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.

2-4 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The Synergy 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. SynergyPak
1 is used for RO, distilled or Elix feedwater. SynergyPak 2 is used for pretreated water from clean DI
(particulate-free). SynergyPak 3 is used for pretreated water from dirty DI (non particulate-free). The
SynergyPak 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.
