Please follow these instructions as part of a temporary closure of up to 8 weeks. This advice is based on British Soft Drinks Association (BSDA) guidelines. It is important that you follow each step of the guide to uphold the quality of the product served to your guests. Cleaning the equipment at the start of the temporary shut down and again before reopening for business is a vital part of the process, in conjunction with maintaining your own personal hygiene. Prior to commencing any cleaning please ensure you have washed your hands correctly for a minimum of 20 seconds, as recommended by the current Government guidelines.
If you anticipate a closure in excess of 8 weeks Britvic will supply further supporting material on how you can restart your postmix equipment. We believe this will take an average of 90 minutes (after the cooler has built an ice bank) depending on the system set up (number of dispense points and products etc). Please follow the same shut down steps below (points 1-5) but ensure that the postmix cooler is switched OFF (point 1) at the power socket in this scenario.
Leave mains power ON (less than 8 weeks shut down) but turn CO2 and the water supply OFF. Turn mains power OFF if anticipating in excess of 8 weeks shut down.

Clean the valves, then refit all nozzles and diffusers. DO NOT leave in soak
Flush all drip trays with clean water
The system can be left in this clean state for up to 8 weeks. The dispense heads can be turned off in the normal way via key switch or the transformer.
