CaptairStore 531 Midcap Instructions & User’s Manual Before inserting any new product into the cabinet, the user must check its chemical compatibility with the products it already contains. For example, in the category of corrosive products, it is necessary to distinguish between Acids and Bases. In every case, Acids and Bases must be separated: the reaction of a strong acid with a strong base is highly exothermic (releases heat), which may cause serious accidents.
Consumable items (including filters) and Captair Pyramid remain under warranty only until the first use. Erlab Inc. is the Sole US Distributor of Captair products and is not responsible for damage that occurs as a result of failure to follow instructions that are included with the original product.
