CHAPTER 2

2.1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE DEIONIZER

The Euronda Aquafilter deionizer makes it possible to reduce the amount of salts present in water, thus

enabling it to be used to feed steam sterilizers without causing damage to the sterilizers themselves that, in

some cases, may even be irreparable.

The system is based on the exchange of ions: the cation and anion groups linked to the resinous matrix

exchange H+ and OH- ions with the cations and anions present in the water, that are responsible for its

conductivity.

The unit of measure that makes it possible to evaluate the quality of the water produced is its specific

conductivity, normally expressed in µS/cm.

The deionizer is equipped with a probe that makes it possible to measure this parameter in the water

produced and, consequently, to inform the user when the water is characterised by a degree of salinity that is

no longer acceptable.

The volume of deionized water produced with a replacement of new resins amounts to approximately 240

litres (initial water conductivity: 370 µS/cm); bear in mind, however, that this value depends closely on the

conductivity value of the water to be treated.

The deionizer Euronda Aquafilter is unsuitable for treatment of water with high hardness and its use is not adequate if the water hardness is above 40°F. The deionizer has been designed to operate when connected to an Euronda E9 autoclave or to two Euronda

E9 autoclaves at the same time. The connecting kit for the second E9 autoclave is not included in the pack

and must be purchased separately. The gun is included in the pack.

Fig. 2.1 Components of the deionizer

The upper lid (1 of Fig. 2.1) is used to cover the unit; the leds (2),

red and green, indicate the quality of the water delivered by the

deionizer (limit value set at 15 µS/cm). The green light indicates

that the conductivity value is lower to the threshold. The red light

indicates that the quality of the produced water is no longer

acceptable, therefore it is necessary the resin substitution.

Ion exchange resins The ion exchange resins are the “functional” part of the device;

these are placed inside specific vessels (4). The lifetime in full

efficiency of vessels and heads is estimated to be about 5 years.

Water inlet/outlet The water supply is connected to the deionizer by means of a

snap-on union on the side (3), while it leaves the deionizer

through snap-on union above (7). The pipe then passes through

the rubber grommet on the side (8).

Manual water gun outlet The coiled tube of the manual gun is attached to the tap and the

tube leaving point (9).

Electrical connections

- Control card connector (6).

- Connector for connecting to the E9 INSPECTION®

autoclave (5) using a suitable cable.

- Plug (10) for connecting to the mains power supply (230

Va.c.).

CHAPTER 3

3.1 - INSTALLING THE UNIT

Attention: installation must only be carried out by qualified technicians. Before proceeding with installation, if the deionizer is to be connected directly to the autoclave, turn it off and

remove the power supply cable from the outlet.

1. Fasten the deionizer to the wall (fig. 3.1) using the relative screws supplied; the screw anchor can be

used on all kinds of wall: solid, perforated, building panels, porous concrete, etc.

Fig. 3.1 Installing the deionizer

NOTE: If the deionizer is not connected directly to the E9 INSPECTION®, i.e. if it is used with the water supplying gun, install it so that the leds can be clearly seen, in that the leds indicate whether the water delivered is acceptable or not. When using the unit in the manual mode (gun), only deliver water when the green led is on. The red led shines when there is no more resin but the water does not stop flowing from the gun. The operator must replace the resin to ensure the supply always takes place with the green led on. 2. As shown in fig. 3.2 unpack the cartridges, then insert the cartridge in the spacer ring and finally insert

the cartridge into the vessel with the gasket on the upper side.

Fig. 3.2 Inserting the ion exchange resins

3. Place the vessels in the head of the deionizer (fig. 3.2-2).

4. Fix the vessels in place by means of the spanner (fig. 3.2-3), turning them in the direction indicated by

the arrow (fig. 3.3-3). ONCE INSTALLED DO NOT REMOVE THE CARTRIDGES UNTIL THEY ARE EXHAUSTED, otherwise hydraulic leakage can occur.

5. Hydraulic connection: In connecting the tubes take care to not create any fold obstructing the water flow.

In connections with push-in fittings push in completely the tube and try to pull it to verify that accidental

disconnections cannot occur. If the tube must be removed, push in the collar of the push-in union, then

pull the tube.

Using the supplied connector connect the water supply attachment to the deionizer (fig. 3.3-1) using the

tube marked with a red plastic clamp; make sure the tube is fully inserted into the push-in connector

marked with a red collar. In the autoclave E9 INSPECTION® remove the closing screw with the size 3

hex spanner (fig. 3.3-2). With the tube, connect the deionizer to the autoclave, using the supplied elbow

union (fig. 3.3-3 and fig. 3.3-4).

9. Once installed, verify the unit functioning:

• open the water tap, drain some water by the water gun and verify that no water leakage occurs and the

green led shines;

• make the first autoclave load and verify that the system Aquafilter-autoclave works correctly.

NOTE: IF THE RED LED SHINES IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION MAYBE SOME WATER OF HYDRAULIC PRODUCTION TEST IS STILL INTO THE DEIONIZER. In such a case drain some water by

the water gun (1-2 litres) until the green led shines.

3.2 - SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Install the deionizer on a flat and vertical surface, keeping it away from all sources of heat.

2. Do not expose the deionizer to direct sunlight.

3. Only use original Euronda spare parts.

4. After installing the deionizer, do not remove the upper lid.

5. Use an electrical outlet with a suitable voltage and do not share the same outlet with other electrical

appliances so as to avoid current overloads (if the deionizer is connected to the external feeder).

6. Do not immerge any of the parts of the deionizer in water to clean them.

7. Keep away from children.

8. We recommend the installation of an anti-flood valve between the tap of the water supply system

and the deionizer, to avoid flooding of the dental surgery in the event of breakage of the connecting

tube.

9. When replacing the internal resins, make sure to close the tap upline from the Aquafilter (marked

with a red collar).

10. To avoid accidental flooding, always close the tap of the water supply system in leaving the dental

surgery.

CHAPTER 4

4.1 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE DEIONIZER

Clean the cover and the vessels of the deionizer using a soft cloth and, if need be, a non-abrasive and non-

aggressive (neutral pH) detergent.

If the deionizer is not used for 7 or more days, drain the water inside it completely, in order to prevent algae

or other deposits from forming. To drain the vessels close the supply tap (marked with a red collar), then

drain the water using the water gun, holding it under the Aquafilter’s level. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE VESSELS FOR WATER DRAINING. The responsible authority must carry out a periodical visual check on

tubes and overall good functioning of the device (suggested every six months). In case of malfunctioning call

the assistance service. Extraordinary maintenance must be executed by authorized technicians.

4.2 - REPLACING THE ION EXCHANGE RESINS

When the message to replace the resin appears on the autoclave display, or when the red light shines on

while water is being delivered, the resins must be replaced as illustrated in fig. 4.1. If necessary, replace the

vessel’s O-ring gasket.

4.3 - TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Probable cause Solution Water leakage in the joint between vessels and head of deionizer.

The resin vessel has not been properly tightened.

Screw in the vessels using the supplied spanner.

Water leakage from the inlet or outlet connections of deionizer.

The inlet or outlet tubes are not fully inserted into the push-in couplings.

Remove the tube from where the leakage occurs and insert it fully into the coupling.

The electrical connection between the deionizer and the autoclave is missing.

Make sure the connection between the deionizer and the autoclave is made correctly.

The water supply cock is closed.

Open the cock and wait for the vessels to be filled.

The deionizer-autoclave electronic interface card is faulty.

Contact an authorised technician.

The power supply is disconnected or faulty.

Check the power cable is effectively connected and, if it does not work properly, replace.

The deionizer does not supply the autoclave with water.

The gun is disconnected or faulty.

Check the gun connections. Contact an authorised technician.

Problems with the conductivity control card.

Try and disconnect power supply and then reconnect it. If the problem persists, contact an authorised technician. The red and green leds flash

intermittently.

The resin is running out.

Deionize another 1-2 litres of water, after which only the red light should remain on: at this point, replace the resins.

CHAPTER 5

5.1 - SCRAPPING INSTRUCTIONS

The Aquafilter deionizer has been manufactured using ferrous materials and plastics.

No particular operations are required after demolition.

Do not dump the unit; take it to a disposal company.

Always comply with the current laws governing the scrapping of material in the country of use.

Dispose of the used resins as dangerous waste and, therefore, in centres that are authorised for the disposal

of such materials. To dispose of the used resins, always comply with the current laws in the country of use.

The symbol on the appliance means that it must be disposed of as “sorted waste”.

The user must therefore send (or instruct other people to send) the unit to one of the sorted waste collection

centres set up by the local councils, or send it to the dealer against the purchase of an equivalent unit

(European Union only).

Sorted waste collection and the subsequent treatment, recovery and disposal operations facilitate the

production of equipment using recycled materials and limit the negative environmental and health effects

that may be caused by improper waste management.

Abusive dumping by the user will be punished according to law.
