What is Type II pure water and what is it used for?

Type II pure water, also known as 'pure water', has a resistivity typically >1 MΩ·cm. It is suitable for general lab applications, preparing buffers, and as feed water for ultrapure (Type I) systems.

How does the Elix Advantage system purify water?

The system typically uses a combination of pre-treatment (e.g., activated carbon, anti-scalant), reverse osmosis (RO) to remove ions and particulates, and Elix® electrodeionization (EDI) for continuous deionisation without chemical regeneration.

What are the ongoing consumables for this system?

Regular consumables typically include pre-treatment packs (e.g., Progard® cartridges) and potentially a UV lamp if the unit is equipped with one for bacteria control. The Elix module itself has a long lifespan.

Can this system produce ultrapure (Type I) water?

No, the Elix Advantage system produces Type II pure water. To achieve Type I ultrapure water, a dedicated ultrapure water system would typically be fed by the Type II water from this unit.

Is installation complex for this type of system?

Installation typically involves connecting to a potable tap water supply, a drain, and an electrical outlet. Professional installation is often recommended to ensure optimal performance and correct setup.
