All glass construction allows rapid descaling using strong mineral acids. A built in ""clean"" function and integral acid addition funnel make the cleaning operation simple and safe with no need to dismantle any of the glassware.
A flow sensing device will detect any reduction in the flow of cooling water to below the required level and will turn off the still before it can overheat. Sensing the flow of cooling water rather than its pressure is safer and allows the still to run normally on low ... Read more

"The Bibby Scientific D4000 water still is great for our purposes in an independent school chemistry department (age 13-18, lots of A-level chemistry). We are in a very hard water area (Epsom in Surrey) which makes life difficult and we have had to replace the still element several times, even though we clean it carefully and frequently. It has been very difficult on occasion to get spare parts, so I would rate after-sales service as poor, for this reason. However, the still itself is great and we use it all the time. I would recommend it to any other chemistry department. Value for money is very good as we have used it for a long time, although spare parts are expensive. I must say that one of our teachers has had to become very experienced at repairs! Our biology dept use the same model of still."

A flow sensing device will detect any reduction in the flow of cooling water to below the required level and will turn off the still before it can overheat. Sensing the flow of cooling water rather than its pressure is safer and allows the still to run normally on low pressure supplies down to 3psi (20kPa). As a fail-safe device there is an over-temperature thermostat mounted in the boiling chamber.
The Aquatron is very easy and safe to assemble and maintain. Both the acrylic safety screen and the cabinet lid are removable giving unrivalled access to the glassware components.
The control is a simple and effective system which can be fitted to virtually any type of reservoir vessel. It will turn the still off when the reservoir is full and restart it when the level in the reservoir drops as distilled water is removed for use making it fully automatic.
Produces 4 litres/hour single distilled water. Can operate standing on the laboratory bench or be wall mounted. Supplied with easy to fit wall mounting bracket.
