IMPORTANT:
- The output water temperature of a seltzer faucet or soda draft arm must be between 32 and 36 degrees F. If this temperature is not achieved the carbonation will be lost when the seltzer hits the glass at the high pressures of the carbonated water. Failure to have the seltzer cold will cause partial or total loss of carbonation.
- When using a flash chiller the stainless steel tubing which the seltzer lines are connected to must be either flared or fitted with our flare fitting kit to allow for the line clamps to hold under the 100 to 200psi of pressure in the seltzer line!
- When a flash chiller is used you should take advantage of the cold water pump to flow cold water along the seltzer tube from the chiller to the faucet or draft arm. This water should be returned to the return port of the chiller and all three lines well insulated to prevent both the cold water flow, cold water return and the chilled seltzer from warming up. This will allow for a constant supply of chilled seltzer even with extended periods on non use.
- Once a seltzer draft arm is wetted with water or seltzer it should never be allowed to dry out. If the leather washer dries out it will require replacement. See Washer Installation for instructions on replacing washers.

Note: The input water temperature of the faucet or draft arm must be between 32 and 34 degrees F. for the proper retention of carbonation when the seltzer or soda is poured. Failure to have the seltzer cold will cause partial to total loss of carbonation.
