AquaPrep

Performing a Leak Test

The AquaPrep works only with water; do not use any other liquid. Do not use water
that contains a detergent or wetting solution.
1. Make sure the AquaPrep tubing is properly installed in a plastic container of deionized
water. (Refer to "Installing the AquaPrep Tubing" on page 27.)
2. Remove the top panel.
3. Turn the AquaPrep power switch to the ON position.
4. The pumps will run; observe the internal plumbing for leaks.
If you see a leak, TURN OFF THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY.
Water must not flow out of the vent tube on the front panel.
5. Verify that the front panel neon indicator is on.
6. Observe the fan on the vacuum pump. It will be turning if the pump is running.
7. Identify the outlet tubing on the front panel. It is the right tubing.
8. Pull the outlet tubing out of the water. Verify that the water is discharging from this tubing.
9. Turn the power switch OFF.

Checking the Flow Rate

A stopwatch is required for this procedure.
1. Place an empty container on the floor beneath the AquaPrep. The vessel must have
markings to indicate quantity of liquid, at least at the 1-liter level.
2. Place the outlet hose into the empty container. (The inlet hose must remain in the container
of deionized water.)
3. Be ready to start timing the flow of water.
4. Turn on the AquaPrep.
5. When the discharge of water begins, start the timer.
