NEW: HOW TO REDUCE CHILLER BREAKDOWNS & MAINTAIN ICE BANKS
Taking care of Bevi chillers and ice banks helps to ensure your machines always run smoothly. Here are some tips for the next time you service The Countertop or The Standup 1.5 (and previous models):
- Make sure the chiller thermostat is set to 5. On The Countertop and The Standup 1.5 (including previous models), the chiller temperature is set on a scale of 1-7 (with 7 representing the coldest setting and 1 the warmest). The setting is controlled via a dial on the front or side of the chiller. A chiller set above 5 has an increased risk of freezing due to varying environmental conditions. The overproduction of ice can cause tubing to expand and possibly crack, risking a leak. The 5 setting ensures that water is sufficiently cold while also decreasing the risk of a leak.
- Top off the ice bank by following the steps in this guide. This should be done at least every 6 months during preventative maintenance, which will prevent damage to the carbonator and facilitate proper cooling of the water.
- Read this guide to properly diagnose and repair frozen ice banks.

REMINDER: WATER FILTER FLUSH REQUIREMENT & VALVE RETROFIT
3M has redesigned their water filter, which requires a new filter to be flushed in order to remove the carbon particles. To avoid these carbon particles from entering the water flow and causing potential clogged water valves and leaks, please follow the new procedures below:
The Countertop and The Standup 1.5 (and previous models)
- Flush the new water filter with 3 gallons of water OUTSIDE of the machine in order to remove the carbon particles.
The Standup 2.0
- Use the included Filter Flush Valve (FFV) to flush the new filter with 3 gallons of water inside the machine by opening a path for the water to exit the machine.
- For machines produced before Sept 2022:
- Bevi has proactively sent the required FFV kits
- A machine alert will appear in the Service Panel and on The Well
- Please reference this installation guide for complete steps on how to perform a filter flush retrofit
IMPORTANT REMINDER: REPLACE WATERBLOCKS
Waterblocks help reduce the severity of potential leaks. To identify units that need an updated waterblock on The Well use the Machine Alerts filter and select Waterblock Fitting Retrofit. Reference this instructional video to learn how to perform this 5-minute upgrade.
