2.5. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Use a power line regulator if the local mains network is susceptible to fluctuations exceeding 10% of the nominal values. Connect only to the mains with voltage corresponding to that on the serial number label. ...
General information Biosan Labaqua is Ultrapure water purification system which requires external water tank that use tap water as feed water (tap water system). There are three models available: Labaqua Trace, Labaqua HPLC and Labaqua Bio. Water purification system Biosan Labaqua produces pure water that complies with ISO 3696 Grade II and Grade I water requirements.

Figure 3. Labaqua HPLC / Bio scheme 3.2. Operation principle. 3.3. The hydraulic diagram of the Biosan Labqua water purification system can be seen in figures 2 and 3. 3.4. The input valve controls intake of feed water from the access. The first cleaning stage is the pre-filter set that uses activated carbon to remove particles, free chlorine, or- ganics and colloids.
There must be at least one filter on the feedwater access pipe. Filter is available in the local plumber shops or by ordering at Biosan. Figure 4. Filter on the water access pipe.

4.5. Feedwater supply connector and drain should be within 3 meters from the unit loca- tion. Attention Please note that if the pre-filter clogs prematurely, such malfunction will be covered by warranty only of the service department receives photographic proof of the particle filter installed in the feedwater ac- cess pipe.

5.9. Installation of dispenser filter. 5.9.1. For Trace and HPLC models. Unpack the 0.22 μm dispenser filter (fig. 19/a) and the black sealing ring (fig. 19/b). Screw the filter in the slot below the display so that the ring stays on top of the thread of the filter (fig. 19/c) in the slot as shown on figure 19/d.

5.9.2. For Bio model. Unpack the dispenser ultrafilter (fig. 20/a) and the yellow sealing ring (fig. 20/b). Screw the filter in the slot below the display so that the ring stays on top of the thread of the filter (fig. 20/c) in the slot as shown on figure 20/d. Blue bell cap must cover the dispenser at all times when the water is not being dispensed.
Operation 6.1. Open feedwater access (see 4.4). 6.2. Check the power cable for damages and connect the plug to a grounded mains socket. Turn the power switch (fig. 9/6) to I (on). 6.3. After several second of loading, the display shows (figure 21): ...
