8.1.2
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. The complete
sanitization of the system is recommended to be performed if high
levels of bacterial contamination are found in the product water
feeding the analyzer. 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.
