Deaeration:
- Water heated to physiologic temperatures is subjected to negative pressure to remove any air
- Air in the water can interfere with dialysate flow and cause "air trapping"
- Negative pressure is maintained by a closed loop composed of a pump, constricting valve, air trap and vent
- Heating treated water to 85ºC followed by cooling prior to proportioning can also de-gas purified water
