3. OPERATION
The AquaPrep is simple and easy to operate; perform the following steps to begin the deaera-
tion process:
1. Fill a 10-liter, plastic container with deionized water which has been filtered with a
1-micron filter. Place the container on the floor directly below the AquaPrep.
The AquaPrep can aspirate water as high as 1-1/2 meters (5 feet); however the floor
position is recommended.
2. Insert the ends of the tubing into the water. Orient the tubing as follows:
• The end of the inlet tubing (supply) from the capsule should be close to the bottom of
the container.
• The end of the outlet tubing (return) from the front panel connector should be just below
(approximately 5 cm, or 2 in.) the surface of the water so that splashing does not re-
introduce air into the liquid.
It is important that the tubing is arranged at different levels. This promotes circulation and
ensures that all the liquid is exposed during the deaeration process.
3. Fill the beaker (supplied in the accessories kit) with filtered deionized water and place it
under the bubbler. Ensure that the end of the bubbler is submerged in the water
approximately 0.32 to 0.64 cm (1/8 to 1/4 in.).
The AquaPrep works only with water; do not use any other liquid. Do not use water
that contains a detergent or wetting solution.
