Automated Endoscope Reprocessor Water Filtration
The Automated Endoscope Reprocessor Water Filtration system is designed
to provide high-quality water to AER’s by reducing sediment, particulate, and
bacteria that may be found in typical hospital water supply. Innovative pleating,
along with advanced design and construction technologies, effectively combine
two distinct areas of filtration in a single disposable cartridge to maximize water
throughput and filter life. The Sanitary Quick Change cartridge design enables
filter change-outs in a fraction of the time vs. traditional two-piece filter housings, providing a filter that is economical, easy to use and reduces the total cost
of filtration for your department.
The AER Water Filtration System is available in two configurations (left or right
inlet connection port) in order to be installed within a variety of locations including AER cart mounted and wall mounted. When installing, the manifold can be
easily configured for the water outlet to be opposite of the inlet by changing the
location of the outlet port (see ordering guide).

Simple As 1-2-3:
1. Push the cartridge release
button.
2. Twi s t the cartridge clock-
wise.
Easier to use than conventional two-stage water filters
The AER Water Filtration System offers a variety of features that simplify the way filters
are used in hospital departments and reduce the costs associated with operation and maintenance of conventional two-stage filters (see Figure 1).

3. P ull the cartridge down,
remove and discard.
Faster filter changes:
The Sanitary Quick Change cartridge allows for fast and easy filter changes in three easy
steps after shutting off the water and venting the pressure1. As compared to a conventional
filter system requiring the labor intensive change-out of 2 filter housings (see photo), the
Sanitary Quick Change cartridge requires only minutes (see Figure 2).
