Original Instructions
Depending on the unit ordered, the 230V units come with a 10 amp electrical cord for connecting
to a wall outlet in the EU, UK, US, China/Australia or India. The outlet for 230 VAC models
should be rated 230 VAC, 50 Hz, 10 Amps and be dedicated to the PS system only. A switchable
circuit breaker or a switch connected to the wall outlet should be located in close proximity to the
unit to provide easily accessible disconnect of the MAINS. For personal safety always use a three
conductor power cord with the WaterPro PS to insure connection of the unit with the MAINS
protective earthing ground. For safe operation the dedicated outlet must provide the protective
earthing ground connection to the cabinet.
Feedwater and Drain Requirements
The WaterPro PS Systems are designed for use with water which as been pre-purified, such as
distilled, reverse osmosis or deionized water with a conductivity of 100µS or less. Water with
higher conductivity such as tap water, will rapidly exhaust the deionization cartridges, and
therefore is not recommended. Refer to APPENDIX B: WATERPRO PS SYSTEM Specification
for estimated capacity of deionization cartridges.
The HPLC, UF and Hybrid models are equipped with a drain line that must be routed to an open
drain.
NOTE: When connecting the WaterPro PS to a non-pressurized feedwater supply, such as a
storage tank, the WaterPro PS System cabinet must not be located more than 5 feet above the
storage tank. The supply tube should be at least 1/4" inner diameter and the length of the supply
tube should not exceed 5 feet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: System performance, membrane, and cartridge life span are directly
related to the feedwater. It is important to establish feedwater quality before installing and
operating the unit. If you are uncertain about the quality of your feedwater, or would like us to
calculate the capacity of your system’s cartridges given your feedwater quality, contact Labconco
at (800) 821-5525.
Space Requirements
Wall mounted units require a minimum of 6" clearance on the bottom for cartridge/sump bowl
removal.
Refer to APPENDIX B: WATERPRO PS SYSTEM DIMENSIONS for dimensional drawings of
the WaterPro PS System.
