A method and apparatus for evaluating a condition of a water purification system () comprising a water purification apparatus () arranged to output purified water through an outlet () and through at least one sterilizing grade filter () of a line set () fluidly connected to the outlet (), the method comprises: monitoring a flow rate (S) correlated with the flow rate of the purified water flowing through the at least one sterilizing grade filter (70); monitoring a pressure (S) correlated with the pressure of the purified water flowing to the at least one sterilizing grade filter (); and evaluating (S) a condition of the water purification system based on a relationship between the monitored flow rate and the monitored pressure.

Method and an apparatus for evaluating a condition of a water purification system

Disclosed herein is a water purification apparatus capable of being cleaned at a point of care, and methods for cleaning the water purification apparatus at the point of care. The water purification apparatus and the methods provide an efficient use of a heater for heat disinfection the water purification apparatus, e.g. by recirculating heated fluid to further heat the fluid. Several different cleaning programs are provided that may be utilized for cleaning different parts of the water purification apparatus.

Water purification apparatus and methods for cleaning the water purification apparatus

A water purification apparatus () capable of being cleaned at a point of care, and methods for cleaning the water purification apparatus () at the point of care. The water purification apparatus () and the methods provide an efficient use of a heater () for heat disinfection the water purification apparatus (), e.g. by recirculating heated fluid to further heat the fluid. Several different cleaning programs are provided that may be utilized for cleaning different parts of the water purification apparatus ().

The present disclosure relates to a water purification apparatus that comprises a reverse osmosis device, RO-device, producing a purified water flow and to a corresponding method. The proposed method comprises detecting at least one fluid property of purified water in the purified water path and regulating a flow rate of water in the recirculation path to fulfill one or more predetermined criteria of the purified water in the purified water path, based on the at least one detected fluid property. The present disclosure also relates to a computer program and a computer program product implementing the method.
