Read Before Proceeding Unlike most of our competitors, we’ve upgraded our installation kit to include a premium b Brass Tee Union Adapter, rather than the traditional selfpiercing saddle joint. R Step 3 Insert R drip tray & collector into the slot underneath the dispensers. 9 If, for any reason, you are unable to complete the installation using b , we recommend contacting us or a plumber prior to trying a self-piercing saddle valve.
Step 4 Gather pliers, A 25’ PVC tubing, b brass tee union adapter, and drill + drill bit (if hole is required and unavailable to connect watersource to Drinkpod). Step 5 Identify cold water line source.
Step 6 Twist cold water source valve clock-wise to turn off. Step 7 Unscrew (counterclockwise) kitchen sink faucet hose from cold water shutoff valve. Use pliers carefully if required to loosen tight connection.
Step 8 Screw b brass quick joint (clockwise) down onto cold water shutoff valve. Do not tighten with pliers more than 1/4 turn. 8 9 Step 10 Screw kitchen sink faucet hose (we unscrewed in step 7) onto the top of b brass quick joint (clockwise) . Do not tighten with pliers more than 1/4 turn. Step 9 Ensure b brass quick joint is closed.
Step 11 Unscrew compression nut from b quick connect adapter. Step 12 Thread A 25’ x 1/4” PVC tubing through b quick connect adapter’s compression nut.
Step 13 Firmly slide A 25’ x 1/4” PVC tubing over b quick connect adapter up to (but not overlapping) the threads. Step 14 Firmly screw the compression nut back on to b quick connect adapter. Do not tighten with pliers more than 1/2 turn.
Before You Continue Step 15 In our next steps, we will connect and setup your new Drinkpod. Before proceeding, please ensure that A 25’ x 1/4” PVC can reach from your water source to the Drinkpod. Ensure Drinkpod is located where you plan to use it, and that A 25’ x 1/4” PVC tubing has been laid so that it reaches M Water Inlet with at least several feet of slack. Should this require drilling holes along the path, please proceed with caution, and at your own risk.
Step 17 Step 16 Connect one end of new tubing section, into one end of C 1/4” Shutoff Valve, and free end of A 25’ x 1/4” PVC tubing, into the other end. Firmly push the tubing into the push-fitting until you cannot push it any further. Some resistance is normal. Use scissors or knie to cut approximately 1’ section off the end of A 25’ x 1/4” PVC tubing at a 90° angle. Step 18 Firmly pull outward on both ends of tubing, to extend quickgripping seals on shutoff valve. Ensure valve is closed.
Removing & Replacing Filters Step 19 Step 21 Open Y Drinkpod Cabinet Door to ensure Filters N , o , P , and Q are properly mounted. Firmly push the open end of new short tubing into M Cold Water Inlet, on the back of your Drinkpod until you cannot push it any further. STOP!!! Step 20 Firmly pull outward on new short tubing section to engage quick-gripping seals.
Step 22 To Remove: 1. Pull back filter pod. 2. Twist counter clockwise. 3. Gently pull filter out/down. Step 24 Step 23 To Replace: Open C 1/4” Shutoff Valve by twisting clockwise. 1. Gently insert filter upwards. 2. Twist clockwise. 3. Gently push filter back in/up.
Step 25 Open b quick connect adapter. Step 26 Open cold water source line.
Always Flush New Pre & Post Carbon Filters Prior To Use Step 28 Step 27 Plug in. Outlet should always be grounded. You must flush the pre-carbon and post carbon filters until they discharge clean water, to ensure any loose particulates are removed prior to using. This will take about 10 minutes. See page 25 for alternative method to extend filter life.
