    < I moved this into it's own thread>

    GFIC is the wrong term - GFCI is the correct term. It stands for "Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

    DI water is Dionized Water. It's close to distilled water, but not quite.

    Could you take another run at stating your question using more sentences, more periods and overall better punctuation. I can't see you real question considering how it is written.

    This is an extremely critical issue, dealing with any medical equipment, facility, process, or procedure. The Life Safety of innocent people is in jeopardy.

    Without attempting to sound condescending or presumptuous, I need to insist that you, as a medical manufacturing company, not use a free on line answer site for obtaining information for such a critical installation regarding life safety.

    Hire a qualified engineer that has a PE stamp and the related disciplines at disposal that is knowledgeable in the geographical area your product will be located, and along with the specifications of your product, submit a written request for the information needed.
