Assembly Steps

1. Connect the water intake tube to the 'IN' port on the pump module. Ensure a secure connection using the quick-connect fitting.
2. Connect the water output tube to the 'OUT' port on the pump module. This tube will lead to your appliance (refrigerator, coffee maker, etc.).
3. Insert the long end of the water intake tube into the 5-gallon water bottle. Ensure the buoy/float mechanism is free to move within the bottle.
4. Connect the power adapter to the 'DC IN' port on the pump module, then plug the adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

Installation

The TDRFORCE Bottled Water System is designed for flexible installation, typically under a sink or in a cabinet adjacent to the appliance requiring water supply.

Connecting to Appliances

1. Identify the water inlet connection on your appliance (e.g., refrigerator ice maker, coffee machine).
2. Route the water output tube from the TDRFORCE pump module to the appliance's water inlet. Ensure the tubing is not kinked or pinched.
3. Securely connect the water output tube to the appliance's water inlet. Adapters may be required depending on your appliance's connection type.

Typical Applications

• Refrigerators with Ice Makers/Water Dispensers: Provides a dedicated bottled water supply, bypassing household plumbing.
• Coffee/Tea Machines: Ensures consistent water quality for brewing.
• Portable Water Stations: Can be used in various settings where a direct water line is unavailable.

Operating Instructions

1. Ensure the 5-gallon water bottle is full and the water intake tube is properly submerged.
2. Verify all connections are secure and leak-free.
3. Plug the power adapter into a 120V AC wall outlet. The illuminated on/off switch on the pump module will light up, indicating power is supplied.
4. Turn the pump module's on/off switch to the 'ON' position. The pump will activate and begin drawing water.
5. The system will automatically shut off when the water bottle is empty, indicated by the buoy/float mechanism.
6. To replace an empty bottle, turn the pump module's on/off switch to the 'OFF' position. Carefully remove the water intake tube from the empty bottle and insert it into a new, full bottle.
7. Turn the pump module's on/off switch back to the 'ON' position. The pump will restart automatically.

Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically inspect the water intake tube and pump connections for any mineral buildup or debris. Clean as necessary using mild soap and water.
• Tubing Inspection: Check the water tubing for any kinks, cracks, or signs of wear. Replace if damaged to ensure optimal performance and prevent leaks.
• Buoy/Float Check: Ensure the buoy/float mechanism inside the water bottle moves freely. A stuck buoy can prevent the automatic shut-off or restart function.
• Power Cord Inspection: Examine the power cord and adapter for any damage. Do not use if damaged.
