3. PRODUCT AND PROCESS DESCRIPTION 3.1
Product Description
The PURELAB Option-S water purification unit has been specifically designed to provide a supply of purified water equivalent in quality to water prepared by single-distillation, but without the high energy cost associated with distillation. The PURELAB Option-S can be bench or wall mounted with an optional wall mounting kit. A range of accessories is available to complement the unit. (See Section 9 - Consumables and Accessories, for details).

Process Description
The PURELAB Option-S process links three purification technologies, reverse osmosis, adsorption and de-ionization and also incorporates an optional RO feed water boost pump. The unit is designed to operate from a good quality potable water supply, and produces either 7 or 15 liters per hour of purified reverse osmosis grade water which is collected in a treated water reservoir. A graphics screen displays the system status and provides control by means of three function buttons. The water is processed and treated by the PURELAB Option-S unit as follows: • Potable water enters through a strainer and inlet solenoid valve at either regulated mains water pressure, or is pumped by means of a feed water pump (optional), and passes through the pre-treatment cartridge. The pre-treatment cartridge has been designed to protect the reverse osmosis cartridges from particulate/colloidal matter and excessive free chlorine, which may be present in the incoming feedwater. • The permeate water then passes through one or two reverse osmosis cartridges, set up in series, which split the flow into permeate and concentrate streams. The permeate water is further purified whilst the waste concentrate stream is passed to drain. • The permeate water then passes through the ion-exchange cartridge which removes dissolved ionic impurities from the permeate water. • Finally, the water is passed through a: • Water quality sensor, which measures the resistivity of the water. • Temperature sensor which temperature measurement.

5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5.1
Unpacking the PURELAB Option-S
The following items should be supplied with your PURELAB OptionS: 1. PURELAB Option-S unit 2. Cartridge Pack LC141 3. Installation kit (LA513 or LA506) 4. Operator Manual 5. Mains Lead
5.2
Positioning the PURELAB Option-S
Before commencing with installation and operation of the PURELAB Option-S unit, please read and observe the following points. Environment The unit should be installed on a flat, level surface, in a clean, dry environment. The unit can also be wall mounted against a vertical wall capable of supporting the weight (for this we recommend the use of the wall mounting kit Part No LA610).
CAUTION!
Rear mounting locations points
Note:
If unit is to be wall mounted, ensure it is mounted on a substantial brick or concrete solid wall capable of supporting the operating weight of the system. If mounting the unit on the wall, use the wall mounting kit and follow the instructions included in the kit. Refer to specifications for unit weights.
The unit is designed to operate safely under the following conditions: • Indoor Use • Altitude up to 2000m • Temperature Range 5 - 40°C • Maximum Relative Humidity 80% @ 31°C decreasing linearly to 50% @ 40°C, non-condensating The unit is in Installation Category II, Pollution Degree 2, as per IEC1010-1.

Electrical The unit can be connected universally to any electrical supply in the range of 100 - 240V and 50 - 60Hz. The mains lead is supplied with a molded plug on one end and a molded connector to the unit on the other. The unit should be connected to an earth.
Mains power socket Fuse
ON/OFF switch
Drain A semi rigid flexible connection to a sink or suitable drain capable of handling at least 1.5 l/min is required. The drain point should have a gravity fall below the level of the unit and any connections direct to drain should have an air-break device fitted.
Mains power lead
Electrical Connections
Feed Water The feed water should be of good quality and comply with specifications provided. This should enter the unit via an 8mm (5/16") O/D semi rigid tube, and should be in the temperature range 1 to 35°C. CAUTION!
Direction of water flow
For pressurized feeds, the minimum direct inlet pressure is 4.0 bar (60 psi) and maximum inlet pressure is 6 bar (90 psi). Higher feedwater pressures must be reduced using a pressure regulator valve (Part No. LA512).
Collar Mesh filter
Operating with feedwater temperatures outside the range 1 to 35°C will cause damage to the PURELAB Option-S unit.
Reservoir feeds to the PURELAB Option-S unit should be positioned at the same height, or above the unit, to provide a positive flooded inlet pressure.
