Explanation
In this example,
•the water filling the tank has a permeate
conductivity of 6 µS/cm.
•the water dispensed from the POD Unit has:
−a resistivity of 18.2 MΩ.cm,
−is temperature compensated (TC) at 25°C, and
−
the TOC value is 4 ppb.
In this example, there are no Milli-Q® water quality
measurements to display. The water quality is only
displayed when it is actually measured during water
delivery or recirculation.

Progard®
Cartridge
The Progard® Cartridge protects the RO Cartridge in order to increase its lifetime.
It prevents mineral scaling, damage due to particulate and chlorine oxidation of the RO
Cartridge(s).
UV 254 nm
Lamp
The UV 254 nm Lamp is optional.
It emits light at 254 nm. It is used to kill bacteria.
UV 185 nm
Lamp
The dual wavelength UV 185 nm Lamp emits light at 185 nm and at 254 nm.
It kills bacteria and reduces the level of organic molecules in the water.
Q-Pak® Pack
The Q-Pak® Pack removes trace levels of ions and organic molecules.
POD Pak
The POD Pak is the final water purification device.
It is attached to the Point of Delivery outlet.
The POD Pak provides additional quality and insurance that trace contaminants related
to specific applications are removed just before ultrapure water is delivered.
