2. HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTES
PURELAB Prima products have been designed to be safe, however, it is important that personnel working on these units understand any potential dangers. All safety information detailed in this handbook is highlighted as WARNING and CAUTION instructions. These are used as follows:
WARNING! WARNINGS ARE GIVEN WHERE FAILING
TO OBSERVE THE INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONS.
CAUTION! Cautions are given where failure to
observe the instruction could result in damage to the equipment, associated equipment and processes.
2.1 Electricity
It is essential that the electrical supply to the PURELAB Prima is isolated before any items are changed or maintenance work performed.
The ON/OFF switch is located at the left-hand side of the unit. The mains power lead is located just behind the ON /OFF switch.
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
2.2 Pressure
The main water supply pressure should be isolated and residual pressure released prior to removal of any cartridges or carrying out work on the unit.
Switching off the electrical supply will isolate the source of pressure, but pressure trapped within the unit should be released.
2.3 Sanitization Chemicals
During the sanitization cycle a CT1 sanitization tablet is used and relevant safety information is included in this handbook. A safety data sheet conforming to COSHH regulations is also provided with the tablets and should be read before the tablet is used.
2.4 Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
Material safety data sheets covering the various replaceable cartridges are available upon request. Contact your local supplier or distributor.

3.2 Process Description
The PURELAB Prima process links two purification technologies, reverse osmosis, adsorption and also incorporates an optional RO feed water boost pump.
The unit is designed to operate from a good quality potable water supply, at 15°C and produces 7, 15 or 30 liters per hour of purified reverse osmosis grade water which is delivered to 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 Prima 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 water then passes the sanitization port and through one, two or three 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 is passed through a:
• Water quality sensor, which measures the conductivity of
the water.
• Temperature sensor which provides accurate
temperature measurement.
• Finally, the purified water is delivered to a treated water reservoir.
• To ensure that the quality of the purified outlet water from the unit is maintained at its highest level, the unit has an in­built automated auto-rinse cycle. The auto-rinse cycle is performed every time the process is initiated and consists of a 1 minute high flow rinse to drain across the reverse osmosis cartridges.
