3.4 Tubing
3.4.1 Feed Water Tubing
The feed water tubing is used to supply feed water to the device:
− arium®mini plus: Supply of tap water
− arium®mini essential: Supply of pretreated water
The feed water tubing is marked “Inlet”.
3.4.2 Tank Filling Tubing
The tank filling tubing serves to feed pretreated water from an
external tank to the device (only arium®mini).
The tank filling tubing is marked “Inlet”.
3.4.3 Drain Water Tubing
The drain water tubing is used to drain unpurified water and rinse water
out of the device.
The drain water tubing is marked “Drain”.
3.4.4 Tank Outlet Tubing with Ball Cock
Pure water can be dispensed without pressure directly from the bag via the tank
outlet tubing with ball cock. This option can be used to empty the bag when
performing maintenance or to dispense pretreated water directly from the bag
for further use.
The tank outlet tubing is marked “Bag Outlet”.
3.4.5 Dispense Tube
The dispense tube is used for rinsing functions during startup and maintenance
as well as when dispensing larger volumes of water.

3.5.3 Treatment Stages
Device type Required treatment stages
arium®mini plus Pretreatment stage, ultrapure water stage
arium®mini Ultrapure water stage
arium®mini essential Ultrapure water stage
Pretreatment level (first treatment stage)
In the first treatment stage, the tap water is treated with pretreated water: The feed
water is passed through the pretreatment cartridge by means of a membrane pump.
The pretreatment cartridge contains a combination of activated carbon, catalyst and
downstream reverse osmosis. The pretreatment cartridge removes particles, salts and
impurities, e.g. chlorine, from the tap water.
A large proportion of the impurities are discarded by means of a concentrate outlet
(drainage water outlet).
The treated water is stored in the bag for further use. The quality of the treated
water is monitored via a conductivity measuring cell (LFR).

Operating Instructions arium®mini plus | arium®mini | arium®mini essential 15
Device Description
Ultrapure water stage (second treatment stage)
In the second treatment stage, the pretreated water is purified to ultrapure water
(ASTM type 1): The pretreated water stored in the bag (arium®mini plus and arium®
mini) or directly fed pretreated water (arium®mini essential) is fed into the ultrapure
water circuit.
The water fed in can be freed from organic residues using an optional UV lamp
(185/254 nm). The pretreated water is then treated using the ultrapure water
cartridge (Scientific Pack).
The quality of the ultrapure water is monitored via a conductivity measuring cell (LFP).
3.5.4 Final Purification Stage
The ultrapure water passes through a final filter as it is dispensed. A sterile filter
or an ultrafilter can be used as a final filter.
3.5.5 Circulation of the Ultrapure Water
To guarantee ultrapure water of consistent and high quality, the ultrapure water
purification system is constructed like a circulation ring:
− If no water is dispensed, the water circulates through the UV lamp and
the ultrapure water cartridge.
− If there is no interaction with the device, the device automatically switches
to ECO mode.

4.3 Messages in Dispensing Mode
If several messages are active in dispensing mode, the message list can be called up
(see Chapter “4.4 Message List,” page 19). The message list only appears if several
messages are active and at least one water conductivity or temperature message
cannot be displayed. If only one message is active, the message is opened directly
instead of the message list.
Dispensing is not possible when there is an error message. The three buttons for
dispensing can be used, but when you try dispensing, the error message reappears.
