NOTE
Setting up the Water Bath and 750
If your equipment is not supplied with a 750, attach the heater /
circulator according to the manufacturer instructions.
Complete the following steps to install the 750:
1 Locate the two lengths of 1/2-inch plastic tubing (one long, one
short) and four stainless steel tubing clamps in the 750 tubing kit.
These instructions assume the 750 is placed to the right of the Apparatus
7 when looking at the front of the equipment. If your 750 is placed to the
left of the Apparatus 7, use the longer tubing when the instructions call
for the shorter tubing and the shorter tubing when the instructions call
for the longer tubing.
2 Slide a tubing clamp over one end of the shorter length of tubing
supplied. Carefully place this end of the tubing over the connector
labeled INLET on the 750 rear panel. Slide the tubing on until it
meets the rear panel.
3 Slide the tubing clamp over the connector and tighten securely.
4 Place a tubing clamp over the opposite end of the same piece of
tubing. Attach the tubing to the open end of the Y connector coming
from the barbed-angle tubing adapter on the right side of the water
bath.
5 Slide the tubing clamp over the connector and tighten securely.
6 Connect the water bath inlet located on the rear of the water bath to
the 750 rear panel connector labeled OUTLET in the same fashion
using the longer piece of tubing.

5 Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Water Bath / Acrylic Care
The water bath supplied with the Rotating Bottle Apparatus should be
maintenance free except for an occasional cleaning. If you use a water
bath algaecide or clear bath product, ensure it is compatible with PETG
and acrylic. The flow paths in the immersion circulator are primarily
stainless steel and should tolerate most clear bath formulations. Check
with the product manufacturer to be sure the product is safe for your
water bath.
• All of our water baths are fabricated entirely of commercial grade
acrylic. When using them with corrosive materials such as
hydrochloric acid or media containing salts, be sure to rinse them
thoroughly with deionized water immediately after each use, and dry
thoroughly with a soft towel or cloth.
• Do not clean with abrasive cleansers or cloths. Use deionized water
whenever possible. If you must use a cleanser or solvent, be sure that
it is as mild as possible, non-abrasive, and fully compatible with
PETG and acrylic before use. If in doubt, call the service department
for advice before proceeding.
• Do not use ammonia, window-cleaning sprays, kitchen scouring
compounds, or solvents such as acetone, gasoline, benzene, alcohol,
carbon tetrachloride, or lacquer thinner. These can scratch the
material’s surface and / or weaken it causing small surface cracks
called “crazing”.
