“tap water system”. Principle of operation The hydraulic diagram of Labaqua water purification system is shown below. The solenoid valve (Fig. 1/1) controls intake of feed water from the tap. The first purification stage consists of the pre-filter set (P/N 10019, fig. 1/2 and 1/3) that includes sediment filter and activated carbon intended to remove particles, free chlorine, organics and colloids.

3.4. Setting up 3.4.1. Install the controller module and connect the cable (Fig. 2/1). 3.4.2. Carefully attach the controller module to the holder at the top right of the system (Fig. 2/2) 3.4.3. While the system is disconnected from mains, it is recommended to carefully remove the rear panel and check for any transportation damage.
3.5.3. Tap water pressure should be above 0.7 bar. 3.5.4. Drain pipe should be lower that the level of the instrument and the level of the Overflow connector of the tank. The water purification system has Ø1/4’’ OD drain pipe. The Overflow connector of the tank is for Ø3/8’’ OD pipe. 3.5.5.
“Pump Grade 1” next morning and dispense water in the tank through point- of-use filter (microfilter on Labaqua HPLC or ultrafilter on Labaqua Bio). The microfilter (or ultrafilter) needs to be rinsed with at least 20 litres of purified water.
