Introduction
The Culligan Premium Cooler brings a unique, fresh approach, and a new look, to point-of-use water treatment systems in
the marketplace. A high tech “stainless steel” color scheme complements every office environment. Unlike a bottled water cooler, incoming tap water is treated as it is needed, so the water is always fresh and great tasting. Best of all, there
are no bottles to change and the supply is unlimited.
The Culligan Premium Cooler is enhanced with BioCote® technology. BioCote® is a unique anti-microbial agent, based
on silver ion technology that inhibits the growth of a broad range of micro-organisms. BioCote® is incorporated into the
plastic parts of the Culligan Premium Cooler at the time of manufacture, giving it built-in, continuous anti-microbial protection against bacteria, mold and fungi, making it cleaner and safer.
All Premium Cooler systems come standard with a 1-gallon (4-liter) cold tank utilizing an 8-watt ultraviolet lamp for the
in-tank sanitization system. In combination, the Culligan Premium Cooler systems are protected on the inside by UV and
protected on the outside by BioCote®.
The Culligan Premium Cooler is configured with three empty EZ change single heads installed inside that will enable configurations for virtually any incoming water condition. You decide on the treatment package needed and then simply twist
the filters selected into the three EZ Aqua-Cleer
The Culligan Premium Cooler is designed with an internal storage reservoir for configuration as a staged Reverse Osmosis System. To create an RO system:
• First EZ Head: 5 micron sediment filter for pre-filtration
• Second EZ Head: 5 micron carbon block filter to reduce chlorine
• Third EZ Head: RO membrane to reduce TDS
• Filter Clip: In-line carbon post filter to polish the product water from the RO.
•
The Culligan Premium Cooler has been designed to facilitate the use of other Culligan RO options such as the
LC-100 RO with Preferred Series Filters and the AC-50 RO System. Diagrams and preparation instructions for these options are included in the APPENDIX of this manual.
This publication is based on information available when approved for printing. Continuing design refinements could cause
changes that may not be included in this publication.

Safe Practices
Throughout this manual there are paragraphs set off by special headings.
Notice
Notice is used to emphasize installation, operation or maintenance information which is important, but does not present
any hazard. For example,
NOTICE The nipple must extend no more than 1 inch above the cover plate.
Caution

CAUTION! Disassembly while under water pressure can result in flooding.
Cat. No. 01021717
Introduction 1
Warning
Warning is used to indicate a hazard which could cause injury or death if ignored. For example,
WARNING! Electrical shock hazard! Unplug the unit before removing the timer mechanism
or cover plates!
The CAUTION and WARNING paragraphs are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It
must be understood that common sense, caution, and careful attention are conditions which cannot be built into the equipment. These MUST be supplied by the personnel installing, operating, or maintaining the system.
Be sure to check and follow the applicable plumbing codes and ordinances when installing this equipment. Local codes
may prohibit the discharge of sanitizing or descaling solutions to drain.
Use protective clothing and proper face or eye protection equipment when handling chemicals or power tools.
NOTE The Culligan Premium Cooler is primarily designed to be used as an RO system and not used as a
filtration only system.
NOTE The Culligan Premium Cooler is not intended for use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection either before or after the system.
NOTE Check with your public works department for applicable local plumbing and sanitation codes.
Follow local codes if they differ from the standards used in this manual. To ensure proper and
efficient operation of the Culligan Premium Cooler to your full satisfaction, carefully follow the
instructions in this manual.

Overview
Premium Cooler Overview
Cold Tank
The cold tank is manufactured from 304 Stainless Steel which is non-corrosive, inert and reflects ultraviolet (UV) light.
The cold water temperature is adjustable 35-54°F (2-12°C). The capacity of the cold tank is 1 gallon (4 liters). The water
stored in the cold tank is chilled and exposed to UV at the same time. This inhibits bacterial growth in the water and on the
internal surfaces of the tank.
Hot Tank
The hot water tank has a 0.4 gallon (1.5 liters) capacity. It is manufactured from 304 Stainless Steel which is non-corrosive and inert. Heating is provided by an 800 watt heating element. The temperature of the hot tank is set at the factory to
180°F (82°C). A BI-metal overload thermostat is fitted to stop the tank overheating. It is reset manually.
Room Temperature Water
This only provides filtration of your water. No further cooling, heating or treatment is done to the water in this option. The
temperature of the water will be the same as the room temperature. The room temperature water should be flushed after
long periods of non use, including weekends.
Internal Storage Reservoir
An internal storage reservoir eliminates the need for an external storage tank. The entire water treatment system is contained inside the cabinet. A double float mechanism guards against overflows.
Built-in Leak Detection and Shutoff
A plastic containment tray in the base of the unit contains a leak detector. If a leak should occur, the detector will immediately shutoff the inlet solenoid valve.
UV Lamp
The UV light is a TUV lamp with a wavelength of 253.7 nm, which is very efficient at controlling bacteria found in water.
UV light inactivates bacteria by impacting DNA. An 8 watt UV lamp is used in the Premium Cooler. It is protected by a
quartz sleeve which allows UV light to pass through to the water. The UV lamp should be changed every 12 months. The
quartz sleeve should be removed and cleaned when the lamp is changed.
Compressor
The compressor uses R134a non-ozone depleting refrigerant gas. The compressor is controlled by an electromechanical
thermostat monitoring the temperature of the water in the cold tank unit.
Water Pipe and Fittings
All water connection ttings are approved to NSF standard 61. The unit is connected to the water supply by a 1/4” female
bulkhead fitting. The entire internal water circuit and all components which come in contact with water are food grade
certied.
Water Dispensing
Water dispensing to the customer is achieved by means of mechanical switches. No electricity is used in the buttons
pushed by the customer.
Plastic Panels
The molded panels are made from recyclable ABS plastic. All the ABS plastic panels are UV resistant and meet the standards of CE and UL.

Safety Information
Electrical Safety
• Only connect the power cord to a 120V properly grounded outlet.
• Never pull the power plug from the outlet with a wet hand or allow the plug to get wet.
• Keep the power cord out of heavy traffic areas.
• To avoid a fire hazard, never put the power cord under rugs, near radiators, stoves or heaters.
• Do not use a damaged power cord or plug. If the power cord is damaged, a qualified service technician must
replace it.
• Do not use an extension cord with the Premium Cooler.
Installation and Usage Safety
• Keep the Premium Cooler away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
• Keep at least four (4) inches from the wall.
• Don’t lay the Premium Cooler down on its side. If for some reason the unit was placed on its side, it must stand
upright for a minimum of two (2) hours before operation to allow the compressor to stabilize.
• Connect the water supply to a cold water line only. Feedwater over 105 F (40C) can damage the treatment
components.
• Never install the system where it could freeze.
• If the feedwater pressure is over the recommended operating pressure of 60 psi (4 bar), install a pressure-reducing
valve in the water line. Be aware of pressure surges or water hammer.
• Filters should be replaced on schedule. Overused filters will deteriorate the performance of the system.
• Drain the water out of the Premium Cooler after long periods of non-use, such as over the long weekend; this will
allow a fresh batch of water to fill the system.
