Animal watering is done using either drinking bottles placed in each cage, or an automatic watering system. The US National Research Council Guide for the Care and

Use of Laboratory Animals is recognized in many countries as the standard for quality animal care and use.

Challenges and requirement

- Organics

Some organics, such as pesticides, endocrine disrupters, etc. which may be present in tap water, can affect the health of laboratory animals and interfere with the research being conducted. In addition, in the presence of chlorine, organics may form disinfection by-products (DBP), some of which are thought to be carcinogenic

or affect reproduction.

- Bacteria

Bacteria can cause serious health problems to the animals and are a main concern in animal facilities. Immuno-compromised and transgenic animals are especially sensitive to bacterial contamination. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, for example, is an opportunistic pathogen commonly found in water, and may affect the health of vulnerable animals.

- Heavy metals

High levels of heavy metals (copper, iron, zinc, lead …) can be toxic for health-compromised animals. These metals can be leached from piping. Ions and metals present in water can be greatly removed by reverse osmosis.

- Hardness and particles

Hard water deposits and particles can damage the valves of automated watering systems, and cause leaks inside the animal cages. They will also increase the need for system maintenance.

0.86m2

• Highly integrated water purification system containing pretreatment module, RO membrane, water tank ect. inside.
• It occupies only 0.86 square meters - Maximum space saving

Internal 350L water tank

• Water tank is integrated into the main structure to save your valuable laboratory space
• The water reservoir is made through cylindrical mold and blow molding process to avoid the generation of velum
• Standard vented filter prevents microorganism maintains consistent purity of stored water
• 5-level float sensor control for automatic water production and shutdown

8.0-inch touch screen

• Intelligent control with man-machine interaction
• 8.0 inches colored touch screen for multi-parameter display with consumable life indicator
• Two different water supply mode - direct mode & recirculation mode
• Three recirculation modes (day, night, holiday) to prevent bacteria growth in the distribution loop

Dual-system backup control module (optional)

• Two Biopure ROE systems can supply high quality water at the same time to fulfill peak water usage. The control module can shift to one system supply mode for daily maintenance.

Push-to-sterilize

• Just a simple key press to sterilize reverse osmosis, recirculation pumpline and water tank, ensuring water quality

Quiet and energy-saving pump

• Self-induced high pressure pump with low noise and minimal vibration ensures water flow varies less than 10% when supply water pressure changes 50%, making the pressure of distribution loop stable and RO, EDI module safe

Remote monitoring and control system (Optional)

• You can not only monitor the real time working status and parameters, but also control the system from a distance. Data storage and print, USB interface configurations promote management efficiency, and control cost. It is perfectly designed for your Smart laboratory.

Additional

• Prefilter- Save worry, save time, save money
• Prefilter with antiscale agent replaces quartz sand to eliminate sand, silt, clay and other suspended particles which may cause interference to the following purification steps

Multiple valve- automatic operation

• Active carbon tank incorporate multiple valve to control the forward and backward rinsing automatically.

Resistivity meter- Patented low cell constant (0.01cm-1)

• Low cell constant (0.01cm-1) with automatic temperature compensation (0.1℃ resolution) ensures optimum measurement accuracy of low ionic contamination
