Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of our revolutionary Bottle-less Water Cooler! Our coolers are all designed to replace the conventional 5 gallon water bottle while eliminating the hassles of deliveries, lifting bottles and eliminating plastic bottles from landfills. Our coolers are designed to produce pure great tasting water for the whole family that is clean and safe to drink.
Receiving the Cooler Unpacking Global Water products are shipped completely assembled and ready to operate. Remove the top of the box and slide the water cooler out and save the box and packing materials. 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.

Operation When installation is complete, the unit will fill up with water and shut off when the tanks are full. Plug the unit in to an outlet and press the cold/hot faucets until a steady stream of water comes out. Figure 2. Faucet operation *Make sure the tanks are filled with water before continuing to the next step. Turn on the hot/cold switches located on the back of the cooler. Both hot/cold elements will begin chilling and heating the water inside the unit.

Positioning the Cooler 1) It is not recommended to install this cooler in an area were water may cause severe or costly damage. 2) Do not position the cooler where it can be hit or bumped by Vacuum cleaners or floor waxing machines. This can cause breaks in the waterline, connection fittings and compressor tubing.
Water Cooler Connections When you receive the water cooler, the water connections on the back have of the cooler have tube plugs in them. These tube sections must be removed before making all your connections. To remove the tube sections see figure 7 “Disconnect”. The 1/4" plastic tubing should be used for making the Feed Water. The drain connection for (RO) models will come off the separate filter pack.
Feed Water Connections To connect the feed water, 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.
Drain Connection (Applies to models with Reverse Osmosis “RO” only) The drain line in the back (Fig. 4) must be hooked to the drain line ahead of the normal sink water trap. See Figure 5 below. Place the 2 part drain saddle on the drain pipe before the drain trap. Allow proper space for the drilling operation. Tighten the saddle bolts evenly on both sides. Using the opening in the drain outlet saddle as a guide, drill a 1/4” hole in the drain pipe. Clean any debris out of the drain saddle connection.
EZ Connections The standard tubing connections on the water coolers are EZ connect fittings. 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.
Start-Up Flush If you order our (ro) model you will receive a large white tank and a separate box that containers the filter pack. Unpack both of these and set them up near the cooler. Our (f) models do not have the tank. Now you have to connect the water line to the filter pack which can be found on water feed connections page. When the water runs off the last filter connect one tube to the white tank and the other tube to the back of the cooler.
Tank Flush Flush tanks out by draining all water through the (1) drain plug located on the back of the cooler and drain water through the dispensing spigots. Fill and empty the tanks 3 times with the filtered water, this ensures great tasting water. When the tank has filled again with filtered water the cooler is ready to dispense water. You may now turn on the Hot and Cold buttons on the back of the machine. NOTE: You should always turn on the Hot and Cold elements when they have water inside the tanks.
Cleaning and Maintenance 15 | P a g e
Sanitize Fill main water tank with water. Add 1-2 teaspoons of liquid chlorine bleach. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. Drain the water then let water from filters refill tank and drain a second time. Remember to drain from dispensing spigots also. Note: Upon completion of cleaning, wait at least 10 minutes after the power cord is plugged in before turning on the Hot and Cold Water buttons.
Filter Replacement The filter elements must be replaced at regular intervals to maintain the quality of the water. The G5CTF has 3-stages of mechanical filtration. 1st stage 5micron sediment filter, 2nd stage activated carbon filter and a 3rd stage post carbon filter. The filter elements in all stages must be replaced every 6 months. The G5CTRO model has the 3-stages of filtration plus an additional Reverse Osmosis membrane filter. The 3 pre filters must be replaced every 6 months.
Reverse Osmosis Membrane Replacement RO versions (RO) (every 3 years) a) Use the same procedure as above sec a-c. b) Remove the RO stage from the clips. Disconnect the white tubing from the RO housing cap. c) Remove the cap from the housing by unscrewing it. d) Using a pair of pliers, remove the RO element from the housing by grasping the tube end and pulling it out. e) Use RO filter replacement P/N CSM50 (50gpd).
