LaMotte WATER DEMINERALIZER PXL 1129 - Manual (Page 3)

WA TER DEMINERALIZER
MODEL PXL · CODE 1129
IN TRO DUC TION
The Model PXL Demineralizer is designed to produce a large volume of
high quality demineralized water. The demineralizer has a faucet adapter
that easily connects to any faucet. As water passes through the column,
all cations and anions are exchanged by or absorbed onto the mixed-bed
resin to produce laboratory-quality demineralized water. The Model PXL
will demineralize about 50 gallons of water of average mineral content
before the resin requires replacement. The mixed-bed ion exchange
resin has an internal indicator which exhibits a color change when the
resin nears exhaustion. Replace the resin as soon as it begins to exhibit
an amber color. To order replacement resin, use Code R-1129.
NOTE: This softener DOES NOT yield water suitable for drinking.
IN STRUC TIONS FOR USE
1.
Connect adapter on inlet hose to faucet. Fully open clamp on inlet
hose. Slowly turn on faucet. Adjust the flow of water into softener
chamber until the stream of water is about 1/8 inch in diameter.
2. Fill chamber until a one-inch layer of water is visible over resin
column, then unclamp effluent hose at bottom of demineralizer. Let
effluent run to waste for about 3 minutes to wash out residues from
the previous water sample. During this time, adjust flow from faucet
to maintain the one-inch water level over resin column.
NOTE:
If demineralizer was stored with a one-inch layer of water
over resin, unclamp effluent hose as soon as faucet is turned on.
3. After the first volume of effluent has been discarded, start
collection of the demineralized effluent in a suitable container.
4. After a sufficient amount of demineralized water has been collected,
turn off faucet and clamp outlet hose. If demineralizer is to be
stored unused for any length of time, maintain a one-inch layer of
water over resin column to prevent resin from drying and cracking.
5. After softener is disconnected from faucet, clamp inlet hose.
