Factory with Ultrapure Water System equipment

Ultrapure Water Systems

For decades, optical laboratories have depended on water that’s not just clean — but ultra-clean. At American Aqua, we build advanced Optical UltraPure Water Systems that deliver the highest quality water your optics processes demand. Our custom-engineered solutions combine multiple purification technologies to produce water far purer than standard lab grade — ideal for precision cleaning, lens processing, ultrasonic washers, and other sensitive optical applications.

  • Scalable & Future-Ready
    Our systems grow with your needs. Modular design lets you increase capacity or add advanced features as your lab expands.
  • Built & Supported in Michigan
    Designed and assembled at our Michigan facility, each unit ships with technician support for installation and operator training.

Our UltraPure Water Solutions

Our flagship PCZ water treatment systems deliver integrated reverse osmosis (RO) and deionization (DI) purification — a combination that produces water up to 18.5 MΩ-cm resistance for true ultra-high purity.

Available Configurations:

  • PCZ L1300 – providing up to 300 gallons per day
  • PCZ 380 – providing up to 380 gallons per day
  • PCZ 760 – providing up to 760 gallons per day
  • PCZ 1440 – providing up to 1,440 gallons per day
  • PCZ 2880 – providing up to 2,880 gallons per day
  • PCZ Pure-pH Neutralizer – neutralizes effluent, making waste compliant

Across the PCZ lineup, you’ll find:

  • Multi-stage purification (pre-filtration → RO → DI → UV/softening).
  • High resistivity output for contamination-free optical processes.
  • Economical resin use thanks to our proprietary PCZ process.
  • OptiBalance Neutralization Solution: Exclusively developed by American Aqua, OptiBalance is precisely formulated to work seamlessly with the Pure-pH system, delivering consistent, reliable pH correction while maximizing efficiency and minimizing chemical usage.

Pure-pH Alkaline Neutralization

Handling ultrasonic lens washer effluent shouldn’t be a guessing game. Our automated Pure-pH Neutralization System monitors effluent pH and doses neutralizer only as needed, making compliance simpler and cost-effective.

Key Advantages:

  • Automated effluent pH control
  • Long-life pH sensor with digital readout
  • Efficient neutralizer usage
  • Compact footprint and reliable drainage

Optical Labs That Rely on UltraPure

Optical facilities across the U.S. trust our systems to:

  • Produce ultrapure water for lens cleaning and inspection
  • Supply water for ultrasonic washers and precision cleaning baths
  • Support etching, coating, and finishing processes
  • Maintain consistent quality that protects sensitive optical surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our systems use multiple purification stages — including reverse osmosis and deionization — to go well beyond standard lab water quality, delivering water ~1,000× cleaner than surgical-grade water.

  • We pair high-efficiency purification with proper monitoring and neutralization solutions, reducing contaminants and tailoring output to your purity targets.

  • Yes — modular design and scalable configurations let your water system expand as your operations evolve.
