We manufacture and sell water purification systems designed to produce pure or ultrapure water with specific
characteristics (µS/cm, T, TOC, CFU/ml, Eu/ml) when it leaves the water purification system provided that the
Synergy 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.

Operating principle
The Synergy R Water Purification System is fed with pretreated water (Elix, RO, distilled or DI water) coming
from a tank or a loop.
When Product Water is being dispensed, the Inlet Solenoid Valve opens and the Booster Pump turns on. The
pretreated water is then pumped into the UV Lamp (UV System). The UV Lamp emits light at 185 nm and 254 nm.
It is used to reduce levels 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. The water is then sent to the SynergyPak cartridge to
deionize the water. There are three types of SynergyPak cartridge. SynergyPak 1 is used for RO, distilled or Elix
feedwater. SynergyPak 2 is used for pre-treated water from clean DI (particulate-free). SynergyPak 3 is used for
pretreated water from dirty DI (non particulate-free). The SynergyPak cartridge is a consumable device that needs
to be periodically replaced during the maintenance of the system.
The Final Filter is a membrane based filter that removes all particles and bacteria with a size greater than the
filter pore size. The Final Filter is a consumable device.
