When installing the Willoughby Stainless Fountains' WODF Series drinking fountain system:
Before step 1 of the installation instructions, ensure that rough-ins are in the correct location.
The valve assembly, including the spray head, MUST NOT BE connected until after all lines have
been ushed to remove the small particles of debris that are inherent with new construction projects
and all chemicals that are used in ushing are purged from the system.
Chemicals used in ushing plumbing systems can attack the internal components of the valve and
spray head and severely damage them, so any ushing of the system must be followed by a full
ushing with pure water to clear any harsh chemicals remaining in the system. Debris in the system if
allowed to enter the valve assembly and spray head can cause poor performance or outright failure.
Again DO NOT attempt to connect the valve assembly and spray head until after all ushing is
complete and pure water is the only media that will be passing through the system. Damage to the
valve assembly or spray head caused by harsh chemicals or debris will not be covered by the
manufacturer's warranty�
Any ttings provided by the installer should be made of plastic to electrically isolate the unit from the
building or connected plumbing system.
The grounding of electric equipment such as telephones, computers, etc, to water lines is a common
procedure. This grounding can cause electrical feedback into a water fountain or similar xture,
causing electrolysis, which results in a metallic taste or an increase in the metal content of the water.
This can easily be avoided by using the proper materials as indicated.
