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.
Congratulations, the most dicult part is out of the way! Let’s get started

1/2 in. wrench.
1. If nothing is currently connected to your water accessory line, skip forward to Step
#7 on page 2-14.
2. If appliance is connected to water accessory line, start by powering o and
unplugging the appliance.
3. Pull the refrigerator (or other appliance) away from wall suciently to allow access to
wall and oor behind it.

4. In most scenarios, your shuto valve and connection will look similar to the rst diagram
below. We’ve also included the second and third most common setups in the proceeding
diagrams. The instructions should remain accurate, regardless of which setup yours is, as
long as it incorporates a shuto valve. Should the latter not be the case, you will have to
locate the shuto valve before proceeding.

from the source shuto valve. If you’re unsure how to disconnect the water line, see
“Appendix B - Component Connections” on page 2-60. If its already adapted to
quick connect (see ) leave the adapter, and disconnect the tubing.

a 1 in. wrench, you can check to conrm by attempting to loosen the connection (there
is 1/16 in. range of variance between dierent plumbing ttings). IF THAT DOESN’T FIT,
you have an extremely rare setup, and should contact a plumber. IF THE LARGER
WRENCH DOES FIT, we don’t provide 1/2 in. adapter in your kit (only 2.5% of our
customers require it), but we’d be more than happy to ship you one for free upon request.
Call us at 1-844-374-6576, or email us at support@drinkpod.com. Or, if you don’t
want to wait, you can pick one up at your local hardware store. Ask for a 1/2 in (FIP) x
