– User Guidelines and Troubleshooting

Use only DI or distilled water in the acoustic bath.

Daily water change is not required - the water is sterilized and filtered by the WCS 2.0.

Check and top-off the water level prior to daily use, to make up for evaporation.

Bleach the degas pump lines and bath monthly to remove any hidden algae colonies
– even with
the WCS 2.0 operating, some colonies may take hold in tubing or crevices.

Energy Saver option: When the ultrasonicator is not in use, place the CH05 in standby mode by
pressing the “START/STOP” button (refer to CH05 manual for additional information). In standby,
the pump continues to operate circulating the bath water through the WCS 2.0, but the cooling
circuitry is not energized.

laboratory bench Condensation from circulation of
chilled water, leaks from a hose

change to room temperature

not, open unit and visually check
