NOTE:
Failure to change the filter according to these requirements will void the
warranty.
4.3 Flushing
The machine should be flushed at least once daily to remove sediment from
membrane surfaces. The autoflush should be utilized to accomplish system
flushing.
.
NOTE:
The Autoflush (AUF) system automatically flushes the machine and
eliminates the need for frequent manual flushing.
4.4 Cleaning
Cleaning the machine is vital because contaminants can build up on the
membrane surfaces, reducing the permeate flow rate and affecting the quality of
the permeate. A precipitated layer left on the membrane may cause permanent
chemical damage and reduce sepralator life. Observation of a decrease in either
permeate flow rate or rejection of salts, or an increased pressure drop across the
machine will indicate when cleaning is required. Cleaning may be required as
often as once every week or as infrequently as every two months, depending
upon the local water supply conditions. We suggest cleaning at least every
month to assure good membrane sepralator performance and long sepralator
life.
Mar Cor Purification offers a full line of chemical cleaners for specific cleaning
needs.
4.4.1 Cleaning Procedure
1. With the RO machine running, open the CIP Permeate valve. After the
valve has been opened, close the permeate service valve and the CIP
tank drain valve. The CIP tank should begin to fill with RO permeate. If
any dirt or dust has collected in the tank while not in use, the drain valve
on the CIP tank should be opened to allow the particles to rinse to drain.
When the CIP tank is filled with RO permeate to the full line marked on the
CIP tank, place the ON/OFF switch on the RO machine in the OFF
position.
