Service manual
INSTALL OVER FLOW DRAIN LINE
1. Rout drain hose or connect hose on CR-UC# unit with drain using 1/2” I.D. clear plastic
pipe or 1/2” copper or PVC to nearest outlet or floor sink to capture over flow upon start-
up and for drain out of water bath for maintenance. If running to a floor sink run drain to
local plumbing codes.
2. Do not reduce drain connection from cabinet outlet.
3. Water may drain from drain hose until ice bank has been completely made (2-3 hour for
ice bank to form after initial start-up).
4. The over flow drain hose primarily functions to drain water at the initial startup as the ice
banks forms in the water bath and displaces the water level, pushing water up and out
the over flow tube, and after that point, the unit will not drain water.
CONNECTING WATER INLET
WATER PIPE CONNECTIONS AND FIXTURES DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO
POTABLE WATER SUPPLY SHALL BE SIZED, INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED
ACCORDING TO FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LAWS.
The water connection on the CR-UC2 and CR-2 is made to a flexible water line by means of a
3/8”, male flare. Due to the large capacity of the pump, any restriction of the incoming fresh
water supply would starve the water pump and create noise within the pump, poor carbonation
and extremely long running time.
After all primary water lines are made up, but prior to connecting water supply to cabinet, be
sure to thoroughly flush all incoming water lines to remove all scale and any impurities that may
be in the lines. It is important to remember that the CR has a carbonator capacity of a minimum
of 100 gallons per hour. Therefore, it is imperative that the fresh water conduit has not less
than 3/8” I.D. passageway for any distance greater than ten feet from the CR. It can be
reduced to 3/8” O.D., copper tubing and connected to the water inlet connection with-in ten feet
of the CR. All water inlet connections are clearly tagged.
