When I press run nothing happens.
If you press and hold the run button rather than press and release, it will go into the timer-setting mode. To reset the timer to the appropriate evaporation time, use the up and down arrows on the buttons. Once the timer is set, press the "CAL" button and the display will return to "idle".

Does Wilks sell used equipment?
No, we do not sell used equipment. Our analyzers are generally in use for more than 7 years and it would be more costly to refurbish an old analyzer than to build a new one.
