Cooler Installation:
The European Point of Use Water Distribution Association (EPDWA) provides formal Hygiene
Awareness and Installation training courses. All staff involved in the installation and sanitising of POU
water coolers for an EPWDA member company must receive this training.
The purpose of this training program is to provide an overview of POU systems offered by OASIS and
an introduction to the basic guidelines that should be followed when installing an OASIS water cooler
onto an existing mains water system.
It is recommended that all companies undertake the necessary EPDWA training courses to help maintain
the professional image of the industry
A documented site survey must be conducted prior to installing a cooler in a facility. Copies of all
surveys should be held at the installer’s premises. The purpose of the survey is to ensure that the cooler
is installed in a suitable location.
The general guidelines below should be followed:
• The cooler must be located on a floor that is smooth, level and easily cleaned.
• Do not locate the cooler in direct sunlight.
• Do not locate the cooler next to a radiator.
• Do not locate the cooler within or directly adjacent to toilet facilities.
• Do not locate the cooler in constantly damp areas, beneath dripping pipes, or where water may
collect underfoot.
The survey should examine the following:
• Location of electrical supply
o The cooler should be installed no more than 2 meters from the nearest electrical socket.
o It should be possible to access the plug when the cooler is in its final position
• Location of potable mains water supply
o The cooler must be attached to a potable mains water source
o The length of small bore tubing (usually ¼”) used to connect the cooler to the mains
water supply should be kept to a minimum and must not exceed 20 meters.
o If the planned cooler location is more than 20 meters from the connection point to the
mains supply, then a new mains water feed will have to be added to the supply
Fittings:
All fittings and pipework used to attach the water cooler to the mains water supply must be approved to
the relevant local standards. It is recommended that fittings approved to the Water Supply (Water
Fittings) regulations in the UK are used. Such fittings will be approved by WRAS or KIWA.
These fittings can be purchased from OASIS or OASIS can refer you to reputable suppliers of Point-of-
Use parts in your market place.
