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.

For non-humidified chambers operated above 15°C, a drain is not needed. Install the
3/8” plug into the drain connection.
Connecting the Water Supply
To ensure proper operation, distilled or deionized water is required as a supply on units
that have humidity control. If these water sources are not available contact CARON
customer service.
A water inlet fitting on the back of the unit and ¼” black tubing are provided to connect
the water supply to the chamber. Connect an appropriate water supply to the fitting.
Incoming line pressure should be regulated to not exceed 80 psi.
If a Condensate Recirculator water recycling system was purchased as a water supply,
refer to its user’s manual for proper installation of the water supply.
The drain line relies on gravity to remove water
from the chamber. The drain line must remain
below the chamber to drain properly. Kinks or
elevations in the drain line above the cabinet
drain will not allow the chamber to drain.
