Introduction

Puretec Customer Service

Thank you for purchasing a Puretec Sparq S4 Drinking Water Appliance. The Sparq S4 is a proven performer manufactured from only quality materials and components. It will give years of reliability and trouble-free operation if maintained properly.

Caution: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or without adequate

disinfection before or aer the system.

The Puretec Sparq S4 is designed for metropolitan supply water only.

Puretec Drinking Water Appliances are designed to run economically for many years and this is dependent on the initial installation and periodic maintenance.

Flush system for 5 minutes or more, aer any period of non-use, more than 2 weeks.

Note: Where maximum line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, the supplied multivalve must be installed to comply with Australian Plumbing Standards.

Pre-Installation

Before Installation

Read the instructions and check if there is adequate space to mount all of the components.

Check the mains water pressure is between 172 - 500kPa.

NOTE: This product must be connected to MAINS WATER ONLY.

Check the appliance rating plate and ensure correct power is available for the appliance.

Check the under counter cupboard supporting the appliance is adequate for the total net weight of 24kg (including the gas bottle).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Ensure there is adequate ventilation available through the cupboard. If there is inadequate ventilation, and the cupboard temperature rises to above 40°C, the system may become damaged and malfunction which will void the product warranty. To

ensure there is sucient cross-ow ventilation suitable holes or vents will need to be cut

into the cupboard and door.

Installation

Installation Procedure

VERY IMPORTANT! These installation steps are VERY important and must be

followed in the correct sequence. Remove all packaging before installation including tubes on the back of the unit (see Fig.4 for how to remove tubes).

1. Select a suitable position for the tap so that it dispenses into the sink bowl with ample clearance below the outlet and drill a 26 mm hole (max 30 mm).

2. Isolate water supply. Uninstall the connections on the cold water line and connect the Smart Tee™. Reinstall the previous connection to the tee valve.

3. Connect the Multivalve to the Smart Tee™ with a length of BLUE tubing. Please see

Fig.3 for water ow direction.

4. Connect the Straight Connector to the White Tube connected to the tap (see Fig.3).

5. Remove the black plastic nut from the tap thread and connect the Wiring Loom to the tap (see Fig.3).

6. Feed the Straight Adaptor and Wiring Loom through the tap hole and place tap into position.

7. Screw the tap nut and tighten making sure the tap is correctly positioned on top. Fixing the tap to a sink may require more care to align all parts. Note: For thin bench tops or a sink mount, use the supplied spacer, slipping it up the thread, followed by the black nut to tighten.

8. Choose the best position for the unit with required 150 mm clearance for ventilation

to the rear and top of the unit. Remember to allow access room for changing lters

and a suitable place where water spillage will not cause damage.

9. With a length of BLUE tubing (enough length to pull out of the cupboard to change

lters if not enough height), connect the Multivalve to the inlet at the back of the unit (see Fig.3). Note: If cupboard space does not permit enough space for lter changes, leave enough tube length to allow the lter system to come out of the cupboard to change the lters.

10. With a length of WHITE tubing, connect the straight adaptor to the water outlet.

Installation

11. Attach the Wiring Loom from the tap to the unit (see Fig.3).

12. Connect the power cord (DO NOT TURN POWER ON).

DO NOT turn on the water/and or power supply, this will be done in Step 22-26 of

Cold/Ambient Water Startup on Page 10.

13. Position the CO2 bottle as close to the unit as possible, ensuring the bottle is upright.

NOTE: Bottles should always be upright during storage and transit. If the bottle

has been le horizontal, place upright and let stand for 60 minutes for contents

to settle before initialising. The SPARQ-CO2 is NOT rellable.

14. Ensure regulator is o by turning the shut-o valve into the closed position.

15. Connect the CO2 bottle to the regulator. Screw the regulator on rmly (warning: some

CO2 will escape as the valve in the bottle is depressed).

16. Attach the BLACK tube to the CO2 connection at the back of the unit and CO2 bottle

(See Fig.2).

DO NOT open the regulator, this will be done in Step 27 of Soda/Sparkling Water

Startup on page 11.

17. Double check all tubes have been connected properly.

18. Check all plumbing ttings have been tightened and all tubing is connected rmly.

19. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit (150 mm).

20. Check all tubes from the undersink unit to the tap, ensure there are no sags or kinks in

the hoses, and any tube sag is minimised as it can cause ow to be reduced.

How To Use Quick Connect Fittings

Installation

1. Cut the tube square and push in to the tube stop. For metal tube remove burrs and chamfer tube end to prevent O-Ring seal being damaged.

3. Tube is secured in position.

2. Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed in to tube stop.

DISCONNECTION PROCEDURE

4. Push collet against body and

slide tube out of tting.

21. Check all electrical connections are correct and there are no loose wires.

COLD/AMBIENT WATER

22. Turn on the water and check for leaks.

23. Allow tank to ll for 5 minutes.

24. Turn on the power supply at the power point - tap should light up and aer a minute

all lights on the tap will be blue.

25. Flush the lters by pressing on the cold button on the tap rst for 1 minute and

followed by the ambient button for another minute (it is normal for black nes, cloudiness or micro-bubbles to come through). To activate water ow, press the button

once and the ring light on the top goes green, then press the button again for water

ow.

26. Turn on the COLD power switch on the back of the chiller. The chilling indicator on

Installation

the front panel of the unit will turn o once the correct temperature is reached. The

temperature is preset to 4-10 degrees. It takes up to 20 minutes.

SODA/SPARKING WATER

27. Ensure CO2 bottle is connected rmly to the regulator and the gas tube is tted.

28. Turn on the SODA power switch on the back of the chiller.

29. Open the regulator valve.

30. Turn o the water supply at the inlet (Smart Tee™ valve).

31. Purge the Soda line for 1-2 minutes by pressing on the Sparkling Button on the tap

until the water ow stops and only CO2 comes out.

32. Restore the water supply and allow 1-2 minutes for the lines to rell.

33. Operate the Sparkling Button on the tap (approx. 15 sec.) until excess CO2 excess has been dispensed.

34. Your Puretec system is now ready for use. It may require an hour or two for the

sparkling water to reach full "zz".

NOTE: A small amount of water will come out aer using the Sparkling feature for

1-2 seconds. This is normal as the CO2 is purged from the line.
