    7 Water Purification System Performance Metrics Every Facility Should Monitor

    A high-purity water system can appear to be operating normally even when its performance is beginning to decline. Water is flowing. Storage tanks are filling. Equipment is running. And the final water-quality reading may still be within specification. But small changes in membrane rejection, pressure, flow, or consumable life can indicate developing problems long before…

    Before You Upgrade Your High-Purity Water System, Check These 6 Things

    An aging water purification system doesn't always need to be replaced. Before investing in new equipment, take a closer look at what your facility needs today and what your current system can still deliver. High-purity water systems often remain in service long after the facilities around them have changed. A laboratory adds new instruments. Production…

    Why Are My DI Cartridges Exhausting So Quickly? 7 Common Causes

    If your deionization (DI) cartridges used to last several months but now need replacing every few weeks, something may have changed in your water purification system. The obvious solution is to replace the exhausted resin. But when cartridge life keeps getting shorter, replacing consumables may only address the symptom. DI resin has a finite ion-exchange…

    Why Does an RO/DI Water System Need Pretreatment?

    Reverse osmosis and deionization get most of the attention in a high-purity water system. But the performance of those technologies depends heavily on what happens before the water reaches them. Feedwater can contain hardness, suspended solids, chlorine, chloramine, iron, organics, and other contaminants that can foul membranes, damage treatment components, shorten DI resin life, or…

    Can Your Existing Water Purification System Handle Increased Demand?

    A water purification system does not have to be broken to become inadequate. A system that was properly sized five years ago may now be supporting more people, more equipment, longer operating hours, or additional points of use. The water may still meet its required quality specification, but the system can struggle to produce, store,…

    Why Is My RO/DI Water System Losing Water Quality? 8 Common Causes

    Your RO/DI water purification system was producing water within specification. Now conductivity is rising, resistivity is falling, or the system is struggling to maintain the quality your laboratory or facility requires. What changed? Declining water quality is one of the most common reasons facilities investigate their purification equipment. Sometimes the cause is straightforward, such as…

    Lab Water Purification Systems for Academic Research Facilities

    Academic research facilities rarely have one simple purified-water requirement. A chemistry lab may need Type II water for routine reagent preparation. An analytical lab may need Type I water for HPLC or mass spectrometry. Teaching laboratories may need reliable purified water at several benches. Autoclaves, glassware washers, environmental chambers, and other equipment may have their…

    USP Purified Water Systems for Pharmaceutical and cGMP Environments

    USPPharmaceutical and biotech facilities often need more from a water purification system than simply producing low-conductivity water. The system may also need sanitary construction, controlled distribution, microbial management, monitoring, documentation, qualification support, and a design that fits the facility's cGMP requirements. That is where a USP purified water system differs from a general laboratory RO/DI…

    What Water Quality Does a Laboratory Glassware Washer Need?

    Laboratory glassware washers do more than remove visible residue. The cleaning process also needs to leave glassware suitable for the testing, research, production, or preparation that comes next. That makes water quality an important part of washer performance. Tap water may be acceptable for certain wash stages, but dissolved minerals, hardness, salts, silica, and other…
