• Overview of equipment options and configurations.

History and information about Flier’s. • Started water business around 1992.• Work primarily in commercial,

industrial, institutional settings.• Sell and service all types of ultra-pure

water equipment including multiple specialized laboratory manufacturers.

Design Process • Defining the pure water

requirements and specifications. • What purity level?

• What work is done in lab? • General rinsing/washing,

glassware washers, sterilizers, autoclaves?

• Are there “maximum” purity level requirements?

• How much water? • When it’s needed?• Where it’s needed?
