LOW pH CLEANING
AmeriClean A
is used second for the removal of inorganic scale and metals.
1.
Add 10 gallons (~2 inches
below the top hose connection)
of clean water to the CIP drum
(FIGURE 3). RO+ product
water or deionized water is
recommended if available.
Water with a minimum
temperature at or near 86° F
will provide maximum
effectiveness for the high pH
cleaner.
2.
Slowly add 1 lb (1 full bag) of
AmeriClean A
to the water in the cleaning
drum.
3.
Agitate the solution until the cleaner is completely dissolved.
It is important
to make sure all of the powder is dissolved before continuing.
WARNING: Wear appropriate eye and skin protection when handling the
membrane cleaning chemicals. The cleaners are high and low
pH chemicals and may cause severe chemical burns. Read the
MSDS for further information.
4.
Connect the CIP pump power cord to a 120 VAC receptacle (GFI
recommended).
5.
Place the Flush Valve in “FLUSH” then turn on the RO+ and verify that the
cleaning solution is recirculating and flowing from the drain hose inside the
CIP drum.
6.
Allow the cleaning solution to recirculate for a minimum of 50 minutes.
a. Depending on the nature of the fouling, a soak period may be necessary.
If the membranes are not heavily fouled, proceed to step 7.
b. In cases of heavy fouling, turn off the RO and CIP pump and allow the
system to soak for a minimum of 30 minutes.*
* Contact AmeriWater Technical Support or your local AmeriWater dealer for custom cleaning procedures if
necessary.
c. After the soak time, turn on the CIP pump and RO, and allow the cleaning
solution to recirculate again for 30 minutes.
