DESIGN

Frame: Galvanized structural steel chassis supports cooler

housing.

Housing: Heavy-duty 14 gauge stainless steel cabinet with
front access panel and integral basin.

Screened Vents: Perforated vent screens prevent objects from
being inserted into cooler.

to-operate. Allows front access stream height adjustment.

Note – Flow regulator provides constant stream from 20 to
105 psi water pressure.

COOLING SYSTEM
Motor Compr

essor: Hermetically sealed, reciprocating type,

120 Volt/60 Hz, single phase. Sealed-in lifetime oil suppl y.

IMPORTANT!

INSTALLER PLEASE NOTE:

This water cooler has been designed and built to provide water to the user which
has not been altered by materials in the cooler waterways.

The grounding of electrical equipment such as telephone, computers

, etc., to water

lines is a common procedure. This g

rounding may be in the building but may also
occur away from the building. This grounding can cause electrical feedback into
a water cooler creating an electrolysis which creates a metallic taste or causes an
increase in the metal content of the water. This condition is avoidable by installing
the cooler using the proper materials as shown below.

NOTICE
This water cooler must be connected to the water supply using a dielectric

coupling.

The cooler is furnished with a non-metallic strainer which meets this

requirement.
The drain trap which is provided by the installer should also be plastic to

completely isolate the cooler from the building plumbing system.
