Sincerely,
Thanks again for your business, and we hope that you will enjoy your new AquaTran!
To ensure your complete satisfaction with your new AquaTran, please read all installation and usage instructions carefully. AquaTran handles heavy bottles of water and has many moving parts. It should not be operated by children. We invite you to contact us with any questions or comments about the product.
Incorporating AquaTran into your kitchen design is simple. The unit fits easily into standard kitchen cabinets offered by most major cabinet manufacturers. For detailed cabinet dimensions and minimum structural requirements, please visit our website at www.aquatranproducts.com. Your AquaTran has been designed to work with most water coolers currently offered by major dispenser manufacturers that are equipped with a probe to pierce the bottle seal. Bottles used with AquaTran should have probe-ready caps.
The AquaTran system permits you to store one or more full bottles at the point of use, occupying no floor space. This keeps your bottles in a clean, sanitary environment and reduces multiple handlings of the bottle.
Thank you for choosing AquaTran, the kitchen cabinet accessory that loads full five-gallon bottles of water onto your dispenser unit. In addition to eliminating the need for you to lift and rotate 45 pounds of water, the AquaTran system allows you to hide your water cooler from view in order to preserve the beauty of your kitchen design.
