3. CONNECTION OF WATER SUPPLY
• Glastender, Inc. recommends that a 1/2” water line with
shut-off valve be installed within 10-ft. (3 M.) of the unit.
Incoming water pressure is not to be less that 20 P.S.I.
NOTE: If water pressure exceeds 60 P.S.I. or severely fluc-
tuates, a water pressure regulator is required ahead of the
brass pump to avoid flooding the Carbonator. This regulator
is not supplied as standard equipment
• Before connecting water supply, drain approximately
two gallons of water from supply to flush out foreign
matter.
• It is recommended that a water filtering systems be
installed to reduce “off” tastes and odors. Use a system
that can filter out dirt particles 1 micron and larger.
Also amoebic and giardial cysts, asbestos fibers and
other similar contaminants.
• Connect water supply to the 3/8” barb of the fitting of
the water-in tube. (see fig. 4, Labeled Water Supply)
• Secure with proper sized “O” clamps.
4. CONNECTION OF “PRODUCT OUT” LINES
• Install the insulated bundled tubes on the 3/8” barb fittings.
Syrup and Soda Lines
Water-in Tube

5. CONNECTION OF “PRODUCT IN” LINES
• Install the 1/4” I.D. braided tubing from the syrup
supply location to the 1/4” male barb connections on
the unit. Use tie wraps to neatly bundle supply lines.
• Secure lines to product coils with “O” clamps.
Glastender, Inc. • 5400 North Michigan Road • Saginaw, MI • 48604-9780
• Mount the regulator assembly conveniently near the
product supply and CO2 cylinder.
• Use either a regulator with a wall mounting bracket or
mount directly to the cylinder.
• An extension tube is mounted to the carbonator tank
with 1/4” barb fitting for ease of connection. Measure
and cut a length of 1/4” I.D. braided flexible tubing to
go from the CO2 regulator to the carbonator extension
tube (labeled C02). (Leave enough line to go through
the top cover of the unit.)
• Measure and cut 1/4” I.D. braided flexible tubing for
each syrup gas line. Connect one end to the regulator
manifold and the other end to syrup supply.
7. START-UP OF DISPENSING SYSTEM
Open main water supply valve.
•
Purge air from carbonator by lifting relief valve.
• Turn on “CARB” switch. (see fig. 3)
• Close all CO2 regulators.
Fig. 5 GLASTENDER TEMPLOCK Insulated Conduit
8. INSULATED CONDUIT(Figure 5)
• The GLASTENDER TEMPLOCK insulated tube con duit is recommended for this remote Post-Mix applica tion. This manufactured conduit maximizes the cooling
performance of the system.
• Open the valve on the CO2 cylinder. (The high pres
sure gauge will read about 800 P.S.I.)
• Adjust the carbonator regulator to 100 P.S.I.
• Operate a valve until carbonated water flows freely
(without spurting).
• Adjust the syrup regulator to 50 P.S.I.
• Adjust diet syrup regulator (if used) to 12 P.S.I.
• Check all connections for leaks.
• Insulate and tape all exposed refrigerated conduit lines.
• After refrigeration systems has cycled off once, turn on
recirculating switch. (Full ice bank is required to cool
tower.) Replace top cover.
• Follow standard brixing procedures.
• Conduit may be run under floors, over ceilings, under
the counter or bar, and will not kink in an 18-inch radius
around a corner.
• When conduit is to be run across ceilings or under coun
ters, always place conduit straps every 3-ft. to prevent
sagging.
• On runs through ceilings that are also used for air con ditioning return ducts, check local fire codes. They may
require that the conduit be covered with a fire rated
metal flex duct.
• It is recommended that the chase protrude above the
floor level a minimum of 2 inches and should be sealed
off once the installation has been completed. By sealing
off the floor chase, you eliminate the possibility of for eign matter being spilled into it, which could permeate
the conduit.
Glastender, Inc. • 5400 North Michigan Road • Saginaw, MI • 48604-9780
• Temperature of the soda water in cup affects the amount
of carbonation retained in water. If drink is above 40
degrees F. only 92% is retained. When taking drink
temperature, always dispense at least 16 ounces of
product to get a true reading.
• Flooded carbonator caused by water being supplied at a
higher pressure than the CO2 pressure. Check pressure
regulator system. Make sure it is at least 35 P.S.I. lower
than CO2 pressure. The CO2 pressure should be 100
P.S.I.G.
• Any substance with an oil base will knock out carbona tion. Make sure no pipe dope or compound is on any
fitting. Always use teflon tape.
• Ice that is super cold will cause foaming problems and
a loss of carbonation. Bring ice to melt temperature (28
degrees) before using.
2. BAD TASTE IN BEVERAGE
• Pipe compound or pipe dope can impart a taste to the
water. Remove piping and clean joints. Replace piping
using only teflon tape.
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is odorless, colorless, and
tasteless. If CO2 gas contains any oil or sludge from fill ing tanks, a bad taste could result.
• Soda water reacts to brass or copper and becomes toxic.
Remove any brass or copper object coming in contact
with soda water. Replace with polyethylene or stainless
steel.
3. NOISY CARBONATOR PUMP
• Check to see that filter and/or strainer are not clogged,
and water valve to unit is wires from switch. With
switch in “ON” fully opened.
• Incoming water supply to unit should be 3/8” I.D.
minimums.
• Be sure pump and pump motor are properly aligned and
the clamp is tight.
• Broken vanes in pump requiring pump replacement.
4. NOISY RECIRCULATING PUMP
• Check for restrictions in recirculating lines.
• Be sure pump and pump motor are properly aligned and
clamp is tight.
• Broken vanes in pump requiring pump replacement.
5. COMPRESSOR WILL NOT RUN
• Verify that switch is in “ON” position.
• Check all wire junctions and tighten any loose connections.
• Replace ice-bank control.
6. COMPRESSOR RUNS BUT STOPS
• Air-cooled: Clean condenser
• Water-cooled: Verify adequate water supply.
7. COMPRESSOR RUNS-WILL NOT COOL
• Check for refrigerant leaks
• Replace condenser.
8. CARBONATOR PUMP MOTOR WILL
NOT RUN
• Check fuse and supply switch. Make sure switch is on.
• Check switch on beverage system by disconnecting power
supply. Remove 2 wires from switch. With switch in
“ON”
• Remove 2 wires from switch. With switch in “ON” position,
connect continuity tester to both terminals of switch. If no
continuity, replace switch.
• Check circulating pump to be sure it turns freely by hand.
If not, replace it.
• With pump removed and proper voltage supplied to the
motor and it fails to run, it is defective and must be
replaced.
9. PUMP LEAKING WATER
• Check for worn seal. If so, replace pump
• Pump must be insulated properly to prevent condensation.
10. WARM BEVERAGE
• Check for defective circulating pump. If so, replace it.
• Check water bath temperature (30º +/-2) and level.
• Clean condensor coil at air intake.
11. WATER IN BATH FREEZING COMPLETELY
• Ice-bank control defective and must is be replaced.
12. NOISE IN WATER BATH
• Water level in bath low. Refill to proper level.
