Installing water coolers
General Installation:
The installation of a Point-Of-Use water cooler is carried out by our European Point of Use Drinking Water Association trained Engineers. The process is carried in the following stages:
1. A site survey is carried out by our qualified engineers and any specific instructions noted.
2. All water coolers are to be located within 20 metres of running mains water and within 1 meter of a mains electricity supply.
3. Before any work is started the mains water supply isolation valve is located.
4. A position is identified in which to locate the compression T-piece containing an isolation valve. 5. Working from the cooler location to the position of the T-piece the pipe work route is plotted identifying any hazardous areas. For example, radiators, electrics etc. This process is in accordance with the previous site survey.
6. At a point of approximately 1 metre from the water cooler a John Guest shut off valve and reduce coupling is attached to piping.
7. Microbore piping is attached to the reducer coupling enabling a secure microbore connection to the cooler a latter stage.
8. Attach inline isolation valve to the microbore piping in off position at water cooler end.
9. The mains water is turned off and drained down for specific water cooler area.
10. The pipe work is pierced and a compression t-piece and a water block are attached securely. The water block contains a non-return valve and leak detector valve.
11. The pipe work is attached to the water block and the mains water is turned back on.
12. The isolation valve at the cooler end is turned on and a sufficient amount of water is run off in to a bucket to release any air locks.
13. The water cooler is then plugged into the mains electricity supply and the stat is turned on.
14. The water coolers are then sanitised using an ozone generator, whilst by-passing the filter.
15. Post sanitisation the microbore piping is inserted to the water inlet 15mm compression coupling reducer.
16. Water is then dispensed from the cooler for an adequate period until any air locks are clear.
