WaterPressureforFilling
Minimumpressureneededatthemachineis15psiDURINGthefill.ThisiscalledFLOWpressure.STATIC
pressurereadingscanbemisleadingandcandropto“0”duringfill.Withflowpressuresbelow15psi,
additionalmeasureswillbeneededtoresolvetheproblem.Thefirstsuggestionistorun
3/4"pipedirectly
fromthewaterheatertothedishmachine.Iftheproblempersists,installapressurebladdertankusedfor
domesticwellwater;a5gallonsizewouldbeaminimum,10gallonasamaximum.Anotheroptionistoorder
acamtimerwithlongercycletimesbut
thiswillreducehourlyproductionrates.

SimpleTestForWaterPressure
Emptythewateroutofthemachinebyliftingthedrainball,pushthemanualFILLbuttonwhilecountingthe
secondstofillbackuptothewaterleveldecal.Ifittakesmorethan20secondstofill,thereisnotenough
buildingpressuretooperatethemachineproperly.
DrainRequirements
Totherearofthemachineisfoundthedrain“Y”forthetubecomingfromthedrainpumpandthetank
overflow.DonotremovetheYfromtheback.Whenthedrainlineisrundownfrom18”offthefloor,theY
affordsprotectionfromoverflowandleakingwatersolenoidconditions.
