Water Requirements
The best type of water for coffee brewing is normal hard (tap) water. If your
location has chemically softened water, you should do one of the following
things:
Have a non-softened supply line run to the merchandiser
Contact your local water filter supplier for information and suggestions
Well water can also be used in the Hot Drink Center. However,
you should have it checked for levels of carbonates and alka
-
lies. Contact your water filter supplier if these values are rela-
tively high.
What is the Water Pressure at Your Location?
It should be no less than: 10 psi ( 69.0 KPa) at 1/2 gallon/minute
And no more than: 80 psi (522.0 KPa) at 1/2 gallon/minute
If you're not sure about the pressure and flow rate, check with your water com-
pany.
What to do With the Water Supply Line:
Locate the supply line at the rear of your merchandiser.
Equip the line with a shut-off valve.
Flush the water supply line before connecting it to the merchandiser. A mini-
mum of five gallons is usually required before connecting the merchandiser to
the supply line. DO NOT flush the merchandiser water system. If you do, you
might introduce water line contaminants into the merchandiser.
