An installation test should always be performed after installing a new
system or new parts.
System installation test protocol covers all the components that are part of
the flow path, i.e., the complete testing of a flow kit plus configuration.
Description
Individual valves are opened and closed.
Their pressure regulator is checked for warnings during individual valves
open/close test.
The conductivity, temperature and UV sensors are tested by pumping a
solution of 1.06% (v/v) acetone and 1.0 M sodium chloride through the
flow kit. If the UV and conductivity readings are within the specified
range, the sensors pass the test.
The pH sensor is tested for properties of demineralized water.
