4. TROUBLESHOOTING
There are only two components subject to failure or degradation that are amenable to user
diagnosis and correction:
• Fuses
• Hydrophobic capsule
Contact your local service representative or Micromeritics directly for all other difficulties
with the AquaPrep.
Fuses
If the AquaPrep fails to respond when the unit is turned on, first unplug the power cord and
check the fuse(s); replace if necessary. Refer to
, steps 1
through 5 for instructions on replacing the fuse. Check the power receptacle for its voltage to
prevent recurrence of the problem. Refer to Chapter 5 for ordering information.
Hydrophobic Capsule
Replace the hydrophobic capsule when excessive deterioration is detected. Refer to Chapter 5
for ordering information.
1. Turn off the AquaPrep.
2. Remove all tubing and clamps from the capsule. The tubing on the top of the capsule is
secured by a twist-lock fitting; turn the fitting counterclockwise to remove.
3. Pull the capsule from its retaining clips and discard.
4. Attach the tubes and clamps to their respective fittings on the new capsule. Squeeze the
clamps until 2 to 3 teeth are engaged. It’s usually easier to attach the tubes before
installing the capsule on the AquaPrep.
5. Snap the new capsule into its retaining clips on the side of the AquaPrep.
