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.
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.

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.
3.3 Cooler Water Connections (See Fig.5) When received, the water connections on the back have color coded tube sections with red shipping plugs in them. These tube sections must be removed before making water connections. To remove the tube sections see figure 7 “Disconnect”. The 1/4" plastic tubing should be used for making the Feed Water and Drain connections. If hard copper tubbing is used for the Feed Water and Drain connections the bulkhead fittings must be changed to a metal fitting. .
3.4 Feed Water Connections To connect the feedwater, use the supplied self-piercing saddle valve to connect to the cold water supply line under the sink. Attach the 1/4-inch tubing to the compression fitting on the side of the valve. Clamp the saddle valve over copper or plastic feed line (cold water only). Turn the handle on the valve until the needle stem pierces the tube. Then retract the needle 1-2 turns to start water flow. See Photo inset.
The standard tubing connections on the PureWaterCooler™ are of quick-connect o-ring seal design. Use the tubing and follow the instructions below in Fig. 7 to make the connections. If you cut the tubing, make sure it is a square cut, fits squarely in the fitting and seals properly. Cut the tube square. “O” Ring Collet Stainless Steel Teeth Cut the tube square. It is essential that the outside diameter is free of score marks and that burrs and sharp edges be removed before inserting into fitting.
4.0 Operation 4.1 Start-Up Remove front cover by depressing lock tabs on front panel (see fig.1) and pulling forward. With the front cover off, turn the water on at the piercing valve. This brings water to the ball valve. Disconnect the orange tubing from the bottom of the 2nd stage carbon filter and place a pan or bucket underneath the filter to catch water. Open ballvalve inside the cooler 1/4-turn (handle in line with tube is "on").
4.3 Power Controls, Cold Water Function With the water level indicator showing the main tank full, start operation by producing cold water first. Drain some water from the cold tank through the dispensing spigot, to remove entrapped air-you may have to do this several times. Then press the “Cold Power” button on the front panel. The compressor will start and water will start chilling. CAUTION: IF YOU TURN COLD POWER OFF, WAIT AT LEAST 3-MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT ON AGAIN.
5.0 Model 1000 and 1010 Description 5.1 Model 1000 and 1010 The Model 1000 provides water at 2-temperatures , dispensed from two spigots, “hot” and “cold”. The assembly drawing is shown in Figure 8. Water flows from the filter system into the top tank which is also the cold water tank. This tank then feeds the hot tank by gravity. The level in the cold water tank is controlled by a valve and float ball assembly in the tank. The Model 1010 provides only cold & room temperature water.
5.4 Start-Up Flush Open lower front door to access filter assembly, turn the water on at the piercing valve. This brings water to the ball valve. Disconnect the orange tubing from the bottom of the 2nd stage carbon filter and place a pan or bucket underneath the filter to catch water. Open ballvalve inside the cooler 1/4-turn (handle in line with tube is “on”). and let water flow through filters into the bucket or pan to push out air and carbon fines.
5.5 Tank Flush Flush tanks out by draining all water through the (1) drain plug located on the back of the cooler. Let the tanks fill again with the filtered water. When full, drain water again through the drain ports located on the back as well as through the dispensing spigots. When the tank has filled again automatically with filtered water the cooler is ready to dispense water.
6.0 Other Models 6.1 Model 500 This is a countertop version of the Model 1000, a 2-temperature cooler previously described in section 5.0. It does not have space for the filter package, therefore purified water must be supplied to it. An optional filter which can be attached to the back of the unit can be ordered. (Option FP) This filter system has sediment and 2-carbon stages. 6.2 Model 600 This is a countertop version of the Model 2000, 3-temperature cooler previously described In Section 3.0.
7.0 Options Options/Accessories to the cooler are described below. 7.1 UV Stage An additional stage after the filters is available for all models. The UV stage provides a UV light which disinfects the water. This option is installed at the factory as an additional stage of the filter system. The UV light must be replaced once per year. 7.2 Automatic Sanitization Module This module generates ozone from the air and dispenses the ozone into the water tank periodically on a time cycle to sanitize the system.
f) Place new filters in the plastic holding clips. Make the tubing connections into the fittings. BUT DO NOT CONNECT THE OUTLET TUBING OF THE 2ND STAGE CARBON FILTER. g) Open ball valve and let water flow through filters into a bucket or pan to push out air and any carbon fines. When water runs clear, turn off ball valve and connect 2nd stage filter to outlet line (orange). h) After all connections are made, turn on ball valve and water flow to the water dispenser will resume.
9.0 Cleaning and Maintenance These instructions apply tto the model 2000, 3000 and 600 specifically, but can be applied to other models. 9.2 Remove the top cover, hot water tank cover and the water outlet tube on main water tank. Drain all remaining water inside hot water tank and main water tank by pressing hot and warm water release levers. Use a deep bowl to catch water flowing from valves. Clean main water tank. Sanitize as in section 9.4. 9.
10.0 Trouble Shooting PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION No Power No electric current flowing. Water keeps on boiling (Model 2000) REBOIL button was pressed several times Heating cycle is more frequent than normal. Cold Water not cold enough. Too little water in hot water tank. Refill main water tank. Check sockets/outlet for electric current. Check plugs, power Unit shuts off power automatically cords for improper connections. when main water tank is empty.
