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 (see
page 9).
PLUMBING LINE CONNECTION
If power has been run to the dispenser, verify that the circuit breaker is
turned , and that the power switch is in the OFF [O] position.
OFF
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.
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. Temperature of a
hot water line must not exceed 140ºF.
DO NOT use a saddle valve to connect Water-Max™ to main supply
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. Water
line material must be rated for at least 180ºF.
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.
DO NOT use a saddle valve to connect Water-Max™ to main supply
line.
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.
