We manufacture and sell water purification systems designed to produce pure or ultrapure water with
specific characteristics (S/cm, T, TOC, CFU/ml, Eu/ml) when it leaves the water purification system
provided that the ICW-3000 Systems are fed with water quality within specifications, and properly
maintained as required by the supplier.
We do not warrant these systems for any specific applications. It is up to the end user to determine if the
quality of the water produced by our systems matches his expectations, fits with norms/legal requirements
and to bear responsibility resulting from the usage of the water.

Chapter 2 PRODUCT INFORMATION
2-1 ICW-3000 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The ICW-3000 Water Purification System is designed to be connected to 1 or 2 ion chromatography systems
(combined to an eluent generator). The ICW-3000 System distributes water to the ion chromatography
system on both suppressor and eluent generator inlets.
Pre-treated pure water (Elix® or distilled) is supplied from a tank to the ICW-3000 System to produce
ultrapure water.
The display is used to
monitor the Product
Water quality and system
status.
The keypad is used to access
operating functions and system
settings and to dispense Product
Water.

2-4 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The ICW-3000 Water Purification System is fed with pretreated water (Elix system, distilled water) through
its external tank.
When Product Water is being distributed/dispensed, the Distribution Pump turns on. The feedwater
(pretreated) water is then pumped into the UV Lamp. The UV Lamp emits radiation at 185 nm and 254 nm.
It is used to reduce the level of organic molecules in the water. The UV Lamp is a consumable device that
needs to be periodically replaced during the maintenance of the system. After this, the water goes to the
SimpliPak Cartridge. This is used to deionise the water. The SimpliPak Cartridge is a consumable device
that needs to be periodically replaced during the maintenance of the system.
The water is sent to the suppressor at a pressure of 1.7 bar (25 psi) and to the eluent at a pressure of
0.2 bar (3 psi)
The Final Filter and SimFilterTM (Inline Filter) are membrane based filters that remove all particles and
bacteria with a size greater than 0.05 µm. Those filters are consumable devices.

4-2 CONNECTING AND FILLING THE TANK
Rotate the ICW-3000 System so you can see the back of the system.
Locate the 2 tubing exiting from the bottom of the system (A). Remove tie-wraps and connect a male
CPC connector to the end of each tubing (there are 2 different sizes of tubing and connector).
Insert the male CPC connector into the female connector of the tank until you hear a click (B) and then
securely fasten the 2 connectors together. If the connectors do not fit at first, press down the plate of the
female connector. The tank may be connected from either the left or right side.
Open the tank cover and fill it with pure water such as Elix or distilled water (C).
4-3 CONNECTIONS TO THE ION CHROMATOGRAPHY SYSTEM
Connect 1/8" Teflon® tubing to the appropriate port on the back of the system. Hand tighten the nut
and then tighten it further 1/4 turn using a
wrench. Do not overtighten. (A).
