What is the Centra-Rds Water Purification System?
The Centra-RDS Water Purification System is an advanced and reliable solution specifically designed for laboratories that require a continuous supply of high-purity water.
This system combines Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Deionization (DI) technologies to produce Type I and Type II grade purified water. Its compact design and built-in storage tank make it ideal for both small and large lab environments.
Centra-RDS doesn’t just filter water — it ensures consistent quality, flow control, and contamination-free delivery, which is essential for HPLC systems, clinical analyzers, and sensitive research instruments. If you’re looking to upgrade your lab’s water system, the Centra-RDS is a smart, space-saving, and long-term investment.
How Does The CENTRA-RDS System Work?
The Centraz-RDS System operates through a highly efficient, multi-stage water purification process that ensures a continuous supply of high-purity water for laboratory applications. It begins with reverse osmosis (RO), which removes dissolved salts, organic contaminants, and microorganisms.
The water then passes through deionization (DI) cartridges that eliminate ionic impurities, delivering Type I or Type II grade water based on application needs. A built-in reservoir stores the purified water and supplies it on demand to various lab instruments through an integrated distribution loop.
The system also features real-time monitoring, an intuitive LCD, and automatic alerts for filter changes or system maintenance, making it a reliable, user-friendly solution for labs that cannot compromise on water quality.
