Before installing your water dispenser it is important to find a
good location. Following the points listed below will provide the best
location for your water dispenser.
1. There needs to be adequate room for a customer to place a
bottle in the water dispenser for rinsing and filling.
2. Plan for electrical and plumbing requirements for the water
dispenser. The Pre-Installation Preparation section in the
Installation section of this guide explains the electrical and
plumbing requirements in detail. The most critical component of
the installation, in regards to plumbing, is the floor drain location.
A wall drain may be your only option. If a wall drain is used, be
sure there is sufficient slope to follow local plumbing codes. If a
floor or wall drain is not accessible, a pump out tank option is
available to pump water to a drain in another remote location.
3. Good lighting is required to make sure the water dispenser can
be operated properly. Lighting may be added to an installation
location easier than plumbing or floor drains.
4. An open area that can be kept clean and maintained is important
when considering the location for your water dispenser. The
installation location should not be near an overhead door.
5. The water dispenser area should be in the general traffic flow of
your store for optimum exposure.
