Introduction 3
Water process
The Milli-Q® IX 7003/7005/7010/7015 manages the production and the distribution of pure
(Type 2) water from a tap water source. It is composed of three different sections:
• Water purication unit manages the production of pure water.
• Storage tank stores and maintains the pure water quality.
• Point of dispense (E-POD®unit) integrates the screen interface and manages the dispensing of
pure water. At least one E-POD® unit is necessary and up to 2 E-POD® units can be installed in total.

Introduction 4
This system uses potable tap water as feed and produces pure (Type 2) delivered by 1 or 2
independent E-POD® unit(s).
The system is divided into three sections. These are the production, the storage and the
distribution.
Production: Tap water is rst puried by the IPAK Gard® pretreatment pack
which contains the pleated lter and carbon block. Particles, colloids and
free chlorine are efciently removed before the reverse osmosis purication.
The intelligent reverse osmosis (RO) purication that controls water consumption, ensures a
constant product ow rate and optimal water quality. A large percentage of contaminants are
removed at this stage such as the ions, particles, bacteria and large organics. The puried RO
water then enters the patented electrodeionization (EDI) module, where ion-exchange resins
are continuously regenerated by a small electrical eld. The pure water then passes through the
mercury-free ech2o bactericidal lamp where bacteria is further eliminated resulting in pure (type
2) water then stored in the storage tank.
Storage and distribution: Pure water is stored in high-quality polyethylene tank, which is equipped
with a vent lter and the mercury-free ech2o® automated sanitization module (ASM) lamp. The
tank vent lter maintains the consistent purity of stored water and provides effective protection
against airborne contaminants. The ech2o® ASM lamp further protects the integrity of the stored
water with regular exposure to bactericidal UV light. Throughout the distribution, resistivity,
temperature and pressure are monitored. Tank is congured with 2 or 5 meters connectors to
the main production unit depending on the laboratory setting.
The E-POD®(s) unit(s) is/are the main interface(s) with the user. They are congured with 2 or
5 meter connectors to the main production unit depending on the laboratory setting. The arm
holding the dispenser on the mast can be moved up/down, right/left and can be unhooked to
adapt to laboratory glassware. Its dispensing ‘wheel’ delivers water from low ow up to 2 L/min
owrate. The E-POD® unit large 5” touchscreen offers a wide range of applications for users. It
also has an USB port to easily export data. At the outlet of the dispenser, the nal purication is
performed by the application-specic POD-Pak (recommended).
When not in active use, the water within the units will recirculate for three minutes every hour.
This is to maintain water quality and to avoid contamination. The system should not be turned
off as this will stop the periodic recirculation taking place.

When in a pop-up level screen, there is no time-out, therefore the user remains on this
screen until the pop-up is manually closed.
Important! If multiple E-POD® units are installed and a pop-up in the settings or
maintenance menus is not closed, dispensing will remain unavailable on all E-POD® units until
the pop-up is manually closed.

Dispense pure water
Before dispensing pure water
It is a good practice to always recirculate water before dispensing. The recirculation lasts 3 minutes
and is triggered every 60 minutes.
To do this, press on the recirculation icon , this also refreshes the water quality parameters:
• EDI resistivity
• Temperature
When connected to a storage tank, always make sure there is enough water present before
dispensing. This information is always displayed on the main screen.
Dispensing pure water in free ow mode
There are several options to dispense pure water:
Manual Dispensing Full ow
To start low ow dispensing, turn the dis-
pense wheel one notch counter-clockwise.
+
To start dispensing in full ow, press the
wheel once and quickly release.
Adjust ow rate Stop
To increase the ow rate, keep turning the
wheel counter-clockwise until full ow is
reached. To decrease the ow rate, turn the
wheel clockwise.
Low ow High ow
_
+
To stop any ongoing dispensing, press down
on the wheel one additional time or rotate
the wheel clockwise until no more water ows
from the dispenser.

Quick start 8
Dispensing pure water in volumetric dispensing mode
Enables a user to auto dispense a pre-selected volume (20mL to 100L, depending upon the
tank capacity). Simply press the icon of the Home screen to start a volumetric dispensing.
1- Press the pre-selected volume box to
set the desired volume to dispense. If the
volume is already ok, either press the start
button on the screen or the dispensing
wheel to initiate the dispense.
2- Select the unit.
3- Select the desired volume and press OK
to validate.
4- Press the start button on the screen, the
dispense wheel or the foot pedal to start
dispensing
5- The system will automatically stop once the input volume is dispensed. Either press the stop
button on the screen, the dispense wheel or the foot pedal to stop dispensing
Note: The system records the last volume dispensed. To repeat a volumetric dispense, click on
the start icon, press the foot pedal or press the dispensing wheel.

Quick start 9
Manage dispense reports
A dispense report is automatically produced after each dispensing operation. A dispensing
operation is considered to be all dispenses with less than 10 second intervals between them. This
can be interrupted at any time by pressing on the dispense report icon that becomes available
on the home screen as soon as a dispensing is initiated.
1. Consult the report data
Click on the dispense report icon:
2. Personalize (assign a name or experiment number)
In the user ID eld, enter the content of your choice (max 15 characters)
3. Export
- Scan the QR code® from a mobile device to instantly retrieve the report.
- Click on the export button to save the report on a USB key.
4. Automatic archiving
The dispense report icon on the home screen will automatically disappear after 5 minutes of
inactivity. Each dispense report, whether consulted or not, is automatically archived and can be
retrieved anytime by going in the history report section available in the information menu. Go to
page 14 Information > History for further information.

or/and alarm(s) which are active.
Note: The notication number indicates how many active alarms are present. When there are
no active alerts or alarms, the relevant icon disappears.
Select a specic alert or alarm to get further
information and better understand the root cause.
Advice is provided in the information section to
help the user troubleshoot.
If the issue is not resolved and depending upon
the alert and alarm, either select the Contact tab
to nd the technical support hotline number for
further assistance or the Order tab containing
ordering information when applicable.
To protect the system and user applications,
alarms of a serious nature will automatically stop
the system from dispensing water.
Note: These are displayed on the screensaver to
tell the user when the system is not in active use.
Alerts provide advanced warning of any
maintenance actions that will be required. These
can be “closed” to be reminded again in 24h or
can be “cleared” permanently.
An Order tab can also be present when
applicable.
