6 Questions to Ask When Buying a Water Purification System
- What is your application and what type of water is needed? Type I, II, or III? Will you require ultra-low TOC lab water?
- What is your expected volume usage? How much is required per batch/day?
- What is the source of your current water? Are there special requirements for delivery?
- What is your budget? (This will determine the technology). What is the cost of ownership over five years?
- Where do you need the system in the lab(s)? Consider: top of counter, under counter, or wall mounting the unit. What is the overall footprint/real estate of the system(s) and components?
- What kind of warranty and service is provided? Is the system manufactured to quality standards and which ones? Is this a pharmaceutical application that needs to be validated?
Safety TipThere are not many safety risks with using a laboratory water purification system. However, as water is a major source of contamination in some labs—which is more of a hazard to experiments and results than it is to people—water purification systems can eliminate this issue by removing such contaminants from your water. Airborne contaminants can pose a hazard, but most of today’s systems include filters to protect against such contaminants. |
