This user manual is a guide for use during the normal operation and maintenance of a Milli-Q EQ 7000 water purification system. It is highly recommended to fully read this manual ® and understand its content before handling the water purification system.
Wall-mounted solution Description of the system The Milli-Q EQ 7000 manages the production and the distribution of ultrapure water from a ® purified water source such as a tank or a pressurized loop. It consists of three main units: • The water purification unit manages the production of ultrapure water.

The Q-POD dispenser is detachable from its support. Its dispensing ‘wheel’ delivers water at 3 different flows: Low - Medium - High, up 2 L/min. At the outlet of the dispenser, the final purification is performed by the application-specific POD- Pak.
LEDs overview On the Q-POD unit, 3 LEDs indicate the different states of the system: ® LED on the Q-POD arm Water Quality LED System Power LED System Alarm / Alert LED LEDs description Meaning The system is powered on STEADY: The water quality fits the requirements (water quality values are below alarm setpoints) BREATHING: The system is in recirculation mode...
QUICK START (after installation performed by a qualified Field Service Representative) Exit screensaver If the setting is active and there has been a certain time of user inactivity, the screensaver will be displayed on the HMI touchscreen. Screensaver Tap anywhere on the screen or initiate a manual dispense by pressing the dispenser wheel to exit the screensaver.
Volumetric Dispensing (100mL to 10L) Enables a user to auto dispense a pre-selected volume. Note: When connected to a storage tank, always make sure there is enough water present before dispensing. This information is always displayed in the status bar: Select the volume to dispense, press ok to validate.
