Ground Water Application Cleaning Procedures
For ground water installations, clean the membrane following
the steps above with the exception of replacing Step 4 with
the following:
Pour the contents of the citric acid crystals into a container
with 250 mL of water. Mix thoroughly to dissolve the crystals.
For Vertical Systems, with the Internal Prefilter still removed,
pour the solution into the Prefilter cavity.
For Horizontally-mounted Systems, remove the ½” Brass Plug
of the Air Vent Assembly and pour the solution into the Casing
cavity through the ½” NPT port. Refer to FIGURE 8 for the
location of the ½” Brass Plug.
WARNING:
Be careful to avoid citric
acid crystals coming in contact with skin or clothing.
Wash the mixing container well before reuse.
The citric acid crystals SHOULD NOT be combined with
any other chemical or cleaning solution, especially
hypochlorite or household bleach. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury, illness, or death.
Replace the System Cap (Vertical Systems) or the ½” Brass
Plug (Horizontally-mounted Systems). Let stand for
60 minutes.

Cleaning the Stainless Steel Facade or

on the stainless steel surface as these cleaners may damage
the labels. Wipe surface dry with a soft cloth afterward.
