Required Tools & Materials

Booster pump Part # 720-0006

⅜” tubing (~6’)
Tube cutter
⅜” shutoff valve
⅜” stoppers

Phillips screwdriver or drill with phillips bit
Shop Towel/Shammy/Paper Towels

Task 1: Turning off Water to the Bevi Machine

NOTE: If the intention is to redeploy the Bevi at a later date, be sure to follow the instructions located in the [Guide] Storage, Test, and Redeployment of Bevi Machines document before proceeding.

Locate the Bevi unit.
Locate the water source by following the incoming water line:

Counter top models have the water line entering directly into the carbonator/chiller unit.
Water source shut offs are often located under a nearby sink or coming directly out of the wall near the unit. An example of one valve type is shown below.

Turn the water source shutoff valve to the “off” position.
Return to the Bevi.

Task 2: Releasing Pressure From Water Lines

After the water has been turned off, the next step is to turn off the carbonator/chiller.

For counter top units, the carbonator/chiller is located directly below the head unit in the cabinet space beneath (there are very few exceptions).
The carbonator on/off switch is green and is located on the side, near the power cord.
Once the carbonator/chiller is off, use the touchscreen to dispense still and sparkling water until there is no longer any water in the lines.

Task 3: Removing Co2 and Flavor BIBs

Disconnect flavor bibs from their associated bib connectors and dispose of all except for (2) bib boxes (internal bags should be removed and disposed of).
Neatly bunch up the bib connectors and place inside a bib box.
If necessary, disconnect all components of the Opt-Connect, remembering to remove the antenna from the back of Bevi. Place the antenna in a bib box and bring the Opt-Connect back to your warehouse for processing into inventory.
Dispense carbonated water until you get nothing but Co2 dispensing from the line.
Close valve of Co2 tank and release pressure from the regulator by pulling the pin.
Disconnect the Co2 tank from the regulator with your adjustable wrench.

Task 4a: Emptying the Carbonator Ice Bank With a Pump

NOTE: Bevi utilizes two different carbonator/chiller models. One has the connections on the top, which we will refer to here as “Top Connection” (PN: 300-0001) and the other has connections on the front, which we will refer to here as “Front Connection” (PN: 100052-01).

Front Connection Carbonator Top Connection Carbonator

Disconnect all tubing connecting the CT head unit to the carbonator:

Recirculation line
Sparkling water line
Still water line

Pull carbonator and carbonator drip tray out if needed.

Top Connection Carbonator

Remove the carbonator to the point where you can access the protective cover located on the top front that has two Phillips head screws located on either side.
Remove the cover.

Insert pump tubing into the carbonator’s ice bank and ensure tubing reaches the bottom of the carbonator.

NOTE: Before pumping, check to ensure that arrows are aligned on the pump for proper directional flow. Additionally, check to see if the opposite end of the pump tubing is ready in your bucket/sink.

Pump until completely empty. .

Front Connection Carbonator

Remove the carbonator to the point where you can access the front panel connections.
Disconnect “fill/empty ice bank” water line from the front of the carbonator.
Insert tubing of pump into “fill/empty ice bank” push connect insert.
To turn on the booster pump, plug it into an electrical outlet.

NOTE: Before pumping, check to ensure that arrows are aligned on the pump for proper directional flow. Additionally check to see if the opposite end of the pump tubing is pointing toward your bucket/sink.

Pump until completely empty.
