Substance Feed Water Condensate
Chloride (Cl) ≤ 2 mg/l ≤ 0.1 mg/l
Phosphate ≤ 0.5 mg/l ≤ 0.1 mg/l
Conductivity (at
20°C)
≤15 µs/cm ≤ 3 µs/cm
pH value 5 to 7.5 5 to 7
Hardness ≤ 0.02 mmol/l ≤ 0.02 mmol/l
Appearance Colorless, clean, without sediments
Compliance with the above data should be tested in accordance with
acknowledged analytical methods, by an authorized laboratory.
Caution:
The use of water for autoclaves that do not comply with the table
above may have severe impact on the working life of the sterilizer
and can invalidate the manufacturer’s guarantee.
Use only deionized water, having a maximum conductivity of 15
µs/cm. Conductivity greater than 15 µs/cm may cause failures.
1.12.1 Tap water supply
The range of hardness value 0.7-2.0 mmol/l (70- 200 mg/l CaCO3)
The use of soft water is strictly forbidden!
Please consult a water specialist!
Note: We recommend testing the water quality once a month. The use of water
for autoclaves that does not comply with the table above may have severe
impact on the working life of the sterilizer and can invalidate the
manufacturer’s guarantee.
