8 MAINTENANCE
To ensure optimum performance of the analyzer, routinely replace the
chemical reagents, in-line filter, UV lamp, and pump tubing. Chemical
reagents, in-line filters, UV lamps, and pump tubing must be purchased from
Ionics Instruments. Refer to Table 8 for the recommended maintenance
schedule. TOCMAINT is the part number for a customizable kit of all
maintenance items. When purchasing a kit the items will ship when the item is
scheduled. The kit may be set up to the analyzer’s maintenance schedule.
The replacement schedule for acid will depend on flow rates used and will be
indicated by the microprocessor (see the Installation Chapter for reagent
warning messages). A 3-year maintenance record log is provided for
convenience to ensure that all required maintenance is performed when
necessary.

* Operating life is based on the total time the analyzer is making measurements.
** The lifetime of the in-line filter will depend on the levels of particles in your water samples. If the
filter plugs frequently, contact Ionics Instruments for larger capacity filter devices.
*** Due to decomposition, the lifetime of the oxidizer is 3 months, whether the analyzer is in use or is
idle. The lifetime of the acid reagent is one year.
**** The analyzer is equipped with a RAM card. There is an option of using the RAM card for long-
term data storage and replacing the card when full. Additionally, the RAM card data may be
copied to a permanent archival device (such as a hard drive or floppy disk). Once the copying is
complete, the original RAM card may be reused. If the RAM card is reused, it does not need to
be replaced as part of an ongoing maintenance program.
