The WL500 Water Treatment System can be programmed to default back to COLD or Sparkling after 3 seconds of inactivity as a safety feature to prevent accidental dispensing of hot water. Dispensing Extra Hot Water from the WL500 Water Treatment System Typically, the WL500 Water Treatment System hot water temperature is set to 87.2 C F). In some ° ° cases, extra hot water is desired for making soups and teas. To temporarily raise the hot water temperature, users can depress and release the EXTRA HOT select button (button 4). The word HEATING will appear in the display for 10‐seconds, which will raise the hot water temperature about F. If the user presses the EXTRA HOT select button again after 30‐seconds have expired, the word ° HEATING will appear in the display, and the temperature in the Hot Tank will be raised another 2 F. Eventually, as the process is repeated, the Hot Tank temperature will reach up to 95 F), and the ° ( ° extra heating will be disabled. At this point, 95 C (203 F) hot water can be dispensed from the WL500, ° ° Water Treatment System which is a desired temperature for soups/teas. The WL500 Water Treatment System will return to the hot temperature set point after the extra hot water is dispensed.

(See Programming Section) When the Main Dispensing Button is pressed, Solenoid 5 will open, and the CO gas supply from the ...
Page 17 Once the level sensor detects the tank is full of water, the PCB will shut down sparkling water generation (Mizzling Process). The WL500 Water Treatment System will return to the COLD default selection after 3 seconds. Cold and Hot water can be dispensed while sparkling water is being generated. The sparkling water generation will stop as soon as sparkling water is dispensed or the chamber fills. The WL500 Water Treatment System will make 1 liter (34 ounces) of sparkling water in approximately 1 minute, 20 seconds. Typically, users will only dispense up to ½ liter (17 ounces) of sparkling water at a time, and the WL500 Water Treatment System takes about 40 seconds to regenerate sparkling water tank accordingly. Waterlogic WL500 Water Treatment System produces Premium Sparkling Water which is made in a batch and contains a fine, dense carbonation as compared to some “soda water” products. Optimal sparkling water is generated with cold water under 7.8°C (46°F). WL500 Water Treatment System Sparkling Level Sensor Probe requires inspection and service. See Service Section. WL500 Water Treatment System Energy Saving Sleep Mode The WL500 Water Treatment System has programmable Energy Saving Sleep Mode. When Energy Saving Sleep Mode is ON the WL500 Water Treatment System will shut down the heater circuit to conserve energy after the machine is idle for 3 hours. The heater circuit will awake once any button is depressed and it will reheat the Hot Tank to set point temperature. “ENERGY SAVING SLEEP MODE” will be displayed.

Page 18: Premium Sparkling Overview
WATERLOGIC WL500 PREMIUM SPARKLING OVERVIEW Waterlogic WL500 Water Treatment System produces Premium Sparkling Water which is made in a batch and contains a fine, dense carbonation as compared to other “soda water” products in the market. Optimum sparkling water is generated in the WL500 Water Treatment System with 5 C (41°F) ° cold water and food grade CO at 43.5 psi (3 Bar). Please ensure customer’s carbonation expectations are clear before installing a WL500 Water Treatment System. Waterlogic Premium Sparkling Water is very similar to Perrier and Pellegrino. The premium fine dense sparkling water produced by the WL500 Water Treatment System may not meet user's expectations if they are looking for large bubble soda stream type of carbonation. A blind taste test using Pellegrino/Perrier is a great way to demonstrate the expectations and quality of the Waterlogic Premium Sparkling Water. Open two bottles and empty one and fill with Premium Waterlogic Sparkling Water from a freshly regenerated tank operating at optimum conditions (41°F / 43 psi). Recap both and mark the bottles accordingly. Ensure the bottles are sampled at the same temperature by refrigerating if necessary for later use and comparison. Most users will prefer the great taste of the Waterlogic Premium Sparkling Water at a fraction of the cost of the bottled counterparts. You may purchase a carbonation tester from a company such as Taprite to measure the level of carbonation if you wish to quantify the results and check the output of the WL500 Water Treatment System. The level of carbonation is very consistent as long the test conditions are repeatable and proper testing procedures are followed. Temperature of the water in the WL500 Water Treatment System has the largest impact on the taste and carbonation levels and the Cold Tank must below 46°F (prefer 41°F) before injecting water into the Sparkling Chamber (carbonator) to produce proper results. The temperature inside the Cold Tank can be displayed on the LCD screen by setting the temp display function to "Ranging" mode. See the programming section to adjust this setting. Allow a minimum of an hour for the WL500 Water Treatment System to chill the cold circuit to the 41°F set point temperature before sampling the sparkling water. Once the water is chilled, the Sparkling Tank should be "Regenerated" by completely and continuously dispensing the initial batch (0.8 liters) of ...
Page 19: Hot Tank Principles Of Operation
The Vent Chamber allows for expansion of the water when it is heated. The chambers are separated by a welded‐in tank baffle. Water always flows into the bottom of the tank and out the top to the faucet. The Hot Tank outlet tube has a restrictor in its base. This ensures the reservoir is always full by allowing more water in than out. There is a small hole in the side of the tank outlet tube that allows air and water to pass into the vent chamber as it is heated. Water in the vent chamber is suctioned back through the outlet tube vent hole when water is dispensed. Expansion of water as it is heated in the reservoir will push the water out the faucet when the outlet tube vent hole becomes plugged with debris or scale. The small Outlet Vent Hole is susceptible to scale build up and is a key indicator that descaling is required. It is critical to descale the Hot Tank through the vent line and outlet line on a regular basis to prevent this problem. Descaling through the inlet and/or outlet lines only will not clean the vent chamber and outlet vent hole properly. WL500 Manual Page 19 Revision 4‐10‐2019 ...

Page 61 WL500 DRAINING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! WL500 WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM IS A HEAVY OBJECT. Use proper lifting aids and handling techniques to avoid injury. Use assistance as single person lift could cause injury. Always drain before handling to reduce weight. Draining Notes There are 3 tanks and a booster pump circuit that must be drained in the WL500 Water Treatment System. The cold still water circuit of the WL500 Water Treatment System consists of a 2‐liter Cold Tank, a 1‐liter pre‐chill chamber and a booster pump circuit that is sealed and must be vented to drain. The booster pump will have some water in the circuit that must be purged to remove it. The Sparkling Chamber does not have a vent or drain port and must be dispensed until empty (pushing CO gas only out of the faucet) to clear the water from the Sparkling Chamber. It is critical to clear the cold still water before draining the Sparkling Chamber to ensure the pump does not inject water back into the Sparkling Chamber. The Hot Tank has a drain port and is the only tank that is open to atmosphere through the vent and faucet. GREEN RED Prior to draining the Hot Tank, turn the GREEN Compressor/Heater Switch off (O=OFF), and dispense 2 liters of hot water from the machine. As hot water is dispensed from the faucet of the unit, colder water will be introduced into the Hot Tank. Since the GREEN Compressor/Heater switch is turned off the heater will not energize and heat the incoming tap water. Following this precaution prevents exposing personnel and equipment (drains, catch basin, etc.) to scalding hot water. Disable Cold and Hot Tanks GREEN RED 1. Turn off the GREEN Heater / Compressor Switch to disable the heater and Compressor. O=OFF 2. Dispense 2 liters of water through the Hot Tank to cool the water temperature in the Hot Tank and avoid burns. WARNING! VERY HOT WATER CAN BURN OR SCALD. ...

The Sparkling Injection A “No Water Supply Fault” will occur if the Sparkling Water Injection Pump Runs Too Long Pump runs for 10 minutes. This is a safety feature to prevent the Pump from being damaged. When operating properly, it should take about 1‐ 1/2 minutes for the Pump to inject enough water to completely fill the 1 liter Sparkling Chamber. This can occur when there is not adequate supply of water to fill the Sparkling Chamber, or the pump cannot overcome the CO pressure in the Sparkling Chamber, or there is not a proper ground signal from the level sensor in the Sparkling Chamber to shut off the pump once it is filled.  The water supply is not adequate. Ensure proper water supply to the cold circuit. Remember that the WL500 Water Treatment System contains two Carbon Filters inside the Front Access Panel. The first Filters head has a valve that will shut off water supply when the Filters is removed. The water supply has been shut off or is not adequate. Always ensure there is 40‐60 psi and 1.5 Liters/Min (0.4 gal/min) water supply. The internal Filters is removed and the Safety Valve in the first Filters head is stopping water supply. The Filters have become fouled and plugged, thereby starving the pump of make‐up water. Change the Filters. III.

SPARKLING WATER TROUBLESHOOTING INDEX 1. Sparkling is Weak, Low Carbonation 1. Sparkling is Weak, Low Carbonation Waterlogic WL500 Water Treatment System produces Premium Sparkling Water which is made in a batch and contains a fine, dense carbonation as compared to other “soda water” products in the market. Optimal sparkling water is generated with cold‐water and food grade CO set at 43 psi (3 Bar). Waterlogic Sparkling Water is very similar to Perrier and Pellegrino Sparkling Water. Temperature of the water in the WL500 Water Treatment System has the largest impact on the taste and carbonation levels and the Cold Tank must below 46°F (prefer 41°F) before injecting water into the Sparkling Chamber (carbonator) to produce proper results. WARNING! Do not turn up CO pressure beyond recommended setting of 43psi attempting to produce stronger carbonation level as the injection pump used in the carbonator will not be able to compress gas in the Sparkling Chamber and a "No Water Supply" error will result. The temperature inside the Cold Tank can be displayed on the LCD screen by setting the temp display function to "Ranging" mode. See the programming section to adjust this setting. Setting Customer Sparkling Water Expectation Please ensure your customers expect a Premium Sparkling Water similar to Perrier and Pellegrino versus a Soda Water or Soda Club type of product before installing a WL500 Water Treatment System. The WL500 Water Treatment System sparkling water will not meet user's expectations if they expect a large bubble soda stream type of product. A blind taste test using Pellegrino/Perrier is a great way to demonstrate the expectations and quality of the Waterlogic Premium Sparkling Water. Open two bottles and fill one with cold Waterlogic Sparkling Water from a freshly regenerated tank operating at optimum conditions. Recap and mark the bottles accordingly. Please ensure the bottles are sampled at the same temperature you can refrigerate them for later use and comparison. Most users will prefer the great taste of the Waterlogic Sparkling Water at a fraction of the cost of the bottled counterparts. ...
Page 75 Always allow the WL500 Water Treatment System to chill the cold‐water to set point temperature (allow up to 45 minutes to chill all 4 liters of water in the unit) before sampling the sparkling water. You or your customer must "Regenerate" the Sparkling Tank by completely dispensing the initial batch of 0.8 liters of product from the Sparkling Chamber once the unit has chilled to set point of 41F. The initial batch of sparkling product will be flat because it was injected into the carbonator (Sparkling Chamber) at ambient temperature when initiating the WL500 Water Treatment System. Always remember that the water in the UV treated Cold Tank needs to be cold (below 46° F) to make premium good tasting sparkling water. Do not set the cold temperature set point below 41°F or you increase the risk freezing the Sparkling Tank. The Thermistor that controls the refrigeration system is located in the well in the UV Cold Tank and does not monitor water temperature in the Sparkling Tank (carbonator). The refrigeration system chills both tanks simultaneously and is either on/off based up on feedback from the Thermistor. Frequent or continuous use of the cold still water side results in refrigeration system running and continuously chilling the sparkling product in the carbonator to the point at or below freezing. This can result in a frozen Sparkling Tank and sparkling product will not be dispensed even with proper gas supply. WL500 Manual Page 75 Revision 4‐10‐2019 ...

3. Short Circuit 4. Ground Fault 5. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Tripping SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: DANGER! If incorrectly installed, operated or maintained, this product can cause death or severe injury. Those who install, operate, or maintain this product should be trained in its proper use, warned of its dangers, and familiar with the tools and equipment before attempting to install, operate, or maintain the product. DANGER! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Always unplug or isolate from power supply prior to servicing equipment to prevent electrical shock. Only authorized technicians familiar with electrical safety should attempt this advanced troubleshooting. Contact Waterlogic if you need any assistance or help finding an authorized service representative. Power Supply Requirements and General Guidelines  Ensure Power Supply is 120V 60Hz AC with a minimum of 15‐amp service.  No other equipment is to be connected to the outlet.  Use only Waterlogic Supplied Power Cord.  Never Use Extension Cords. Typical Duplex Outlet is wired to carry 15 amps. Waterlogic units will draw approximately 6‐7 amps at full load. However, the current can spike up when the Compressor first starts and the heater is on. Always use a minimum 15‐amp service to supply a Waterlogic unit. WL500 Manual Page 76 Revision 4‐10‐2019 ...
Page 77 2. Circuit Overload The circuit overloading is the most common reason your circuit breaker is tripping. That means you’re running too many heavy power consuming devices at the same time on the same circuit. Ensure adequate service and that no other devices are tied to the same circuit. 3. Short Circuit A short circuit happens when a “hot” wire (black) touches another hot wire or touches a “neutral” wire (white) in one of your outlets or devices connected to it. When these two wires touch, a large amount of current flows, creating more heat than the circuit can handle, so it will trip the circuit breaker. You can identify the root of a short circuit by visually checking for discoloration of components from excessive heat caused by the short. You can perform continuity or resistance checks between components to verify short circuits. Always replace any component and associated parts that have been exposed to a strain of a short circuit. All wires and connectors should be replaced to avoid failures. 4. Ground Fault A ground fault happens when a hot wire (black) touches the ground wire (bare copper or green) on the side of a metal outlet box which is connected to the ground wire. Just like a short circuit, you need to find the root cause and repair anything looks out of the ordinary within the circuit or equipment. WL500 Manual Page 77 Revision 4‐10‐2019 ...
