Water Purification technology employs one or more of the following: Chemicals, electrical devices, mercury vapor lamps, steam and heated vessels. Care should be taken when installing, operating or servicing Barnstead Products. Listed below are the specific safety notes pertinent to the Barnstead E- pure.
50 Hz 1.3 lpm ® [1] E-pure will produce Type I water using pretreated water (RO, DI, Distilled) or high quality tap water, provided feedwater suitability is qualified by laboratory analysis and recommended faucet flowrate is maintained. [2] Flowrates are dependent on operating conditions and filter usage. Flowrates will also depend on filter compaction.
Precautions Before Installation The E-pure® deionization system can be used on pretreated or high quality tap water. Some municipal tap water supplies contain a very high concentration of suspended particles, colloids, and dissolved organic and inorganic materials that should be removed by pretreatment before the water is processed by the E- ®...
Screws and fasteners required for wall mounting are not supplied with the unit. The recommended ® dimensions for mounting hardware to support your E-pure are: Body diameter - 1/4" maximum Head diameter - 3/8" minimum Length - 1”...
® Mounting the E-pure The E-pure® must be mounted at a level where there can be easy access to controls and valves and where the digital display can be read. A. Remove the wall bracket from the unit by removing the two screws located at the left and right hand bottom portion of the wall bracket.
Check to be sure O-rings are in place in the canister and inside the head and are not damaged prior to installation. Do not install the remaining cartridges and final filter at this time. C. Install the canister, including cartridge on head #1 (closest to pump cabinet). Figure B. Cannister Locking Pin Positioning Barnstead |Thermolyne • 800-553-0039...

CAUTION Secure Locking Pin before operating. D. Replace remaining canisters on heads. NOTE An extra set of head-to-canister O-rings are supplied. These can be used to replace and O- rings that may have been damaged or deformed in shipment. CAUTION Do not run the pump dry;...
Resistivity Meter ® The resistivity measurement in the E-pure is accomplished with an in-line digital read-out meter and integral cell. The resistivity meter measures the specific resistance of the water on a scale of 0.1 to 18.3 MEGOHM-cm.
Maintenance WARNING To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the power prior to servicing E-pure. Cartridge Replacement When the resistivity of the water drops below the desired level, replace all cartridges with new cartridges. A. Disconnect power to the system. B. Close the shutoff valve on the inlet side of the system.

F. Partially fill each canister with the disinfecting solutions noted above, and reassemble the canisters on the unit. ® G. Remove the E-pure final filter from the unit. Do not attempt to sanitize final filter with chemical solutions. H. If an external pressure switch or pump protector is used, disconnect from the receptacle on the left side of the pump housing, and install the jumper plug provided.
The cell must be thoroughly rinsed in deionized or distilled water following the detergent or acid cleaning. ® ® F. After cleaning, install the cell in the E-pure system. Remove old Teflon tape from drawoff block and ® cell threads and apply a fresh wrap of Teflon tape to cell body threads.
Probable Cause Test and Remedy ® ® ® E-pure completely inactive No electrical power to E-pure Ensure that the E-pure power (pump not operating.) cord is connected to a live power source and completely plugged into the outlet. Main fuse is blown.

Recommended Spares Consumables. Consumable parts are those REQUIRED to support the day-to-day operation of this equipment. Barnstead/Thermolyne establishes two types of consumables; those items that MUST periodically be replaced to maintain performance (filters, resin cartridges, etc.) and other items of limited life (fuses, etc.) that the USER can expect to replace on a more or less random basis.
Safety Stock. For critical applications where performance with MINIMUM downtime is required, Barnstead/Thermolyne recommends that the USER maintain a local stock of those parts listed under “General Maintenance” and "Safety Stock.” In the event of component failure, this stock can be drawn upon by USER or Barnstead/Thermolyne technicians, thereby, avoiding unnecessary delays in delivery of replacement parts.
All parts listed herein may be ordered from the Barnstead|Thermolyne dealer from whom you purchased this unit or can be obtained promptly from the factory. When service or replacement parts are needed we ask that you check first with your dealer.
