Installing the Water Cooler
Determine the best installation location. Consider customer preference, electrical outlet, and cold water line access.
WARNING: A pressure regulator must be installed in front of the unit’s water inlet if the water pressure (including any
possible pressure spikes) could exceed 100 psi (690 kPa). Failure to comply will void the warranty. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for damage caused by excessive water pressure. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
The unit should be within 15 feet (4.6m) of the source water supply and if applicable, other point-of-use systems. Leave
about four inches (10 cm) between the water cooler and the wall. Do not place near an open flame, radiator or heat source.
The water cooler is not recommended for outdoor use.
The Dual Float
The cooler is designed with a safety mechanism to prevent overfilling. In case the primary fill float fails, a second float is
activated as the water level rises. This float shuts off the water to the reservoir (Note: A hard impact or jarring of the unit
while it is filling may trip the safety float). To restart water flow, press the oval button bearing the OASIS logo on the top
of the cooler. The water pressure holds the safety float closed so this will relieve the pressure and water will flow into the
reservoir.
The In-Line Strainer
An in-line strainer has been inserted into the white tube connected to the fitting on the mechanical float valve. This protects
the float valve from malfunctioning due to sediment in the water. Periodic cleaning of the strainer may be required to
maintain water flow. It can be removed from the tube for cleaning or flush water in reverse flow through the strainer. It is
recommended that this be done at least as often as the filters are changed.
The Flow Monitor (POC2LR and POVC2LR models only)
This unit is equipped with a flow monitor to indicate when the filters should be changed. The rated number of gallons is
programmed through the display panel on the front of the unit, which is detailed on page 7. No message will be displayed
until the accumulated number of gallons reaches approximately 90% of the programmed number. At that point, the message
“CHANGE FILTER” will flash on the display. When the accumulated number of gallons reaches the programmed amount,
the message “CHANGE FILTER” will stop flashing and remain steady on the display. Once the monitor is reset (reference
page 7), the message will disappear.
The Baffle
The baffle separates the room temperature water from the chilled water in the stainless steel reservoir. It is shipped in a bag
inside the filter compartment. To install the baffle, remove the plastic cooler top by removing two ¼” hex head screws in the
back. Lift up on the stainless steel reservoir lid and set it aside. Note the notch in the lid flange lines up with the raised tab
on the left side of the reservoir. Line up the notched tab with the protruding tube at the back of the reservoir and drop it in
place. Line the notch on the reservoir lid with the tab on the reservoir and press in place. Replace the cabinet top by
positioning the back of it first and snapping the front in place. Tighten it down with the two screws removed earlier. To
remove the baffle after it is installed, remove the plastic cooler top and stainless reservoir lid, then lift the baffle up using the
elevated tab as a handle.
Hot Water Safety Faucet
The HOT water dispenser button is equipped with a child safeguard that reduces the risk of hot water being dispensed
accidentally or by small children. To dispense hot water, slide the red tab to the left and push down on the button.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised by an adult when using this product.
WARNING: Water is extremely hot and can cause burns or death from scalding. Children, the disabled and elderly
are at highest risk of being scalded. Use hot water faucet with extreme caution.
UV Light (included on POVC2LR models)
The POVC2LR model comes equipped with an in-reservoir UV light. When the cooler is plugged in, the UV light is on.
This helps reduce bacteria growth in the reservoir and keeps the water tasting fresh. The bulb life can be monitored through
