CO2 Incubator Filling the Water Reservoir

 

How to Refill the Water Reservoir in NuAire CO₂ Incubators (Active Humidity Control)

This video demonstrates how to properly refill the water reservoir in NuAire CO₂ incubators with active humidity control. The reservoir must be filled during initial installation and whenever a maintenance reminder appears.

The tutorial covers:

  • Preparing three liters of single distilled water (no purer than one mega ohm)
  • Accessing the fill port by removing the valance
  • Using a funnel to add water through the red fill port cap
  • Replacing the cap with the O-ring in place
  • Restoring the valance and closing the incubator doors
  • Clearing the maintenance notification after refilling

By following these steps, laboratories ensure consistent humidity control, protect cultures, and maintain optimal incubator performance.
