• Deionizing vessel for TDS control
• 1 HP (0.7 kW) centrifugal system pump
• Ozone generator for bacterial control
• High-pressure feed pump pre-filter
• Chiller
• 55 gallon Settling Weir
• Filter service beacon and D.I. service indicator

There are five main reasons why you should consider a closed loop system for your abrasive waterjet systems:

1. Reduces water consumption drastically
   usually only 2% to 10% of normal usage.
2. Drain can be eliminated
   System can be configured so no liquid or dissolved solids go to drain. All over-flow water can be filtered and reused
3. Eliminates the requirement for make-up water treatment
   The small amount of make-up water needed is treated before it goes to the high-pressure pump.
4. Temperature control
   System cools water returned to the high-pressure pump improving pump seal life.
5. Protects your high-pressure pump!
   When properly maintained, the OMAX closed loop system sends the pump manufacturer's desired water quality to the high-pressure pump. The results are reduced pump maintenance and machine tool downtime.

Why your facility could use a Closed Loop System

No drain in facility or cannot overflow the machine tool to the drain

Water and sewage costs are very expensive
In some areas, utilities charge between $.06 and $.08 per gallon.

Well water quality and septic system capacity are inadequate
Poor water quality with total dissolved solids (TDS) between 300 and 800 PPM must be treated before it goes to the high-pressure pump.

Note: A waterjet using 1 gpm (3.8 l/min) running 50 hours per week for 50 weeks per year will use 150,000 gallons (570,000 liters) of water.
