Installation Components List
Included with your Drinkpod 1000 Pro Series are a broad assortment of installation
accessories. Do not get overwhelmed. While it is highly unlikely that you will require all of
them, working with anything connected to your homes water system can be the wild west,
and plumbers are rogue gunslingers. That’s why we’ve done our best to provide enough
accessories to accommodate almost any scenario, and easy to understand instructions to
guide you through the process.
We highly recommend leaving the installation accessories in their labeled tray
until you are instructed to remove them.

Getting Started
Before we proceed with your installation, we must rst identify how and where to install
your new Drinkpod 1000 Pro Series. This will be the most complicated part of the installation
process. Don’t be intimidated! We’ve worked hard to write the best set of instructions you’ll
ever read. Be prepared to feel like a DIY pro when you’re nished!
Conguration & Location
First, let’s decide where you want to install your Drinkpod 1000 Pro Series. In almost all
cases, this easily decided by answering two simple questions.
1. What water sources are available? If you’re not sure what you have, or how to check,
see “Appendix A - Water Sources” on page 2-56 for pictures and more information.
A.
Water Accessory Line (typically refrigerator ice maker line/source)
B.
Sink Faucet Cold Water Line (i.e. underneath your kitchen sink)
2. Do you want to connect any other appliances? Your Drinkpod 1000 Pro Series is
capable of providing puried water to up to two kitchen appliances* (i.e. refrigerator,
ice maker, or coee maker/espresso maker/barista machine with an in-line water
connection).
*The ability to provide purified water to external appliances is dependent on having
sufficient water pressure.
3. Following this are diagrams of the most common types of installations our customers
like to use. Quickly review them to identify which conguration best suits you. We
recommend connecting to a Water Accessory Line if both types of water sources are
available.

4. It’s almost time to choose where to install your new Drinkpod 1000 Pro Series. You should
have a pretty good idea based on available space and whichever conguration you
selected. There’s only one remaining factor you need to consider, and that is your tubing
(water lines).

5. Your water source, 1000 Pro Series, and any accessory appliances all need to be
connected by the white ¼ in. PP tubing (included in your installation kit) or existing
water line hose. Take a moment to visualize where you’ll need to run your water tubing,
and visually inspect any potential trouble areas, and adjust your plans accordingly.
Below are a two examples:
A.
Cabinets separating your 1000 Pro Series from a water source or appliance,
requiring you to route tubing over/under, or drill holes.
B.
Lack of vertical access from your water source under your sink to above your
counter-top, requiring drilling holes to run the tubing inside your cabinets, or
through your counter-top.

Running Water Source Line
It’s time to run your water line (tubing) from your water source to where your
1000 Pro Series will be place. For this section, you will require
1. Uncoil and run A 1/4 in. White PP Tubing, from where its connected (to your water
source) to wherever you intend to locate your 1000 Pro Series. Make any necessary
adjustments (i.e. drilling holes) as you go.
2. Once you have the water line tubing ran all the way to where your 1000 Pro Series will
be placed, measure out a 1 - 2 ft. of additional tubing. You want to ensure you have
sucient slack to pull the 1000 Pro Series away from the wall for maintenance.
3. Cut the tubing using your scissors or knife. Be careful to cut the tubing straight across (at
a 90 degree angle) to avoid leaks.
Diagram 2.4.3 Cut Tubing
4. Now, insert the open end of A 1/4 in. White PP Tubing into one end (doesn’t matter
which) of C 1/4 in. Quick Connect Shuto Valve. Continue to rmly insert tubing
into opening until it won’t go any further. Then pull tubing backwards (away) from valve,
using medium force, to engage/extend the compression sleeve on the valve, and ensure
the connection is secured.

Flushing Your Filters
Certain types of lters require ushing prior to use. This is important for both the lters
lifespan, and the long term lifespan of your Drinkpod 1000 Pro Series. Additionally,
replacements for these types of lters should be ushed each time one is replaced,
prior to installing. For your 1000 Pro Series, the lter that requires ushing is the
ULTRA+3 Hybrid Scrub .
This section will require A 1/4 in. White PP Tubing, G Filter Flushing Attachment,
the lters listed above, scissors, and a container to ush water into (if your sink isn’t within
reach of your water line).
1. Begin by cutting a 3 ft. to 5 ft. section of 1/4 in. White PP Tubing. Make sure to
cut the tubing at a 90 degree (perpendicular) angle.
Diagram 2.5.1 Cut Tubing Perpendicularly
2. Next, insert one end to the labeled IN port on G Filter Flushing Attachment. Be
sure to forcefully push tubing all the way into the QC input until it won’t insert any further.

outgoing water flow, and in rare worst cases, even prevent the feature from functioning. If you
experience any of these issues, we recommend speaking with a professional plumber.
If your water pressure cannot be resolved, we do offer an Alternative Ice Maker Configuration
for users that have chosen a Accessory Water Line as their source. This “Alternative
Conguration” (see page 2-8) allows the water flow to be shared, rather than daisy-
chained.

Final Check
4. Your Acc. Appliances should be connected to E 1/4 in. Brass Compression Tee,
and there should be a section of A 1/4 in. White PP Tubing running from there to
where your Drinkpod 1000 Pro Series will be located, with C
1/4 in. Quick Connect Shuto Valve attached to the other end.
P
Also, for Parallel Conguration, the section of A 1/4 in. White PP Tubing
acc.
running from your Water Source should have the Quick Connect Shuto Valve
removed from it, and be connected to the top port of the Brass Compression Tee.
If all of the above is correct, you’re ready to proceed to the next stage, “Connecting

Congratulations! You are now close enough to the end that you should be able to taste it.
This is the second easiest of the nal stages.
You should either have one or two water lines that end in C
1/4 in. Quick Connect Shuto Valve(s) running to where you plan on locating your new
Drinkpod 1000 Pro Series. The rst (or only) should be from your Water Source or E
1/4 in. Brass Compression Tee (for Parallel Conguration). We will refer to this line as
your Source Line. The second (if applicable) should be from your Accessory Appliance, or
1/4 in. Brass Compression Tee if you have 2 Accessory Appliances. We will refer to this
as your Accessory Line.
1. Move your new Drinkpod 1000 Pro Series to its nal location. Do not plug the power
cord in yet.
2. Cut nal short section(s) of tubing from 1/4 in. White PP Tubing to run from the
C
1/4 in. Quick Connect Shuto Valve(s) to your Drinkpod 1000 Pro Series’s ports.
Be sure to include enough additional length to allow you to pull your 1000 Pro Series
away from the wall (for maintenance).
3. Now connect the section(s) of A 1/4 in. White PP Tubing to the open port(s) on
the C 1/4 in. Quick Connect Shuto Valve(s) of your Source Line and
Accessory Line (if applicable). Use the standard quick connect method to attach them.

Installing Filters
Please note, only the INTERNAL lter (ULTRA+3 ) is required for the appliance to
function. However, this special edition comes with an additional EXTERNAL lter
(Particle) that will, in many cases, extend your primary lters life. We recommend
installing it from the beginning, but can be connected later, as necessary.
Use of the external lter could result in a reduced ow rate, based on your water
pressure, and the distance between your Drinkpod 1000 Pro Series and water
source.
1. Remove the magnetic lter door from the internal lter compartment.
Diagram 2.8.1 - Remove Magnetic Filter Door To Reveal EZ-twist Mount In Water 1000 Pro Series
2. Grab the ULTRA+3 Hybrid Scrub you ushed earlier (to install in the internal slot).

This is the second to last stage of installation. In this stage, we will enable water ow at each
shuto valve, one at a time to ensure there are no leaks.
1. If it’s not already open, start by opening your Water Source Valve (the valve on your
existing water source we rst shut o).
2. If you’re using a Sink Water Source, open the valve on F
3/8 in. Sink Adapter Valve (if you haven’t already opened it). Conrm there are no
leaks.
Diagram 2.8.2 - Open Sink Adapter Valve
3. Ensure nothing is leaking between the last applicable valve above, and the shuto valve
connected to your Source Line.
4. Now open the valve on the Quick Connect Shuto Valve connected to your Source Line
and Source Input Port on your 1000 Pro Series, as shown below.
