## How to Change an Arrowhead Water Dispenser
### Materials You’ll Need
– New Arrowhead water bottle
– Empty bucket or container
– Clean cloth or sponge
– Screwdriver (optional)
### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Remove the Empty Bottle
– Locate the empty water bottle and grasp the handle.
– Slowly pull the bottle straight up and out of the dispenser.
2. Empty Excess Water
– If there is any residual water in the base of the dispenser, gently tip it into an empty bucket or container.
3. Clean the Base
– Use a clean cloth or sponge to wipe down the base of the dispenser where the bottle rests. This will remove any dirt or debris that could contaminate the new bottle.
4. Insert the New Bottle
– Remove the cap from the new Arrowhead water bottle.
– Hold the bottle upside down and insert it into the base of the dispenser.
– Ensure that the bottle is securely in place and not tilted.
5. Push the Bottle Down (Optional)
– For some Arrowhead dispensers, you may need to use a screwdriver to push the bottle down fully.
– Locate the small screw located at the back or bottom of the dispenser.
– Slowly turn the screw clockwise using the screwdriver until the bottle is fully seated.
6. Connect the Tube (Optional)
– If your Arrowhead dispenser has a tube that connects the bottle to the dispenser, make sure it is properly connected.
– Locate the tube and insert one end into the bottle and the other end into the dispenser.
7. Prime the Dispenser
– Turn on the water dispenser and allow it to dispense a few cups of water.
– This will prime the dispenser and remove any air from the lines.
8. Disinfect the Dispenser (Optional)
– To ensure proper hygiene, you can choose to disinfect the water dispenser before using it.
– Follow the disinfection instructions provided by the manufacturer or use a mild chlorine solution.
9. Enjoy Fresh Water
– Once the dispenser is fully primed and disinfected, you can enjoy fresh, cold Arrowhead water.

– Keep the dispenser in a cool, dry area to extend its lifespan.
