There are only two components subject to failure or degradation that are amenable to user
diagnosis and correction:
• Fuses
• Hydrophobic capsule
Contact your local serviceman or Micromeritics directly for all other difficulties with the
AquaPrep.
Fuses
If the AquaPrep fails to respond when the unit is turned on, first unplug the power cord and
check the fuse(s); replace if necessary. Refer to Chapter 2 for instructions on replacing the
fuse. Check the power receptacle for its voltage to prevent recurrence of the problem. Refer to
Chapter 5 for ordering information.
Hydrophobic Capsule
Replace the hydrophobic capsule when excessive deterioration is detected. Refer to Chapter 5
for ordering information.
1. Unplug the AquaPrep from its power source.
2. Remove the four screws along the sides and the two screws at each end, then lift off the
top cover.
3. Remove the tubes from the barbed fittings at each end.
4. Remove the two tubes from the central portion of the capsule which is the white object
transverse of the unit, and unstrap it from its tie-down.
5. Install the new capsule with its strap tie-down.

The power cord should be disconnected from the AquaPrep before removing the
