INTRODUCTION

The FillaMax Bottle Top Dispenser is a dilution control system engineered to be portable and versatile. The FillaMax
Dispenser is designed to be an integrated bottle-fill or bucket-fill dispenser. Its portable design allows the user to use
it in virtually any environment as long as there is a water source with a spigot and garden hose connection.

BASIC DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The FillaMax Dispenser is a reliable low cost portable proportioning/dilution system that is adaptable to a variety of
plastic bottles with 38mm bottlenecks. The dispenser is connected and engaged to the bottleneck of the container
through an integrated coupling system that is locked together by a simple twist of a 38mm locking nut. The FillaMax
Dispenser will dispense cleaners and sanitizers at the proper dilution rate when the trigger is pressed and will stop
when the trigger is released. For continuous flow, the trigger can be locked into place by moving a sliding lock
forward which then engages the trigger. Drawing the lock backward releases the trigger and shuts off the dispenser.

IMPORTANT NOTES

The FillaMax Dispenser is supplied without a backflow prevention unit. To prevent possible chemical backup into

•

the water supply, comply with all local plumbing codes and install an appropriate backflow prevention unit.

• Ensure that a pressure regulator with a preset value of 40-50 PSI is inline for optimum performance and safety.

• Do not leave the dispenser unattended with trigger in locked position.

• Turn off water supply after use and disconnect.
