output after the dwell time.

6. Place the waste hose back in the cleaning solution container.

them in the drain.

4.3.1.3 Post-Cleaning Rinse Procedure

1. Using the disinfect switch, turn the RO on and run cleaning solution to the drain

until the container is empty. This aids in emptying the container of cleaning

solution.

CAUTION:

DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY. As an alternative, the solution

may be poured in the drain.

2. Rinse and drain the cleaning solution tank and the hoses then let them air dry.

3. Disconnect the disinfect hose from the RO.

4. Ensure that the water supply to the RO unit is on. If it is partially closed, rotate

the operate/flush valve to the full flush position.

5. Place the inlet water valve switch in the on position. Let water flow to the drain

for one minute.

6. Rotate the operate/flush valve to the operate position.

7. Set the RO pump power switch in the ON position. Rinse for 20 minutes with the

Operate/Flush valve in the Operate position until the % rejection and TDS

monitors’ displays normalize (e.g. 'usual' % rejection and 'usual' TDS reading).

Refer to your operating log for 'usual' readings and compare to the pre-cleaning

values.

A. During this rinse period, rotate the Operate/Flush valve to the

Flush position briefly and then back to Operate three times to

build-up and release pump pressure. This aids in flushing the

cleaner from the system.

8. Test the product water for post-cleaning pH and compare it to the pre-cleaning pH

level. The values should be the same or very close to the pre-cleaning pH. If it is

not, continue rinsing in the Operate position until equalization of the value occurs.

9. When all of the parameters (% Rejection, TDS, pH) have normalized, operate the

RO for an additional 20 minutes in rinse mode.

10. Repeat the cleaning procedure with the other pH cleaner. GE Osmonics

recommends using a low pH cleaner first, followed by a high pH cleaner after

rinsing thoroughly.
