter cartridge must be purged of
bubbles and carbon particles (both of which
are normal in a new filter) before it can be
used. Do not purge the filter through the
cooler; do this instead:
Disconnect the tubing at the filter outlet and
install a separate length of tubing (by others)
into the outlet (see note 5 on page 3). Direct
this tubing into a suitable container or drain,
and turn on the water supply to purge 5
gallons water through the filter and into the
container. Turn off the water and re-install
the original filter plumbing when done.
This step is necessary for replacement
filters as well.
