The finished look

Locating the Down Rod Most POU coolers have an in-reservoir float system that is covered with a bonnet like this model. Careful thought must be given to the placement of the downrod. The downrod must not interfere with the float action and must fit under the bonnet. Additionally the baffle may need to be notched in order to accommodate the downrod reaching the bottom of the reservoir. Our placement will be at the back of the float plate. Be certain that the Downrod will not interfere with float. The manufacturer has already notched the baffle for us.

Installing the Downrod Locate the spot where the downrod will enter the reservoir. Drill a 3/16” hole and remove any burrs that the drill left behind. Insert silicone grommet from the top of the float plate into the new hole. Make sure the silicone grommet is fully inserted into the hole.

Installing the Downrod Insert Downrod through Grommet Push Downrod 90° elbow meets Grommet The completed Downrod should look like this Attach Air Diffuser to Downrod using a 1” section of Tubing.

Installing the Downrod Install finished assembly into reservoir making sure to line up Downrod in baffle Downrod may need to be adjusted up or down in order to position air diffuser near bottom of reservoir. Downrod installed

Installing Check Valve & Air Filter The check valve must be installed with the air flow pointing away from the main unit and toward the reservoir. Cut a 5” section of hose and attach it to downrod as shown. Attach other end of downrod hose to the top of the check valve Attach the remaining long section of hose to the bottom of the check valve. The air filter can be placed in-line between the air pump and the SIP unit or it can be positioned in-line between the SIP unit and the check valve. (servicing convenience would determine location)

Finishing Up Now it’s time to mount the Main Control Box. Us the supplied zip ties to secure unit to the condenser. Remember to leave access to other cooler components such as the hot tank on / off switch and the cold thermostat. Attach the loose hose from the check valve to the top outlet of the Main Control Box. Attach hose from Air Pump outlet to bottom inlet of Main Control Box. Mount Air Pump above or below the Main Control Box using zip ties provided. Air filter can be located in-line between air pump and Main Control Box
