OPTIMIZED RECIRCULATION LOOP Automatic recirculation Optimum water quality at the point-of-use At regular intervals, the stored purified water is recirculated and sanitized by a UV lamp in order to minimize bacterial growth in the storage reservoir. Before delivery, pure water from the Elix® Advantage system is again sanitized by a UV lamp and then filtered through a 0.22 μm final filter at the dispensing point. This reduces the bacterial count to less than 0.1 cfu/ml to provide optimum water quality for bacteria-sensitive applications. 20 E-POD® UNITS FOR CUSTOMIZED PURE WATER DELIVERY Customized,...
