Carbonation valve flow adjustment

  • Use a 6mm Allen key or a large flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the valve.
    Carbonation valve flow adjustment
  • Rotate the adjustment screw anti-clockwise to increase, and clockwise to decrease the flow.
  • To measure the set flow rate, use a measuring jug or cup and run the sparkling water for 15 seconds. The HydroTap has a default 15 second dispense time, which will help in your flow rate setup.
  • Multiply the amount of water dispensed in 15 seconds by 4 to determine the flow rate in liters per minute.
  • The minimum flow rate required is 0.4 gallons, (1.6 liters) per minute.
  • If the flow rate is adjusted too high, the carbonation tank will be emptied of water, leaving only CO2 to be dispensed from the tap. This will result in inconsistent flow (spluttering).

Connect the water supply

warning Valves and fittings must be sealed with PTFE tape if compression seals are not included.

Note Mixer faucet installations also use a 'Tee piece' as part of the water supply plumbing connections, see the Faucet installation instructions supplied with the Mixer to connect the water supply if using the mixer faucet option.

Backflow Prevention

All HydroTap models that have sparkling/carbonated water functionality include the following integral Backflow Prevention.

Main Water Inlet
The Dual Check Valve (DCV) on the Mains Water inlet connection is designed to ensure a uniform direction of flow throughout the HydroTap. This valve configuration eliminates any possible contamination of the mains water supply, caused by backflow or back siphonage and is a secondary safety feature in the case of the inlet safety solenoid. The DCV also maintains a constant pressure upstream of the inlet safety solenoid. There are two (2) operating principles:
Main Water Inlet Backflow Prevention

  • Firstly, one check valve will still act, even if the other is jammed open;
  • Secondly, the closure of one valve reduces the pressure differential across the other, allowing a more reliable seal and avoiding the possibility of minor leakage.

warning The HydroTap MUST NOT be operated without the Dual Check Valves in place.

Internal Carbonator
There are two (2) Check Valves on the internal Carbonator. The Check Valves ensure the flow of CO2 gas and water is maintained in one direction, into the carbonator. These valves help to maintain the pressure needed to ensure the gas remains dissolved in the water while inside the carbonator. The Check Valves are designed to stop any backflow of gas and/or water out of the internal carbonator.
Internal Carbonator Backflow Prevention

In addition to the HydroTap's integral Backflow prevention
Some authorities require additional Backflow Prevention to be installed to comply with the Local, State or Federal plumbing code requirements. Both the Universal Plumbing Code (UPC) and National Standard Plumbing Code (NSPC) require the use of an American Society of Sanitary Engineers (ASSE) 1022 backflow preventer on the supply to carbonators under UPC 603.5.12 and NSPC 10.5.8.
UPC: "Potable water supply to beverage dispensers, carbonated beverage dispensers, or coffee machines shall be protected by an air gap or a vented backflow preventer in accordance with ASSE 1022. For carbonated beverage dispensers, piping material installed downstream of the backflow preventer shall not be affected by carbon dioxide gas".
NSPC: "The water supply to a carbonated beverage dispenser shall be protected against backflow with an integral backflow preventer conforming to ASSE 1022 or an air gap. Carbonated beverage dispensers and carbonated beverage dispensing systems without an integral backflow preventer conforming to ASSE 1022 or an air gap shall have the water supply protected with double check valve and atmospheric vent conforming to ASSE 1022."
In order to comply with this requirement the Installer MUST install an ASSE 1022 approved backflow device on the water supply leading to the HydroTap. This will ensure compliance with the requirement to protect the potable water supply to the carbonated beverage dispenser.
