Maintaining the

Aridus II™

Routine maintenance of the Aridus II

™

consists of daily, weekly and monthly

procedures for specific system components and expendable supplies used in

the system. Maintenance includes checking the Aridus II

™

System components

for leaks or other problems/damage. Some applications may require frequent

maintenance procedures to be followed, e.g. flushing the membrane

desolvation system after prolonged exposure to high dissolved solids.

The Aridus II

™

must be turned off and the AC power cord unplugged before

performing any maintenance on the system.

Cleaning the Aridus II

™

Cleaning the Aridus II

™

is an important task. Failure to clean the Aridus II

™

can

cause increased wear and reduce the system’s operating life. It is especially

important to clean up any liquid spills, particularly of any acidic solutions.

Note that it may be necessary to chemically neutralize spills. The following

sections explain daily external and internal cleaning procedures.

Daily External Cleaning

Use of the Aridus II

™

can result in spills on the top lid of the unit. To clean any

external spills complete the following steps:

Turn the power switch to off (O) and disconnect the power cord to the

Aridus II

™

Wipe the top and sides of the Aridus II

™

using a towel dampened with a

laboratory-grade cleaning agent.

Repeat step 2, using a towel dampened with clear water. This process removes

any remaining contaminants.
