GENERAL INFORMATION
RECOMMENDATIONS &
REQUIREMENTS
Recommendations:
•Water Temperature:The Aqua Phase System will perform best with a hot water supply between
115°- 130°F (46°-55°C). If the supplied water temperature is below 105°F (40°C) water spotting or
afilm may occur on the equipment.
•Cleaning Solutions:Aqua Phase AQ-240 Cleaning Solution and Aqua Phase AQ-260 Rinse Agent
are recommended for use in the unit.
•Disinfectants: Use aconcentrated disinfectant with a dilution rate of 1 ounce per gallon
(1:128). AQ-128 Neutral Disinfectant or AQ-130 Germicidal Disinfectantare recommended.
Disinfectants with other dilution rates can be used, however, the dilution setting of the Aqua Phase
unit must bemodified. This is not difficult—see Technical DataInformation Sheet for the
Disinfectant Mixing Valve. Do NOT use Hydrogen Peroxide based disinfectants as these are
damaging to the aluminum used on some medical equipment.
•Plumbing Connections: Use the hoses provided with Aqua Phase for theFill andDrain connections
rather than rigid piping. (See Fill and Drain Line Set up pages in this Operator Manual.) This will
make access to the Chemical Cabinet and Mechanical Cabinet much easier if service isneeded and
will allow for periodic cleaning of the floor under theAqua Phase unit.
Requirements:
•Electrical: Aqua Phase requires a 120 volt, 20 ampere electrical circuit. This circuit should be
dedicated for Aqua Phase use only.
•Water Volume: Aqua Phase requires approximately 5.5 gallons of hot water per cycle. See
Operating Procedures and Wash Sequence page for details.
•Water Pressure:Aqua Phase requires a minimum of 35 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) (2.42 Bar of
water pressure.
•Cleaning Solutions: The use of Aqua Phase brand solutions is required for the Aqua Phase
warranty to remain intact unless the use of other solutions have been approved, in advance, by the
Aqua Phase factory. See Warranty Pagefor details.
