Cascade Quad Lab Water Purification- Type II Water









- Description
- Specifications
CASCADE TYPE II WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM:
The Cascade Type II Water Purification System is an economical deionization system. This system can produce up to two liters per minute of ASTM Type II, pure water. The resistivity level can reach 15 meg-ohm.
Through market research, we know that users want their water systems to be easy to install, use, and maintain. You’ll notice that all of our water systems fit this desire. The Cascade is extremely simple to use - with the twist of a valve, the user controls the water output. The system attaches to the wall, requires no electricity, and can be connected to a tap or pretreat water source.
Easy to install and easy to use. No electricity needed. Interchangeable cartridges keep maintenance easy.
See Dual System
- Economical deionization system
- 2L/ min of ASTM type II water
- Resistivity up to 15 meg Ω/cm
- Connect to tap or pretreated water source
- Requires no electricity
- Simple to use a control valve
- Easy to read pressure gage
- Purchasing options
- Quad System (D00294)
- Four cartridge kit options
- Quad System (D00294)

The system is available in a dual or quad set up. The cartridges are quick and simple to install or replace. The color-changing resin will give users a visual when it’s time to replace them to continue to ensure they have consistently pure water. Our Technical Service team can assist you and your customer in choosing the best cartridge kit to meet their laboratory needs based on feed water, usage, and applications being performed.
Versatility meets performance in the LabStrong Cascade. Type two water has never been so simple, accessible, and cost effective.
When the resident changes color you'll know the cartridges need replacing. Tap water goes in and type two water comes out. Cascade small footprints say space comes with an easy to read pressure gauge. Upgrade to the quad system for even greater Type two water capacity. It's a perfect type two system for your laboratory needs. When you need pure water, choose pure performance, the LabStrong Cascade; strength through innovation.
The Cascade can be used for a variety of basic lab applications that need type II water. These applications can include:
- Preparing buffers
- Media Preparation
- pH Solutions
- Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
- Ion Chromatography
- General Chemistry
- Pretreatment
- Washing and rinsing glassware
- Feed to autoclaves, water baths, and dishwashers
Many industries can use type II water since it's needed for such basic lab functions. A few of them would be – but again, not limited to, colleges and universities, water treatment facilities, and research labs.
Pricing on the Cascade is very economical. The price of the dual and Quad system is extremely competitive in the marketplace.
Quad Style Water Purification System: Configuration Comparison
| Option | Key Features | Summary of Difference |
| Quad Style Organic | Feed water: tap water (not pre-treated) + “organic” cartridge kit | Uses cartridges optimized for removing organics from regular tap water; no pretreatment feed required. |
| Quad Style Standard | Feed water: tap water (not pre-treated) + “standard” cartridge kit | Similar tap-water feed, but uses the standard (less specialized) cartridge kit instead of the organic variant. |
| Quad Style Organic Pretreat | Feed water: pretreated water + “organic” cartridge kit | For when the feed is already pretreated (less burden on the system) but the cartridges are still the organic variant. |
| Quad Style Standard Pretreat | Feed water: pretreated water + “standard” cartridge kit | Same feed (pretreated) as above, but uses the standard cartridge kit. |

All six LabStrong systems in our store side by side, so you can check you are on the right one before you order. Specs are from LabStrong product literature.
| System | Water grade and purity | Feed, installation and consumables |
| Rapids | ASTM Type I (ultrapure) Deionization Up to 2 L/min Up to 18.2 MΩ·cm, TOC 5 ppb or less | Tap, DI, RO or distilled Wall mount, 120 V 6 cartridge kits matched to feed water |
| Cascade Dual | ASTM Type II Deionization Up to 2 L/min Up to 15 MΩ·cm | Tap or pretreated Wall mount, no electricity 3 dual cartridge kits, color-change resin |
| Cascade Quad (this page) | ASTM Type II Deionization Up to 2 L/min Up to 15 MΩ·cm | Tap or pretreated Wall mount, no electricity 4 quad cartridge kits, color-change resin |
| Fi-Streem 2S | ASTM Type II Glass distillation 1.4, 2 or 4 L/hr Removes ions, organics, bacteria, pyrogens | Tap or pretreated Bench or wall (bracket included) No cartridges |
| Fi-Streem III | ASTM Type II Glass distillation 4 L/hr Removes ions, organics, bacteria, pyrogens | Tap or pretreated Bench or wall (bracket included) No cartridges |
| Fi-Streem III XL | ASTM Type II Glass distillation 8 L/hr or 4 L/hr bi-distilled Removes ions, organics, bacteria, pyrogens | Tap or pretreated Bench or wall (bracket included) No cartridges |
Which one fits your lab?
- Trace analysis (IC, ICP, ICP-MS, AA, mass spec): you need Type I water at the instrument. That is the Rapids.
- Buffers, media, glassware rinsing, feed to autoclaves and washers: Type II is enough. The Cascade is the lowest-cost option and needs no power at the wall.
- Bacteria and pyrogen removal with no cartridges to replace: a Fi-Streem still.
- Both grades: a Cascade or Fi-Streem can feed a Rapids. LabStrong makes Rapids cartridge kits for RO/distilled feed (D003310KT and D003311KT) for that setup.
Not sure? Send us your feed water source, the volume you use per day and the instruments you run, and we will match the system and cartridge kit.
