1.0 INTRODUCTION
The VERTEX Pure Water Cooler products are a means to produce and dispense
good-tasting, safe water without using “bottles of stored water”.
The Pure Water Cooler taps into your city or well water supply to efficiently filter out tastes and odor, and to remove molecular contaminants by using reverse
osmosis technology: The Models are:
2000 and 3000 Model. These are 3-temperature units which provides room temperature filtered water, chilled (cold) water, nominally at 44ºF, and hot water, nominally at 180ºF. In addition, it has a re-boil function which brings the hot water to boil
temperature of 212ºF. There is also a room temperature spigot.
1000 Model. This is a two temperature unit which provides chilled water nominally at 44ºF and dispenses hot water at nominally 180ºF.
1010 Model. This provides chilled water at nominally 44ºF and room temperatures. No hot water is provided.
All three models are made as “R” or “F” versions. The “R” versions have reverse
osmosis filtration which makes good tasting, safe water from city or well water. This
consists of a 5-micron sediment filter, a carbon (GAC) 10-micron filter and a 50-gallon per day RO membrane. The filters remove sediment and dirt and the taste and
odor of chlorine and other contaminants. The reverse osmosis stage removes molecular contaminants from the water. The “R” version requires a drain line connection
to the drain trap to remove rejected water to the sewer.
The “F” version has the sediment and carbon filters, but not the RO membrane;
therefore, it does not require a drain line connection.
CAUTION: The filter version “F” must be used only with softened water or
water that has less than 3.5-grains of hardness to prevent scaling and premature
burnout of the heating elements.
There are 3 other models, all versions of the basic models described above:
500 Model. This is a countertop model of the Model 1000 2-
temperature system.
600 Model. This is a countertop model of the Model 2000 3-
temperature system.
1000R/F Model. This is a Model 1000 2-temperature model with a
0.5 cu. ft. refrigerator at the bottom of the cabinet
instead of a filter.
The above three models do not have filters; they require that the pure water be
made externally and supplied to the Pure Water Cooler. An option is available which
adds a filterpack system that can be mounted on the backside of the cooler.
Please read all the instructions in this manual before operating this unit.

2.0 RECEIVING THE COOLER
2.1 Unpacking (All Models)
The PureWaterCooler™ is shipped completely assembled and ready to operate.
Remove the top of the box and slide the PureWaterCooler™ out and save the box and
packing materials.
2.2 Inspection
Inspect the cooler for shipping damage. Look at the exterior panels to see if they
have been dented or damaged. Check the dispensing spigots in the front. Open the
bottom panel to assure that the filter system is intact. For Model 2000 only look
below the filter assembly in the back to see if the compressor is secure and has not
broken from the mounting. Inspect filter system to see that nothing is damaged or dislodged from shipping.
3.0 Description (Model 2000 and 3000)
3.1 Description
The assembly drawing is shown in Figure 1. The Model 2000/3000
PureWaterCooler™ has 3 tanks There is a main holding water tank with float valve mechanism which controls a solenoid valve on the water feed line to maintain a constant level
of filtered water. There is a separate hot tank with internal heaters and a cold tank, cooled
by external coils. The hot tank is at the top level of the cooler, and has a vent hole to permit hot water vapors to exit. The cold tank is lower inside the cabinet. Both tanks are fed
by gravity from the main holding tank. The controls for the cooler are on the front panel
as shown in Figure 1.
– 3–
The internal flow of water to the tanks and dispensers is shown in Figure 2. The
arrangement of the water filter system in the bottom of the cabinet is shown in Figure 3.
This is where ordinary city or well water is converted into good tasting, clean, safe
drinking water.

3.2 Positioning the Cooler
There are some precautions in locating and using the PureWaterCooler™. See
the items in Figure 4 below. In addition, the cooler must be located near the supply
water, and for the “R” version with reverse osmosis filter, there must be access to a
drain trap to which the reject water from the RO is delivered. Normally, this can be
found in a bathroom, or kitchen sink. Flexible 1/4-inch plastic tubing may be used
for the feed and discharge connections. Normally, these connections should be within 25-feet of the cooler.

Do not touch STEAM HOLE or open
HOT WATER TANK COVER while
dispenser is in use (Model 2000)
Be sure to use correct power voltage, plug dispenser’s power plug
directly into electrical socket.
Figure 4
Installation Precautions
Provide a minimum of 4 inches of
space between wall and dispenser
Do not put dispenser in a hot placenear stove or radiator. Do not put hot
plate on top lid, or lighted cigarette
