Routine Maintenance and Troubleshooting
WARNING:
Always turn your Circulating Bath OFF and disconnect it from the electrical power outlet
before performing any maintenance or service.
WARNING:
To avoid the potential for burns, allow the Circulating Bath to cool completely before
cleaning or performing any maintenance.
WARNING:
Always drain all fluid from the reservoir before moving or lifting your Circulator. Be sure
to follow your organization’s procedures and practices regarding the safe lifting and relocation of
heavy objects.
Maintaining Clear Bath Water
Optimum temperature and moisture conditions for algae growth exist when using water as a bath fluid. To
prevent algae contamination and minimize the frequency of draining the reservoir, an algaecide such as
TC-Fluid 1A should be used.
WARNING:
Do not use chlorine bleach.
Draining the Bath Reservoir
WARNING:
Bath fluids should be stored and disposed of according to applicable laws and
regulations.
Refrigerated / Heating Circulating Baths
Refrigerated / Heating Circulating Baths are equipped with a drain valve and port located either behind
the front access panel or on the right hand side of the unit.
To drain fluid from the bath, attach a short length of suitable 11.5 mm ID / 0.45 inch ID tubing to the drain
port and secure it using a hose clamp with a minimum ID of 18 mm / 0.7 inch. Open the drain valve using
a flat blade screwdriver. When closing the valve, do not over tighten.
WARNING:
Be sure to close the drain valve before refilling the bath reservoir. Do not over tighten.
