3. OPERATION
The AquaPrep is simple and easy to operate; perform the following steps to begin the deaera-
tion process:
1. Fill a 10-liter, plastic container with deionized water which has been filtered with a
1-micron filter. Place the container on the floor directly below the AquaPrep.
The AquaPrep can aspirate water as high as 1-1/2 meters (5 feet); however the floor
position is recommended.
2. Insert the ends of the tubing into the water. Orient the tubing as follows:
• The end of the inlet tubing (supply) should be close to the bottom of the container.
• The end of the outlet tubing (return) should be just below (approximately 5 cm, or 2 in.)
the surface of the water so that splashing does not re-introduce air into the liquid.
It is important that the tubing is arranged at different levels. This promotes circulation and
ensures that all the liquid is exposed during the deaeration process.
3. Fill the beaker (supplied in the accessories kit) with deionized water and place it under the
Bubbler. Ensure that the end of the bubbler is submerged in the water approximately 0.32
to 0.64 cm (1/8 to 1/4 in.).
4. Place the On/Off switch (on the rear panel) in the On position (O); the power indicator
should illuminate.
The AquaPrep works only with water; do not use any other liquid. Do not use water
that contains a detergent or wetting solution.

Be sure to turn off the AquaPrep when water is not being deaerated. Failure to have
water circulating may damage the unit.
