Introduction Product Overview The Barnstead EASYpure R is a tap-fed water purification system designed to be simple to use and to provide reagent grade water that exceeds ASTM, Type I, and NCCLS/CAP Type I standards. It uses a thin film composite reverse osmo- sis membrane with one stage of pretreatment to produce RO water that is then polished using a two-stage deionization process combined with UV oxidation and a 0.2 micron final fil-...

Declaration of Conformity We hereby declare under our sole responsibility that this product conforms with the technical requirements of the following standards:...
Unpacking Unpacking Remove the unit from its shipping container and ensure that the following items are removed from the packaging materials before discarding: EASYpure R unit Approximately 6ʼ (2 m) of 1/4” O.D. drain tubing (TU1190X12) with a 1/4” NPT fitting at one end.
Installation Water Connection Details Figure 1 Tubing Installation Push-to-Connect Fitting Tubing Installation COLLET The following instructions will apply when you need to attach a piece of tubing to your EASYpure R during TYPICAL installation, unless otherwise noted in the installation FITTING instructions.
NSTALLATION Tubing Adapter Fittings Completely disassemble the fitting. Refer to Figure 3 to familiarize yourself with the names of the component parts. Make sure the tubing is cut off reasonably square and that no plastic burrs or ridges are present. Place the grab ring and backup ring in the hex nut in the order and orientation shown in Figure 3.
NSTALLATION Quick Disconnect Fittings Note These fittings are found on the water inlet. (See Fig. 4) The quick disconnect fittings contain To insert the inlet tubing: valves and if not properly inserted Press on the metal thumbpad on the unit to water will not flow.
NSTALLATION Caution Do not rotate the metal cover as this will loosen the water tight seal and Component Installation thus damage the UV lamp. Note If UV lamp is not installed properly UV Lamp Installation (See Fig. 5) an “Er3” message will appear for 15 Before you mount the EASYpure R , install the UV seconds of every minute.
NSTALLATION Carefully insert and hold the UV lamp par- tially into the UV chamber. Connect the UV lamp to the receptacle in the black plastic cover. Slide the lamp com- pletely into chamber and replace the black plastic cover on the UV chamber. If an RO membrane is not also being installed or replaced, reinstall the EASYpure Product...
NSTALLATION Note Initial Cartridge Installation (See Fig. 7) The EASYpure R ʼs cartridges must be installed in the proper position. Open cartridge access door in the rear of the unit by pushing the door latch back. The upper end cap is the one with the right angle turn and two flanges.
NSTALLATION Plug other end of power cord into facility power. To Reset Carbon Prefilter Timer The carbon prefilter timer records service time to ensure the reliability of the RO membrane. It must be reset prior to initial operation and after cartridge replacement. Turn power OFF using switch on the back of the unit.
NSTALLATION Locating Unit Bench Mounting Place the EASYpure R on a bench top that is accessible to water, electricity and an atmo- spherically vented drain, and that is convenient to your work area, noting the Clearance Re- quirements. Wall Mounting (Optional) D13324 Install the optional wall bracket on the wall in a location that is accessible to water, electricity and an atmospheri- cally vented drain, and that is convenient to use.

ONTROLS AND ORMAL PERATION FLUSH: Manual Flush: Pressing the Flush switch once will initiate a one minute flush of the RO membrane and the display will show FL1. Pressing the Flush switch twice will initiate a five minute flush of the RO membrane. During this five minute flush, the display will count down FL5, FL4, FL3, etc.
ONTROLS AND ORMAL PERATION Pressure Gauge This unit includes a pressure gauge to monitor the RO membrane pressure. The pressure gauge is located on the lower right side of the unit. A pressure of 65 psi (4.5 bar) is ideal for operation of the membrane; lower pres- sures produce less RO product water quantities (slower filling of reservoir) and higher pressures produces more RO product water quantities (quicker filling of reservoir.)

CCESSORIES Carefully and cleanly cut the EASYpure R feed- water tubing such that one piece will connect the EASYpure R to the external accessory pump. The other piece will be used to connect the facility water supply to the “inlet” of the accessory pump. Use 90-degree fittings as necessary to help route tubing to and from the external pump accessory.
CCESSORIES Completely and securely assemble AY1332X2 com- ponents. See drawing on page 53. (Note orientation of Filter/Antiscalant assembly). The use of PTFE tape on NPT treads is recommended to aid in a secure leak proof assembly. Using 2 customer-supplied fasteners, install the assembly on a wall in a location convenient for filter exchange.
