System Information
The Phoenix Ultra High Purity Lab Water System delivers Type 1, 18.2 MΩquality water on
demand. Water is purified in a staged process consisting of high-purity ion exchange resins to
remove dissolved minerals and internal recirculation to maintain purity. At discharge a final
0.2µm filter removes particulates and bacteria to attain Type 1 water specifications. Additional
optional technologies are incorporated depending on model. Multiple sensors continuously
monitor system and final water quality.

Remote Dispense (If Equipped)
Consideration should be given to location of the remote dispense module. Reference the diagram on
page 7. For example, the module can be mounted next to a sink so it would provide access to the sink
and adjacent countertop. The module can be mounted near the end of a countertop to provide access
to rolling carts for larger container fills as well as the countertop. Module should be mounted at a
height that provides access to the tallest container that will be used without blocking access to
cabinets.
For mounting the module, select a wall that is capable of supporting 20 lbs. The wall plate should be
mounted to a stud. Mounting directly to sheet rock is not recommended. If there is no stud at the
mounting location, mount proper backing such as a plywood sheet that is secured to studs before
mounting the plate to it.
Once a stud is located or support plate installed mark two holes on 5-13/16” centers and use a 3mm or
1/8” diameter drill to pre-drill holes to a depth of 2”. Use the two provided lag bolts to affix the plate.
While tightening the bolts ensure the mount is level.
10 feet of tubing is provided to connect the system and module. The system must located within this
distance bearing in mind that some slack should be allowed to provide access to the system for service.
Excess tubing can be coiled. 6 feet of drain tubing is also provided. Since the drain fitting is in the base
of the system, either access to a gravity fed floor drain or sump pump must be provided if the system is
installed below a sink. A 1-1/2” to 2” diameter hole must be provided where the umbilical containing
the water flow tubing and electrical connections will pass through a countertop.
Remote dispense electrical connection: Rotate connector to align tabs on umbilical plug with slots on
Phoenix socket and then insert plug. Repeat with the outer locking sleeve. When slots and tabs are
aligned, push and turn to lock connector in place.
Remote Dispense Water Connections
•Install upstream isolation valve in
feedwater line (recommended).
•Connect 3/8” OD white recirculation
return tubing from umbilical into
Return fitting.
•Connect 3/8” OD clear tubing from
umbilical into Outlet fitting.
•Make sure tubing is fully seated into
fittings.

12
Direct Feed Water Connection
For systems plumbed with a direct feed option, an additional outlet port is provided on the side of
the system above the feed water inlet. To connect the system to the remote demand, a
male/female valved fitting has been supplied. When the two halves are detached water will not
flow from the direct feed outlet port.
The female side has a short 3/8” tube extension. This tube is inserted into the outlet port.
The male side (with O Ring) is provided already attached to a length of 3/8” OD plastic tubing.
The direct feed connection must be bled during initial rinse after bleeding the
cartridges. Place the outlet end of the tubing in a drain or container. Insert and
connect the male/female fittings as shown. The female fitting has a metal locking
collar to prevent separation. Pull on the connection to verify it is engaged and does
not leak.
Observe the water stream. When air bubbles no longer appear disconnect the fittings.
It is the user’s responsibility to connect the outlet tubing to their demand instrumentation
providing appropriate sizing adapters as necessary. After doing so, reconnect the male and female
connectors.
Caution: Using the standard dispense port while the direct feed option is in use will reduce the
system flow rate.

Initializing the System for the First Time
Note: This is for the first time set-up only. In the on-screen directions you will be skipping steps
that would normally be required during consumable replacement.
Note: Some steps are applicable only to individual PHOENIX models. If your PHOENIX does not
have a UV lamp and/or Ultrafilter, these components will be greyed out on the Home Screen
Display.
•Ensure feed water supply is on and connected to system.
•Turn on power switch. Splash screen will display.
•Press START. Home Screen will display.
•After a 10 second delay, the pump will start and the system will begin the initial rinse cycle.
TO ACTIVATE THE ULTRAFILTER FOR BIOCHEM AND GENOME Models:
•Press and hold the ULTRA FILTER icon and press NEXT to initialize the Ultra Filter.
•Follow the instructions displayed.
oSkip on-screen instruction for Steps 5 and 6 as the ultrafilter is already installed.
oDuring Step 9, the purging process may take several minutes.
oComplete the procedure by pressing RESTART to return to the Home Screen.
TO ACTIVATE THE UV LAMP FOR CITATION and GENOME Models:
•From the Home Screen, press and hold the UV LAMP icon. Press NEXT to continue.
oFollow instructions displayed. It will not be necessary to replace lamp.
oComplete the procedure by pressing RESTART to return to the Home Screen.
TO ACTIVATE THE FILTER PACKS FOR ALL MODELS:
•From the Home Screen, press and hold the CONDITIONING icon. Press NEXT to continue.
oFollow instructions displayed. As this is the first time initialization process a new
pack should have been installed. It will not be necessary to replace the pack as
specified in the instructions.
oComplete the procedure by pressing RESTART to return to the Home Screen.
•From the Home Screen, press and hold the POLISHING icon. Press NEXT to continue.
oFollow instructions displayed. As this is the first time initialization process a new
filter should have been installed. It will not be necessary to replace the filter as
specified in the instructions.
oComplete the procedure by pressing RESTART to return to the Home Screen.

17
•Remove the final filter from its packaging
•Wrap 3 to 5 turns of Teflon tape on the filter threads and install into the outlet.
oPlace container under final filter.
oPress the dispense button.
oPurge air by slowly turning the vent port CCW until a steady stream of water is seen.
oPress the dispense button and retighten vent port once all air is purged.

Normal Operation
Normal sequence of operation:
Resistivity display will flash during the 2 hour initial rinse. After completion, the system enters
Polishing mode for 2 minutes in which the inlet solenoid is open and the pump is on. The UV lamp
is also on if equipped. Polishing mode recirculates water internally to maintain water purity. The
system continuously monitors water quality, system performance and consumable health. System
parameters for recirculation can be adjusted. See “Adjusting Recirculation Options”.
NOTE: Initial rinse can be bypassed to enter Polishing mode by holding the Initial Rinse button at
the bottom of the display for 3 seconds. This is useful if the system is restarted with previously
rinsed consumable packs.
Following Polishing, the system will automatically enter Standby mode and will display WAKE. This
is a 10 minute dwell to conserve system power and consumables. If equipped, the UV lamp is also
turned off. Standby mode can be bypassed by pressing the WAKE button to refresh water before
dispensing. If not bypassed the system will automatically enter Polishing mode at the end of the
dwell and will continue to alternate between Polishing and Standby.
Dispensing water will bring the system into Polishing mode if it is in Standby.
Final water quality after the Polishing filter (resistivity) is shown on the Home Screen. The value is
shown against a white background. Resistivity at the output of the conditioning pack can be
displayed by pressing the resistivity value. The display will change to a colored background
indicating it is the value after the conditioning pack. The display will return to final output water
quality after 5 seconds.
Direct feed operation (If equipped):
The system is equipped with a pressure switch that senses downstream water demand. When this
occurs the system enters direct feed mode and Direct Feed will display. The inlet solenoid and
pump will come on and remain running. The system will monitor the direct feed pressure and will
enter Polishing mode when demand stops for more than one minute.
Caution: The direct feed outlet connection must be bled during initial rinse after
bleeding the Dual Conditioning Cartridge and Polishing Cartridge. See the Direct
Feed Connection Section.
Water can be dispensed from the main outlet port during direct feed operation.
