Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ELGA from 3G Electric.
What types of water purity do ELGA systems produce?
ELGA systems are designed to produce Type I (ultrapure), Type II (pure), and Type III (primary grade) water. Type I water has a resistivity of 18.2 megohm-cm and is suitable for sensitive analytical applications. Type II water typically has a resistivity of 1-10 megohm-cm and is used for general laboratory work. Type III water is produced from potable mains water and is suitable for feed to other purification systems or for non-critical applications.
Are ELGA UV lamps like the LC118 compatible with other ELGA system models?
The ELGA UV lamp model LC118 is specifically compatible with manufacturer model number CN060RDM1-115. It is not a universal lamp for all ELGA systems. Always verify the compatible manufacturer model number before ordering. 3G Electric lists the compatible model number in the product specifications to help ensure correct selection.
What is the typical feed water requirement for ELGA benchtop systems?
ELGA benchtop systems, such as those with part numbers SK-PC1GSHSIIK and SK-CLXXXUVM2-KIT, require a reverse osmosis (RO) feed source. Wall-mounted systems like the B114/A can operate directly from potable mains water supply. Feed connections are either 1/4" NPT or 1/2" NPT depending on the model.
Can ELGA storage tanks be used with other water purification brands?
ELGA storage tanks, such as the 40-liter Type II tank (part LA612), are designed for use with ELGA systems and are compatible with specific manufacturer model numbers like OR015BPM1. Using them with non-ELGA systems may require adapters or may not meet pressure and purity specifications. Check the tank's water purity type and connection dimensions before integration.
What is the flow rate range for ELGA water purification systems?
ELGA systems have flow rates ranging from 1.2 L/min for combined Type I/II/III systems (e.g., SK-PQDIXXM1-KIT2) to 30 L/hr for Type II wall-mounted units (e.g., B114/A). Benchtop Type I systems typically deliver 2 L/min. Flow rate depends on the system model and feed water quality.
How do I verify the correct ELGA replacement part for my system?
Use the manufacturer part number (MPN) listed on your existing system or component. For example, the UV lamp LC118 is identified by MPN LC118. Cross-reference this with the compatible manufacturer model number provided in the product specifications. 3G Electric includes both the brand MPN and compatible model numbers in the product details to simplify identification.
