Installing a Pumped-Drain Rinse Arrangement with
Both Pumps
If greater flow is required through the rinse station, you may use the external
2-channel peristaltic pump to supply the rinse station, and use the built-in 2-
channel pump to drain the rinse station. Many variations of this configuration
are possible, such as using the built-in pump for the supply and using the
external pump for the drain.
For the EXR-8 extended rack, see the CETAC ASX
