Water Coolers

VERSAFILLER®

Model PWEBF
Fountains/VersaFiller combo.
Installation Instructions

The Hands-Free VersaFiller is an extension of the Aqua Pointe® product line
that mounts directly above Versacooler® I and II products. If the cooler outlet
does not have two useable plugs, an outlet splitter will need to be used.

If installed onto a refrigerated cooler, chilled water can be dispensed through
the VersaFiller. Otherwise, room temperature water will be dispensed.

The VersaFiller is shipped partially assembled.

On the combo units, the cooler is plumbed and ready to attach to the
VersaFiller.

When completed, the finished assembly will look like this:

Note: Proceed to Sect 3B Step 5 “Final steps for both product
families” if the cooler is purchased “VersaFiller ready”.

A: Drilling hole in the top for water line connection.

1. Disconnect power by UNPLUGGING unit. It might be necessary to
remove the front panel to get access to the power.

2. Turn OFF water supply to the unit. It might be necessary to remove the
front panel to access the water stop valve.

3. Place hole template onto cooler top so it is aligned with the left side of
unit and wall. SEE NEXT PAGE FOR TEMPLATE

4. Mark hole location

5. Remove top from unit.

Mark hole location.

Template

Remove top from cooler by
removing six, #15 torx head
screws on sides of top.

6. Using a step drill bit or 7/8” punch die, make a 7/8” hole through top. You
may want to drill a pilot hole to get these started.

7. Install snap bushing into hole to protect tubing from being cut.

B: Connecting the water line

Note: If you are retrofitting the Versafiller to an existing cooler,
follow the instructions starting on page 11.

For the single “Versafiller ready” cooler, the tube to connect to the Versafiller
is found inside the access panel (the compressor compartment). This tube
supplies cold water from the cooling tank to the Versafiller.

¼” OD tube to connect
to Versafiller

For split level “Versafiller ready” coolers, the tube to plumb in the
Versafiller is packaged in the dummy unit.

Remove tube from bag.

First, remove plug from
fitting on tank drain

Next, insert end of
tube into fitting.

9

The tee and tube to the Versafiller are packaged with the PWEBF
unit. One branch of the tee will supply the valve on the dummy unit,
the other branch of the tee will connect to the Versafiller.

If a filter is being installed, cut a piece of tubing about 3” long to
insert (optional) flow switch right after filter and before tee. This
allows Versafiller counter to accurately calculate amount of water
passing through filter.

To retrofit the Versafiller to an existing unit, follow the
instructions below:

If the cooling tank is non-pressurized, then go to the “Pressurizing the

cooling tank” addendum section. Otherwise, proceed to step 1 below.
Non-pressurized units are single units made since December of 2009.

Refer to the schematic below to identify the system that you have.

3. Using the 38” piece
of tubing provided,
cut 6” and install it
on the end of the
TEE. Install the
remaining tubing
onto the branch of
the TEE. Connect
the other end of the
TEE to the tank

3. Pull back insulation and cut
the copper tube with a
tubing cutter. Cut where
there is at least 1 inch of
straight tubing on each side
of the cut.

4. Install TEE fitting by
connecting the copper
tubing to each end. Then
install the 32” piece of
plastic tubing to the TEE
branch.

Section 3B: Installation: Final steps for both product families:

5. Feed black and blue tubing up through bushing in top.

• For single unit, also feed white tube attached to tee through bushing.

• For split level, connect tee and white tube packed with bottle filler per

schematic below.
Attach top to cooler. If flow switch was installed, cord from flow switch must
also pass through this bushing.

To solenoid valve inlet.

TIP: For the P8AM, it is easier to

connect the outlet tube to the bubbler if
the front nose is removed.

C: Mounting the frame to the wall

1. Place rubber gasket on top of the cooler so it is centered left/right
and against the wall.

2. Set the wall frame onto the gasket. Center it left/right and push it against
the wall and mark hole locations for wall fasteners. The gasket will set
the frame at the proper height.

Use mounting slots that
will provide the proper
securing location.

Make sure to pull
the plastic tubing
up through the hole
in the frame.

solenoid valve
inlet.

D: Attaching the Tether

5. Install bottle filler tether with the steps below.

Attach the tether line assembled to the bottle
filler dispense bracket to the cleat on the
mounting frame.

1.

Push loop through hole.

3.

2.

Put loop around one side
of the cleat.

4.

Pull loop around other
side of the cleat.

Pull tight.

17

Section 3D: Installation

The tether keeps the bottle filler secured to the frame when changing the
filter, if installed. Make sure the tether is installed properly to avoid
accidental damage to the unit.

6. Before the Bottle Filler cabinet is set into place, feed the terminals on
the power supply power cord and the long green ground wire through
the bushing on the cooler top.

7. Connect male terminals on the bottle filler power supply to female
terminals on power cord. Make sure that the power cord is firmly
connected to the power supply.

8. Attach the long green ground wire to cooler power cord ground located
on cooler frame or to electrical box ground.

9. MAKE SURE the cabinet fits into the groove in the rubber gasket on
both sides and front of the wrapper.

10. Attach Bottle Filler assembly to the frame using two (2) torx screws. If
you are going to change the electronics default settings, remove the
Top Cap and two (2) torx screws.

11. Plug bottle filler cord into the electrical outlet. The program should be
set up specific for that installation. See the program guide on next
page. Access programing Pushbutton through top of Bottle Filler.

12. Turn ON water supply and check for leaks. Place a container in the
alcove to release any trapped air from the system. Plug in the power
cord and replace the front panel.

13. If everything works correctly, place the Top Cap back on the Bottle
Filler and the two (2) torx screws to fasten it in place. Otherwise,
calibrate the sensor per the instructions on the next page.
