 Save the complete packaging, including the cardboard box, for a possible inspection of them
and/or return shipment of the system.
Packaging for return shipment
If possible, use the original box and packaging material.
When these are no longer available, then:
 Protect the system from shock by packing it in bubble wrap and/or packaging foam and a
strong cardboard box.
N TE!
 nly a trained person should take the system out of operation.
 Prior to send back a operated device, empty the water and dry the system and take out
the cartridges.

Safety precautions
N TE!
bserve these safety precautions for your own safety!
CAUTI N
The VWR Ultrapure Water Systems are modern water purification system intended solely for
the treatment of potable water. The water it produces is not fit for drinking.
DANGER
Work may only be performed on the system electronics when the system has been switched
off and when ESD protection is in place. nly specially trained personnel may work on the
system’s electronics.
 Do not install or operate the system until you have carefully read through these operating
instructions and the notes and notices contained therein.
 ifting and carrying the ultrapure water system, e.g. to the installation location, should be
carried out by two people. To do this, lift the system in tandem at the two corner points
beneath the bottom plate.
 The CE mark is nullified if you make any structural changes to the system or install products
from other manufacturers in/on the system.
 Protect the system from frost. The temperature at the installation area must be between
+2 °C and +40 °C.
 Always observe the applicable, pertinent codes and regulations valid at the installation
location of the system and follow all applicable accident prevention regulations.
 The feedwater pressure must be at least 0.1 bar and at max. 6 bar or 1.45 to 87 PSI. When
the feedwater pressure is higher, install an external pressure reducer.
 A low pressure check valve is recommended to prevent back flow of feedwater from water
system.
 A grounded 100-240V, 50/60Hz electrical outlet must be available (see “Electrical
connections” on page 16).

Chapter 2
 Access to the power supply cord and plug may never be restricted or obstructed.
 Unplug the system from the power outlet for all maintenance work on the system.
 An atmospherically vented floor drain with a nominal diameter of at least 63 mm (2.48 inch)
(DN50 tube) must be present at the installation location. If no drain is provided it is
recommended that a water detector be installed for safety reasons (for European
specifications only). Failure to provide this will release the manufacturer from liability for any
water-induced damage that may result.
 Proceed as follows if the system is not to be operated for an extended period, e.g., over
extended weekend, or during a vacation period:
 Switch the system off (unplug the mains plug).
 Close the feedwater inlet (close the feedwater tap).
The pump would be damaged if the system were to run without any supply of feedwater. The
manufacturer will not accept any liability should this occur.
 The system must be disinfected or rinsed after an extended down time. The cleaning
procedure is described under “Cleaning” on page 53.
 The surface or wall on which the system is to be installed or mounted must have an adequate
load-carrying capacity (check the capacity and stability of the wall). The dry weight of the
system is given under “Dimensions and weight Puranity TU 3 +/6+” on page 14 and
“Dimensions and weight of Puranity TU 12+” on page 15.
 The surface on which the system is installed must be level and stable not to exceed a
maximum of 2% deviation from evenness is recommended.
 When installing the water purification system, always ensure that there is adequate space all
around the system (see “Accessibility to Puranity TU+ systems and pure water tank” on
page 17.) to ensure that ease of use or easy replacement of materials (e.g., filter change,
connection) is possible at all times.
 Visually inspect the system at regular intervals. Clean up any water or spills found around the
system immediately.

WARNING
Never look directly into a switched-on UV-lamp, as UV-light endangers eyesight!
CAUTI N
To avoid the risk of pinching, crushing, cutting or electrical shock, never perform maintenance
on the system without its protective housing, or while it is in operation. Maintenance work on
the system may only be performed by trained, authorized specialists.
 Wear safety gloves when working with cleaning solutions.
 If your skin should come into contact with a chlorine product, rinse it immediately with ample,
fresh water.
 The system, or system components, may heat up as a result of a defect. It is recommended to
always wear appropriate safety gloves to prevent skin damage or burns.
 Wear safety gloves when changing the UV-lamp, in order to prevent that your skin comes in
contact with the UV-lamp glass.
 Wear safety glasses when working with cleaning solutions.
 If your eyes come into contact with a chlorine product, rinse them immediately with ample,
fresh water and contact a physician at once.
 Check the UV-lamp before initial start.
 If the UV-lamp is broken:
 wear a breathing protector, filter category FFP3 and replace the UV-lamp. For
disposal the UV-lamp refer to “Equipment disposal” on page 63.
 ventilate the room well.
 To avoid tripping, ensure that the tubings do not lay over the floor.
 Apply the general rules of hygiene for laboratories when working with the system.
 Do not use any oxidative cleaning agents for cleaning the system. These can damage the
system.
