1. This ultrapure water dispensing system has been engineered to consistently produce ultrapure water exceeding every requirement for ASTM Type purity The system is user friendly requires minimal space and maintenance and harmonizes with existing laboratory equipment all at a low initial investment and low operating cost A central dispensing station can supply the high quality water needs of one lab bench or an entire laboratory The system may be wall mounted set on a bench or free standing where bench space is of a premium A unique feature of the Gemini is the Multi Pass UV treatment system in which water passes through a special system of self cleaning Teflon coils While in these coils the water is exposed to the appropriate amount of ultraviolet wavelength to produce biological control This patented technology eliminates the performance deterioration that has been seen over time in other systems and minimizes the maintenance and operating costs compared to other systems The influent water is treated by UV irradiation prior to entering the polishing cartridges phase thereby protecting the system s critical components from bio contamination biofilm buildup and eventual spill over into the product water The polished water is again UV irradiated before leaving the unit The Gemini delivers water of unsurpassed microbiological organic and ionic purity through the dispensing faucet which is continuously exposed to UV2. Ver 2 1 Thank you for purchasing the Gemini High Purity Water Dispensing System For optimum performance and safety please read and follow these instructions carefully You have a quality world class water treatment system that will provide ultrapure water for many years of trouble free operation Years of engineering and practical experience went into manufacturing this appliance which will dispense water exceeding every requirement for Type water purity To assure that you operate and maintain this unit properly and safely please read this manual carefully In order that we may keep you informed regarding your unit please take a moment to complete and mail the owner registration card provided with this appliance If you have any questions concerning the operation of the unit or need service refer to section 11 0 REQUESTING SERVICE When requesting service you will need the model and serial number as well as the purchase date of your unit For your convenience record this information below Model Number Date Serial Number Dealer Contact Phone Cartridge 1 Part Number Cartridge 2 Part Number Cartridge 3 Part Number Options Installed ARIES a division of ResinTech Inc 160 Cooper Road West Berlin NJ 08091 Phone 856 768 9600 Fax 856 768 9601 www arieswater com Section 1 0 2 0 3 0 3 1 4 0 5 0 5 1 5 2 5 3 5 4 5 5 5 6 5 7 5 8 5 9 6 0 7 0 8
