Use only distilled or deionized water with a
resistivity between 50K
-CM and 1M
-CM and
a pH of greater than 6.5. Using water outside
this range will void your warranty.
Do not use water that contains chloramines.
Chloramines can damage internal rubber
gaskets resulting in leaks.
If a floor drain is not available, CARON offers a water recirculation system accessory
(CRSY102) that acts as both a water supply and a drain for humidified incubators. This
system continuously recycles any excess water not needed by the incubator, filters and
conditions it, and reuses it to control humidity.

.
If neither a floor drain, nor a CRSY102 are available, another option is a carboy for a
water source and a plug in the interior incubator drain. While this solution is not
recommended due to the creation of standing water in the bottom of the incubator, it will
allow the incubator to control humidity, with some limitations, while not requiring a drain.
BOTL101 is a carboy accessory that can be purchased through CARON. A drain plug
is provided in the shipping kit for each incubator.
Connecting the Water Supply
To ensure proper operation, distilled or deionized water is required as a supply on units
that have humidity control. If these water sources are not available contact CARON
customer service.
The drain line relies on gravity to remove water
from the incubator. The drain line must remain
below the incubator to drain properly. Kinks or
elevations in the drain line above the cabinet
drain will not allow the incubator to drain.
