Model PWEBQ and PWF2EBQ (retro fit)
and PG*EBQ Family of Drinking
Fountains/Bottle Filler combo
Installation Instructions
The Hands-Free Bottle Filler mounts directly above Versacooler® I and II
products. If the cooler electrical 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 Bottle Filler. Otherwise, room temperature water will be dispensed.
The Bottle Filler is shipped partially assembled.
On the combo units, the cooler is plumbed and ready to attach to the Bottle
Filler.
When completed, the finished assembly will look like this:

Section 3A: Installation
Note: Proceed to Section 3B Step 5 “Final steps for both product families” if
the cooler is purchased “Quasar Bottle Filler or 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 Bottle Filler to an existing
cooler, follow the instructions starting on page 11.
For the single “Bottle Filler ready” cooler, the tube to connect to the Bottle
Filler is found inside the access panel (the compressor compartment). This
tube supplies cold water from the cooling tank to the Bottle Filler.
¼” OD tube to connect
to Versafiller
For split level “Bottle Filler ready” coolers, the tube to plumb in the Bottle
Filler 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.

Page 10
The tee and tube to the Bottle Filler are packaged with the PWEBQ unit.
One branch of the tee will supply the valve on the dummy unit, the other
branch of the tee will connect to the Bottle Filler.
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 Bottle
Filler 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.

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.
Connects to the
solenoid valve

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.

Section 3: 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.

10. Attach Bottle Filler assembly to the frame using two (2) torx screws.
Remove the Top Cap and two (2) torx screws used for mounting.
11. Plug bottle filler cord into the electrical outlet. The bottle filler will
auto-calibrate and be set up specifically for that installation. Refer to
the program guide on next page for further programming. 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.
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.
