8.2.2 Sanitization Procedure for the unit and docking
vessel/reservoir
The unit and docking vessel/reservoir may be sanitized to destroy
bacteria within the pipework and filters of the unit. This sanitization of
the system is recommended to be performed if high levels of bacterial
contamination are found in the product water feeding the analyser.
Should bacterial contamination of the product water be suspected,
samples should be taken by trained staff and analyzed for bacterial
counts. If the counts are abnormally high, ELGA LabWater technical
support or your local representative should be contacted for advice
and assistance.
It is recommended that only ELGA LabWater service personnel or
other fully trained staff should perform the sanitization procedure for
the unit and docking vessel/reservoir.
