Water Systems and Associated Gear

• Nano-pure Diamond UV ultra-pure water de-ionization system. Providing Science grade de-ionized water, converted from RO water provided by the RO-pure system. Located forward, against the bulkhead, in the Wet Lab the system provides DI water with a flow rate of 15 lpm and a water pressure of 10 psig.
• RO-pure Infinity Premier Model Reverse Osmosis System, providing RO water to both the lab and to the DI system mentioned above. The system passes tap water across a thin film, composite membrane producing RO water at roughly 30 lph. The system is located forward in the wet lab where tanks are located to hold a resevior of both DI and RO water for scientific uses.
