How to Install a Crysalli Premix Tank for Your Coffee Bar

Quick answer

Install your Crysalli 5-gallon premix tank by connecting the ball lock coupler to your system's water line, securing the tank in a stable location, and purging air before first use.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Step 1: Position the Tank: Place the Crysalli premix tank on a clean, level surface near your water system. Ensure the area is dry and free of obstructions. The ball lock coupler should face outward for easy access. Common mistake: Placing the tank on an uneven surface can cause stress on the coupler and lead to leaks. Double-check with a level.
2. Step 2: Connect the Ball Lock Coupler: Wrap Teflon tape around the male threads of your water line's fitting, then attach the ball lock coupler to the tank's inlet. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for an additional quarter turn—do not overtighten. Common mistake: Overtightening can crack the coupler's plastic housing. Stop as soon as you feel firm resistance.
3. Step 3: Secure the Water Line: Connect the water supply line from your filtration system or direct water source to the ball lock coupler's barbed or threaded end. Use a hose clamp if needed to prevent slipping. Checkpoint: Verify the line is snug but not kinked. A kinked line restricts flow and can cause pressure buildup.
4. Step 4: Purge Air from the System: Open the water supply valve slowly. Allow water to fill the tank until it reaches the recommended level (usually marked on the side). Open a downstream faucet or brew valve to release trapped air. Common mistake: Skipping the purge can introduce air pockets that cause sputtering or inconsistent water flow during brewing.
5. Step 5: Test for Leaks: Inspect all connections—coupler, line fittings, and tank seals—for drips or moisture. Tighten any loose connections gently. Let the system sit under pressure for 10 minutes, then recheck. Checkpoint: If you see a persistent drip, disassemble the connection, reapply Teflon tape, and reassemble. Never use pipe dope on plastic threads.
6. Step 6: Integrate into Daily Workflow: Once leak-free, incorporate the tank into your coffee bar routine. Monitor water levels daily and refill before the tank runs dry to prevent air from re-entering the system. Checkpoint: Schedule a weekly visual inspection of the ball lock coupler for wear or cracking, especially if you disconnect it frequently for cleaning.
