Operating principle The Synergy Water Purification System is fed with pretreated water (Elix, RO, distilled or DI water) coming from a tank or a loop. When Product Water is being dispensed, the Inlet Solenoid Valve opens and the Booster Pump turns on. The pretreated water is then pumped into the UV Lamp (UV System). The UV Lamp emits light at 185 nm and 254 nm. It is used to reduce levels of organic molecules in the water. The UV Lamp is a consumable device that needs to be periodically replaced during the maintenance of the system. The water is then sent to the SynergyPak cartridge to deionize the water. There are three types of SynergyPak cartridge. SynergyPak 1 is used for RO, distilled or Elix feedwater. SynergyPak 2 is used for pretreated water from clean DI (particulate-free). SynergyPak 3 is used for pretreated water from dirty DI (non particulate-free). The SynergyPak cartridge is a consumable device that needs to be periodically replaced during the maintenance of the system. The Final Filter is a membrane based filter that removes all particles and bacteria with a size greater than the filter pore size. The Final Filter is a consumable device.

Installation Preparation of the System A

 Open the front cover. (this may require to remove the final filter) Locate the tie wrap used to hold the Booster Pump in place during shipping (A).

B

 Press on the tab of the tie wrap (B). Remove and pull the tie wrap out.

C

 Locate the protective foam found at the UV lamp cable. Remove it (C).

Connection of Tubing A

 Rotate the Synergy System so you can see the back of the system (see photo A).

Feedwater tubing

9

Installation Feedwater Tubing B

 Locate the Feedwater Tubing exiting from the bottom of the system (B). A 1/2 inch Female GAZ fitting with a screen filter is attached at the end of this tubing. Unroll it until the fitting reaches the Feedwater source.  Apply white tape on the thread of the 1/2 inch Male GAZ valve or fitting of the Feedwater source.

C

10

 Connect the fitting to the valve (C).

Installation Connection of the Power Cord  Turning on the System Power A

 Open the front cover of the system (A). (this may require to remove the final filter) This will allow the system to go into STANDBY mode once the system is powered.

B

 Plug the Power Cord into the system (B).  Plug the other end of the Power Cord into an appropriate source of electrical power (i.e. wall outlet). The system is immediately powered.  Open the Feedwater Supply Valve.

Start-up Displays C

 Once the system is powered, the system will start to display information about the software before going into STANDBY mode (C).

11

Installation Installation of the SynergyPak cartridge HAZARD

Do not touch the UV Lamp when replacing the SynergyPak cartridge.

Installation A

 Make sure the front cover is opened. STANDBY should be viewed on the Display (A).  Remove the SynergyPak cartridge from its shipping box.  Remove the protective caps on the ports of the SynergyPak cartridge and from the system.

B

12

 Locate the O-rings on the ports (B). Wet them with water. It is preferable to wet them with ultrapure water.

Installation C

 Install the SynergyPak cartridge until it is fully seated into the system ports as shown (C, D).

D

E

 CLOSE THE FRONT COVER.

13

Installation Installation of the Tygon® Tubing ATTENTION

A

Do not use any white tape on the threads of the Barbed Fitting. An O-ring is located inside the POU Dispenser to ensure water tightness between the threads of the POU Dispenser and the Barbed Fitting.  Locate the clear Tygon Tubing and the Barbed Fitting from the Accessories Bag.  Screw the Barbed Fitting onto the bottom end of the POU Dispenser (A).

B

14

 Push one end of the Tygon Tubing onto the end of the Barbed Fitting (B). Place the other end of the Tygon Tubing in a sink.

Installation Purging Air from the System A

 At this time you should have installed the SynergyPak cartridge, Barbed Fitting and the Tygon Tubing. Air trapped in the SynergyPak cartridge should now be purged from the system.  Press the Dispensing Button once to put the system into DISPENSING mode (A).  Dispense about 3-4 Litres of water from the system.

Hydrating the System  At this time, the Final Filter is not installed. Leave the system overnight or for several hours in PRE OPERATE mode (see Section Operating Modes). The system will regularly recirculate water and rinse off purification media inside the SynergyPak cartridge. Do not leave the system in STANDBY mode.  (The next morning) Press the Dispensing Button once to put the system into DISPENSING mode.  Allow about 1 Litre of water to be dispensed from the system.  Press the Dispensing Button once again. The system will finish dispensing water.  Remove the Tygon Tubing and the Barbed Fitting from the POU Dispenser.  The Final Filter needs to be installed.

(See Section Installation and Rinsing of the Final Filter).

15

Installation Installation and Rinsing of the Final Filter  Obtain a Final Filter. It can be the Millipak® Express 20 or the BioPak® Ultrafiltration Cartridge.

A

 Remove the Tygon Tubing and the Barbed Fitting from the POU Dispenser.  Screw the Final Filter onto the end of the POU Dispenser. The Final Filter should be turned until it is hand tight (A). Do not over tighten the Final Filter.

ATTENTION

Do not use white tape on the threads of the Final Filter. The POU Dispenser has an O-ring inside which provides a watertight seal.  Press the Dispensing Button once. This will bring the system into DISPENSING mode.

B

 Locate the air vent valve (not present on all types of Final Filters) on the top side of the Final Filter. Open this slowly but do not remove it.(B). Allow any air on the clear side of the Final Filter to be vented out.

ATTENTION

Air will not pass through the membrane filter in the Final Filter. If there is trapped air, then a reduction in Product Water flowrate can result.  Dispense about 1 Litre of water. Make sure all air is purged out.  Press the Dispensing Button once again. The system will finish dispensing water.  Leave the system in PRE OPERATE mode.

ATTENTION

It is highly recommended not to put Tygon Tubing or any other type of tubing on the end of the Final Filter. This can compromise the Product Water quality (bacteria can grow in the Tygon Tubing).  The Water System is now ready for use.

16

Installation How to Calibrate the Flowrate from the Synergy System (F02) Before calibrating the Product flowrate from the Synergy System, you will need a 1 Litre graduated cylinder to measure the total volume of water that will be dispensed. The Final Filter should be installed. 1

Press the Main and “-“ Buttons together to enter the menu. The Display will show F01.

2

Press the Main Button once. The Display will show F02 and the 60 second timer. The graduated cylinder will be blinking.

3

Press the Dispensing Button once. The system will dispense water for 60 seconds. The Display will show the timer counting down.
