Water purification made easy Intuitive to use, ergonomic handset design

Clear water purity display for absolute confidence as you dispense

Flexible dispensing in four different ways: Realtime TOC

monitoring for critical

• Variable flow – drop by drop or up to 2 liters per minute

analytical applications

• Autovolume dispense from 50ml to 60 liters and repeat dispensing Prioritized information

• Hands free with optional foot pedal shown at all times (system

• Locked dispense for glassware filling status, TOC, alarm)

POU filters for

multiple applications

• Remove endotoxins, DNase, RNase and bacteria

• Conforms to international water standards e.g. CLSI, CLRW, ISO 3696: Grade 1,2,3, ASTM

D1193-06, Pharmacopeia USP, EP and JP

Optional accessories

• Wall mounting bracket

• Foot pedal

• Thermal printer

• Point of Use filters

• Leak sensor
