Cyclon ultrapure water still
Fistreem have been leaders in water still innovation for many years with a worldwide reputation for design, quality and reliability.
Distillation is recognised as offering considerable advantages being fail safe in concept and consistently free from impurities including inorganics, organics, microorganisms and pyrogens.
Fistreem Ultrapure Water Stills improve on this concept through a unique patented vapour trap which creates a 'cyclonic' effect eliminating all vapour borne droplets, ensuring that there is no carry over of impurities in the distillate. The resultant pyrogen free water is therefore at the highest purity - at all times. Featured here are the high specification Cyclon systems together with the budget designed Calypso range.
The Fistreem Cyclon is a revolutionary concept in distillation, surpassing all accepted purity, performance and reliability levels of traditional water stills.
The Cyclon has been designed to provide the many benefits of distillation with the minimum of fuss and maintenance.
Through microprocessor control, a thermistor sensor manages many aspects of the still's operation by automatically sensing water levels in the glassware. This includes operation of the heating elements, pretreated water feed flow and functions within the still's cleaning cycle.
Cyclon: An Integrated Water Purification System
The Cyclon is available in 4 or 8 l.hr1 single distilled or 4 l.hr"1 double distilled formats and as a complete water purification system with matching pre-deioniser and distillate reservoir. To eliminate the need for routine cleaning in hard water areas, the stills are also able to be adapted to accept pretreated water.
All systems can be bench or wall mounted while tap feed models can easily be upgraded to use pretreated water.
Purity
The patented 'cyclonic' vapour trap eliminates all carry over while advanced glassware design removes the risk of foaming and improves purity levels. The distillate leaves the condenser at the optimum temperature to guarantee product quality.

Safety in Operation
The thermistor protects the still against interruptions in the water supply by controlling heater operation. Additional protection is provided by a thermal cut-out fuse to prevent overheating.
Operator protection is assured through totally enclosed glassware and a built-in spillage tray.
Reliability and Ease of Use
Combined with the microprocessor, the thermistor sensor provides precise control of the still and simplifies operation and cleaning procedures.
A vertical boiler configuration minimises stress on the durable silica sheathed heating elements. Along with an auto-drain function this design also helps to reduce the build-up of scale.
The Cyclon is supplied with an electronic float switch which will shut off the still automatically when the storage reservoir is full enabling safe, unattended operation.
Economy
The flow of cooling water is automatically controlled to minimise water usage.
Cyclon Pretreated Feed Option
Feeding the still with pretreated water can eliminate the need for descaling of the still's boiler in hard tap water areas.
All Cyclon Stills are supplied with accessories which enable the user to adapt from tap feed to treated feed supply. In this configuration, for economy, the treated water for the boiler and the tap water for the condenser are separated.
The stills can be fed from the matching Cyclon deioniser which is specially designed to provide quality pretreated water. The deioniser is electronically controlled by the still's microprocessor to ensure optimum use is made of the deioniser's ion exchange capacity. A rapid regeneration service is offered using a pre-paid voucher system. (UK customers only)
Alternatively, the Cyclon can be used with pretreated water from the user's own source. Suitable quality water includes reverse osmosis, deionised or purified water from a central piped supply.
Cyclon Deioniser
The Cyclon deioniser features a simple to read conductivity meter which indicates resin exhaustion and a separate outlet tap allowing users to draw off deionised water at any time.
The deioniser will typically provide up to 700 litres of purified water on 200ppm tds water. On exhaustion the resin can either be regenerated or replaced by new resin. Replacement resin packs are offered to users should a local regeneration service be unavailable.

Cyclon Reservoir Tank
The 30 litre, matching Cyclon reservoir tank incorporates a fast flow tap and a sight tube showing the contents of the reservoir.
Distillate access ports are fitted on both sides allowing the reservoir to be sited either side of the still.
To ensure the highest purity levels are maintained, the reservoir features a polyethylene liner, vent filter and a cleaning access port. The electronic float switch shuts off the still on a full reservoir.
