Figure 3. Labaqua HPLC / Bio scheme Operation principle. 3.2.1 The hydraulic diagram of the Biosan Labqua water purification system can be seen in figures 2 and 3. 3.2.2 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. Edition 5.02...

5.11.2 For Bio model. Unpack the dispenser ultrafilter (fig. 21/a) and the yellow sealing ring (fig. 21/b). Screw the filter in the slot below the display so that the ring stays on top of the thread of the filter (fig. 21/c) in the slot as shown on figure 21/d. Blue bell cap must cover the dispenser at all times when the water is not being dispensed.
Operation Open feedwater access (see 4.4). 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). After several second of loading, the display shows (figure 22): •...

6.9.2 Parameters (figure 27). • Measurement units (figure 28). Choose between μS / cm or MOhm * cm. • Prevent dispensing poor quality (ON/OFF). Water dispense will not start until the wa- ter quality exceeds threshold. • Recirculation (figure 29). Setup the recirculation schedule. First, the Recirculation pe- riod (figure 30): every 10, 25 or 50 minutes.
