Use only distilled or deionized water with a
resistivity between 50K
-CM and 1M
-CM and
a pH of greater than 6.5. Using water outside
this range will void your warranty.
Do not use water that contains chloramines.
Chloramines can damage internal rubber
gaskets resulting in leaks.
High concentrations of carbon dioxide can
