1.0 Introduction The Vertex PureWaterCooler™ products are a means to produce good-tasting, safe water without using bottles of stored water. The PureChill model PWC-900 described here is made for counter top use. Its low height permits it to fit under cabinets. Please read all the instructions in this manual before operating the PureWater- Cooler™.
3.0 Description 3.1 Assembly The PWC-900 assembly drawing is shown in Figure 1. The cooler has one chilling chamber and one hot tank. This chilling chamber water tank holds one gallon of water. and is automatically filled at start-up. The cold water drink- ing line is comprised of an array of sealed stainless steel coils and is sub- merged inside this tank .
3.2 Rear View On the back of the cooler are the main power switches; one for heat- ing and one for cooling. When heating or cooling is occurring, indicator lights on the front panel will turn on. The hot temperature is fixed at a nominal 180°F and is controlled with a thermostat mounted on the outside of the hot tank.
