New Component Improves

Operating Performance

Of Omnipure MSD

Continuing development of the

Omnipure Marine Sanitation De- vice (MSD) has resulted in a new configuration of the Omnipure Elec- trocatalytic Cell, or Book Cell. As described in a product information sheet, this new component will sig- nificantly improve the operating performance of the Omnipure MSD, while simultaneously increasing the operating life of the cell through easier maintenance and repair.

All Omnipure MSDs are currently manufactured by EES Corporation and being fitted with the Book Cell.

The cylindrical model of this com- ponent is now obsolete and is no longer available. The Retrofit Kits are complete, self-contained pack- ages that will facilitate the installa- tion of the Book Cells to existing

MSDs currently having the old style, or cylindrical cell.
