INTRODUCTION General Description The Labconco WaterPro PS Polishing Stations have been specifically designed to meet the ultrapure water needs in a variety of laboratory applications. The most basic of WaterPro models, General Chemistry, is ideally suited for typical chemical research labs. The WaterPro PS/HPLC models are specifically designed for demanding analytical chemistry work, involving sensitive instrumentation and requiring the lowest levels of Total Organic Carbon (TOC).
Pressure Regulator. Protects the system from excessive inlet pressure. Factory adjusted and should not require readjustment. Ensures proper recirculation, Call Labconco Product Service before trying to adjust. Recriculation Pump & Motor. Circulates water through the system. This pump is a rotary vane self priming pump that requires water flow for lubrication.

SPECIFICATIONS *Actual flow rates for ultrafiltered models could vary as much as ± 15% depending on the membrane. Flow rates determined with new hollow fiber final filter installed. Flow rate from final filter decreases with use. 60 lbs. (27.2 kg) Weight (dry): Feedwater Requirements Type:...
Kit it comes complete with recycling instructions. When you install the new cartridge, place the expanded cartridge in the shipping container and return it to Labconco using the label provided. These cartridges are recycled into useful products rather than taking to our landfills.
Do not remove the polishing unit from its shipping box until it is ready to be placed in its final location. Call Labconco at (800) 821-5525 or (816) 333-8811, or return the business reply card to obtain your WaterProfile test kit. Pretreatment of the feedwater will be recommended after analysis.
INSTALLATION Feedwater Connection The supplied feedwater line is 3/8" OD (0.95 cm) rigid plastic tubing. If more tubing is required, refer to Replacement Parts section of this manual. The tubing is inserted into the inlet port identified as A on page 13. At a convenient spot in the supply line, a valve should be installed so the WaterPro PS may be isolated from the feedwater supply when required.
INSTALLATION NOTE: When connecting the WaterPro PS to a non-pressurized feedwater supply, such as a storage tank, use a tube with at least 1/4" inner diameter. The length of the supply tube should not exceed 5 feet. NOTE: Organic adsorption and deionization cartridges have a finite capacity for purifying water before being exhausted.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: Ensure that the unit is connected to electrical service in accordance with local and national electrical codes. Failure to do so may create a fire or electrical hazard. WARNING: Ensure that the WaterPro PS is connected to a prepurified source of water, such as distilled, reverse osmosis or deionized with a conductivity of 100µS or less.
NORMAL OPERATION Initial Operation and Cartridge Installation (1) Remove the four polypropylene sump bowls by placing the spanner wrench as high as possible around the bowls. Unscrew each bowl by turning clockwise. With a twisting motion, install the carbon filter in the first bowl and other cartridges as indicated in the table below.

NORMAL OPERATION Figure 7 (6) After installing new cartridges, the resistivity will slowly increase due to the removal of contaminants in the system and on the cartridges. Rinse up time may be as long as 24 hours before the resistivity equals or exceeds Type 1 specifications (16-18 megohm-cm resistivity). When the unit has set for period of time allow five minutes of operation to assure equivalent water purity throughout the system.
NORMAL OPERATION Electronic Control (Refer to Figure 8) Figure 8 1. ON/OFF Switch. This switch starts the recirculation and lights the display. When the switch is in the OFF position the pump will automatically start and recirculate four minutes every two hours to prevent the system’s water quality from degrading.
NORMAL OPERATION Automatic Intermittent Recirculation All WaterPro PS Systems are designed to automatically start and recirculate water during periods of nonuse to minimize rinse up time and bacterial growth. The automatic recirculation cycles last for approximately 4 minutes every two hours. This automatic recirculation feature keeps rinse up time to highest purity at a minimum.
MAINTENANCE UV Lamp Replacement (HPLC, Life Science and HPLC/UF, Hybrid Models) The UV lamp should be replaced annually to maintain intensity. To replace lamp, use the following procedure (Refer to Figure 9). (1) Unplug the WaterPro PS system and remove the front cover via the two screws on the front and two screws on the top of the cover.
MAINTENANCE Replacement of Ultrafilter – P/N 9104400 On models with Ultrafilters, the Ultrafilter requires replacement if it has been damaged due to sanitization solution or is biofouled and releasing pyrogens of bacteria into the purified water. 1. Unplug the unit and remove four screws from the dispense housing. Lift housing away from dispense module exposing the wiring connector.
MAINTENANCE System Sanitization Frequency of system cleaning and sanitization will depend directly on the quality of the feedwater and the operating environment of the unit. The unit should be cleaned when needed, such as when the bacterial or organic containment concentrations become unacceptable. SANITIZE ALL MODELS AS FOLLOWS: 1.
