1.0 INTRODUCTION
WARNING: This entire Bicarb System Operations Manual should be completely read
before operating or servicing the system. This Operations Manual should
then be kept near the system and used as a reference guide.
This manual has been provided for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Bicarb
Manual Mix and Dispensing System. The AmeriWater Bicarb System is constructed of a
virgin polyethylene tank with a cone bottom, complete drain fittings, and 12-inch gasketed fill
hole. Piping and true union valves are PVC schedule 80. The pump is 115V, single-phase
8.5 amp motor, with all stainless steel design. The pump control is 115V. The high vortex
pumped mixing action provides complete mixing in minutes and keeps the bicarbonate
powder in solution.
The Bicarb System is designed to mix and dispense Bicarb solutions. The system is not
equipped with monitoring devices such as conductivity, or pH. Therefore, the solution
manufacture’s procedures should be followed, and are the sole responsibility of the user.
CAUTION:
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician
for use in hemodialysis applications.
Please read the Operations Manual before using the system.
