PRODUCT OVERVIEW Principle The hydraulic diagram of the Crystal water purification system is shown above. The solenoid valve controls intake of feed water from the tap. The first purification stage consists of pre-filter (part no. 10320) and activated carbon filter intended to remove particles, free chlorine, organics and colloids.
(pore size 1 µm). The sediment filter is usually available from a local plumbing store. If you cannot obtain a sediment filter locally, you can order tap water line pre-filter set from Adrona (see picture below). The part number is 10170 (carbonpp/ μm)
Additional equipment Water purification systems Crystal EX Trace, Crystal EX HPLC and Crystal EX Bio are not equipped with internal tank. Therefore, you may need to order external tank for purified water storage additionally. See Price list for available options.

INSTALLATION Option 2. Protective 1/4” JG plug removal from DI module using Adrotool. You need to push the little ring down with Adrotool and you will be able to take out the plug Locate connectors for deionization module (JG stem elbow with 1/4” tubes) Insert connectors in the module fittings.
INSTALLATION Place connector tubes in slots. Make sure that connectors are properly attached Repeat the same installation process with polishing module. Rear panel after installation of deionization and polishing module is shown in picture on the left [10] Dispense filter mounting Ultrafilter packaging (part no.

INSTALLATION For Bio systems, unpack the ultrafilter and screw it to the holder in front of the system. Before that, make sure that the yellow O-ring is inside the holder Ultrafilter connected with the system. After water dispensing put the bell cap back to the bell For HPLC and Trace systems, unpack the 0.22 m dispense filter and screw it to the holder in front...
INSTALLATION Connection of tubing There are overall four 1/4” JG tubes in the set Locate the 1/2” NPT thread adapter: Connect one 1/4” JG tube to the 1/2” NPT thread adapter; Connect it to the feedwater source Connect the feed water to the 3/8”–1/4” JG stem elbow connection marked TAP WATER Connect 3/8”–1/4”...
Page 19
INSTALLATION 3. use two 1/4” JG plastic tubes for connection [pic. 2]; 4. connect REC IN on Crystal EX system [pic. 5] with REC OUT on the tank [pic. 6] (marked with GREEN square); 5. connect REC OUT on Crystal EX system [pic.
INSTALLATION Connection to tank cable Locate the tank cable Connect the tank cable to the “TANK LEVEL” connector that is located on the top of the tank Connect the tank cable to the “TANK LEVEL” connector that is located on the side panel of the system Locate the power cable...
The water purification system is connected to the main supply via electric cable that is supplied with the unit. In case the supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced with an equivalent cord, in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. Calibration Adrona water purification systems are already calibrated. Additional calibration is not needed.
USING THE SYSTEM USING THE SYSTEM Display All functions are accessible via control buttons at the front panel. The LCD screen displays information regarding water quality, operation status, errors and button functions. Description 1 – Operation status/ Error messages 2 – Recirculation status 3 –...
USING THE SYSTEM Obtaining the water Switch on the system with the power switch. The unit is switched on and off with the main switch at the side panel of the unit The display indicates the status window after few seconds. To actuate a button, press and hold it for 2 seconds Status window indicates the system status,...

USING THE SYSTEM Now the Crystal system is filling the tank with Grade II water. As soon as the tank is full, the system shuts down the water supply and shows the “TnkFull” message To dispense Grade II water from the tank, use the stopcock To obtain pure Grade I water, press the “Pump out”...
USING THE SYSTEM Operating modes To enter the Menu, press the “MENU” button. The display will show menu, consisting of a “Reset filter counter” and an “Options” menu. In case if the pre-filters are replaced, you need to reset the counter by pressing the “Reset Filter Counter”...
Page 26
USING THE SYSTEM In the “Options” menu, you can choose the “Recirculation time” You can set a suitable recirculation time The option “Auto-Off” currently in not available The Crystal system calculates time left before the pre-filter (part no. 10320 or part no. 10410 for Double Flow) replacement.
MAINTENANCE If the system indicates “TankS” message, check section TROUBLESHOOTING in this manual for further actions [13] If the tank is in filling stage or it is already full, the system will circulate water on periodical basis to prevent growth of microorganisms in the tank;...
MAINTENANCE Replacement of pre-filter You need to replace the pre-filter (part no. 10320) when filter life counter shows zero or when the filter is clogged. 1 – Turn off the system; 2 – Close tap water valve; 3 – Allow a minute for water pressure to drop in the tubing Access the rear panel where pre-filter is located To uninstall it, turn the body of pre-filter one...
MAINTENANCE Remove protective cap from a new pre-filter and place it in the filter holder (i. e. filter head) To install the pre-filter, fit it into the pre-filter head and turn it one quarter of a turn After the pre-filters are replaced, reset the counter by entering the menu and pressing the “Reset Filter Counter”...

Access the rear panel where the deionization module is located: 1 - Insert Adrotool in filter connector slot to disconnect Adrona deionization module; 2 - Pull down the tool. Now you can remove the deionization module from connector tubes and remove the deionization module from the system Unpack spare deionization module.
You need to push the little ring down with Adrotool and you will be able to take out the plug Place deionization module in the slit Place connector tubes in the deionization module [7.] Calibration Adrona water purification systems are already calibrated. Additional calibration is not needed.
MAINTENANCE Empty the tank 1 – Open the water dispense tap; 2 – Empty the tank 3 – When the water does not flow anymore, open the “REC OUT” tube; 4 – Pour out the remaining water...
MAINTENANCE Cleaning and Sanitization of the system Clean the exterior of the system with soft tissue and water. Do not use any chemicals. The water storage tank should be cleaned and disinfected every 2-3 months. Prior to cleaning, you need to disconnect the water tank from the system. Place JG plugs in all tube connectors.
