Your MEGA-PURE One Liter Water Still allows you to replace tap water
boiler feed with demineralized, distilled or reverse osmosis water for low
maintenance operation and high purity distillate. Distilled water storage
can be easily handled in the optional 6-liter polyethylene or 9-liter Pyrex
brand storage bottle. Either fits conveniently inside the water still cabinet
and dispenses distilled water through a valve which is accessible at the front
of the still.
Your MEGA-PURE One Liter Water Still is rated at either 120 volts,
50/60 Hz, 1000 watts, single phase or 220-240 volts, 50/60 Hz, 1000
watts, single phase. This unit requires approximately 11 to 15 liters per
hour of cooling water.
The cabinet and glassware are protected against damage from overheating
by a thermal switch.
Warning Do not mount the MEGA-PURE One Liter Water Still directly
over equipment that requires electrical service. Routine maintenance of this
unit may involve water spillage and subsequent electrical shock hazard if
improperly located. s
Note Operation of the still at a voltage less than the stated voltage will
cause a drop in still output. s
Electrical Service Your water still is supplied with a power cord (5 feet long) and plug. The
Requirements plug on the 120V unit requires a standard North American 120V, 15A, 3-
prong receptacle. The plug on the 220-240V unit requires a standard
European 220-240 volt receptacle (see Figure 6-1). If you do not have the
required receptacle available within 5 feet of your still, a certified
electrician should install one in accordance with local and national
standards. As an alternate method of power supply for a 240 volt unit,
your electrician may remove the supplied plug and wire the cord to a 15A-
250V breaker box (see Figure 6-2).
Warning Do not mount the MEGA-PURE One Liter Water Still directly
over equipment that requires electrical service. Routine maintenance of this
unit may involve water spillage and subsequent electrical shock hazard if
improperly located. s
Water Supply We recommend one of the following options for supplying water to
Requirements operate your MEGA-PURE One Liter Water Still.
OPTION #1
A single, untreated cold water supply. The supply must be capable of
providing a minimum of 4 gallons (15 liters) per hour at a pressure of
20-100 psi and be located within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of the MEGA-
PURE One Liter Water Still. You must provide a shut off valve and
reducer as shown in Figure 6-3.
With Option #1, approximately 4 gallons of untreated water will be used
per hour in the cooling section of the still, 1 gallon of this water will be
used as boiler feed.Water connections are discussed in “Feedwater
Connections” later in this manual.
OPTION #2
An untreated cold water supply plus a source of reverse osmosis, dem-
ineralized or previously distilled water. The untreated supply must be
capable of providing a minimum of 4 gallons (15 liters) per hour at a
pressure of 20-100 psi and be located within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of the
water still. The treated supply must be capable of providing 1 gallon
(3.75 liters) per hour and be located within 4 feet of the water still. You
must provide a shut-off valve and reducer at each water supply (see
Figure 6-3). In addition, the optional double solenoid valve kit is
required.
With Option #2, approximately 4 gallons of untreated water will be used
each hour for cooling. The second (treated) water supply of 1 gallon per
hour will be used as boiler feed. Water connections are discussed in
“Feedwater Connections” later in this manual.
Drain An open or atmospherically vented drain located lower than the still is
necessary to allow for gravity flow. The manufacturer supplies a 5 foot
length of 1/2" I.D. vinyl tubing for the drain. Additional tubing may be
purchased from your laboratory dealer.

2. Open valve at tap water source and treated water source, if so installed.
4. Push “Water” switch on control box "H". Green indicator will light
and solenoid will open. Allow boiler to fill.
5. Push “OPERATE” switch. Indicator will light and heaters come on.
6. Allow the still to operate for 15-20 minutes. For maximum volume of
distillate, increase the flow of cooling water to the point where only a
slight wisp of steam is visible at the condenser vent "A." If a separate
source of pretreated water is being used for your boiler feed, adjust the
boiler feed flow so that a constant overflow from the boiler is
maintained.
8. To shut your water still off, push the OFF switch. This will shut the
water supply and the heaters off. If any difficulties are encountered in
operating this water still, check all operating and assembly steps to be
sure the still was assembled and is being operated correctly. If the
difficulty still exists, consult the Troubleshooting section of this
manual.
Caution - Hot Surface. Avoid Contact.” Glass portions of still become hot
when still is operating. To avoid burns, do not touch hot glass. s
High Temperature Your MEGA-PURE One Liter Water Still is protected against overheating
by a thermal switch located in the control box at the right hand side of the
Cut-off Switch boiler. Should the boiler overheat, the switch will open, causing the heater
and water supply to shut off. When the boiler cools (5-15 minutes), the
switch will reset automatically, but the still will have to be restarted by the
operator. When unit has cooled, press the “WATER” switch and then the
“OPERATE” switch to restore normal operation. Check boiler occasionally
for proper water level.
Note If you are feeding an ACS with your still, note that when the ACS is
full, it will signal the still to shut down. During this shut-down, the heater
and the water supply will both shut off and the front panel lights on the
still will be extinguished. This normal operation can mimic the effects of
an overheating boiler, but does not represent any problem with the still. s
When using untreated boiler feed, cleaning is recommended after every 15-
20 hours of operation. The unit should be cleaned with a hydrochloric acid
solution. Follow the procedure below:
3. Drain boiler by opening clamp "G." Close clamp "G" after boiler has
completely drained. Refill boiler.
4. Use the spare pinch clamp from the parts box to shut off overflow tube
from constant level chamber "K" as close as possible to overflow stem.
7. Carefully drain the unit, remove clamp from overflow tube and refill
with fresh water. Drain boiler, refill with fresh water and operate for 30
minutes. Reconnect tubing from collection vessel to condenser "B."
Warning Wear eye and hand protection when using acid for cleaning, as
acid spattering may occur. s
Troubleshooting -
General
The most common leak is one occurring in the vinyl drain Runs of vinyl tubing should be supported to
Leaks tubing. Hot water causes softening and pulling loose at reduce the pull on the plastic connectors. Small
the plastic barbed connectors. clamps may be used to firmly hold vinyl tubing.
2. Connect the demineralizer input jack back up to the still control box
and attempt to run the still. If still fails to run see “Demineralizer
Troubleshooting” (in the Demineralizer Manual). If still runs, see
“Automatic Collection System Troubleshooting.”
Still Troubleshooting
Heaters and water will not stay on. Hi-Temp cut-off switch open. Remove control box and replace switch.
