6. Position the Rinse/Clean Outlet Valve [35]
to the Brine Discharge (normal operation)
position.
7. Open the Back Pressure Regulating Valve [33]
full open counter clockwise.
8. Start the system. The rinse water is now
rinsing the entire system and discharging
to waste.
9. Apply 200 psi of pressure to the System.
This produces a minimal amount of product
water, which ensures the product water line
remains wet.
10. Just prior to depleting the rinse water from the
tank, stop the system.
11. Open the Back Pressure Regulating Valve [33]
full open.
12. Add 10 - 20 gal. (8 - 15 liters) of product water
to the Rinse/Clean Tank.
13. Fill a separate plastic bucket or container
with 1 to 2 gallons of product water. Add the
HRO SC Storage Chemical to the water in the
bucket as follows:
Mix and thoroughly dissolve the solution in
the container. Pour the dissolved solution
contents into the Rinse/Clean Tank [50].
NOTE
: The correct mixture ratio for the
Storage Chemical (SC) is one bottle per
20 gallons of product water. The chemical
is mixed first in a small bucket and then
added to the water in the tank. This
makes the chemical easier to dissolve into
the water.
Mixture example 1: If the Rinse/Clean
Tank [50] contains 10 gallons of product
water then add 1/2 bottle of the SC
Storage Chemical.
Mixture example 2: If the Rinse/Clean
Tank [50] contains 20 gallons of product
water then add a full bottle of the SC
Storage Chemical.
NOTE: Winterizing and freezing
temperature storage
- If the system
is exposed to freezing temperatures,
add 2 - 4 gal. (8 to 15 liters) of food
grade glycerin (propylene glycol) is
also added to the final storage chemical
mixture to prevent the water in the
system from freezing.
14. Position the Rinse/Clean Outlet Valve [35] to
the Clean/Rinse Tank [50] return for a Closed
Loop re-circulation.
15. Operate the system by pressing the
System Start Switch. The Storage Chemical
Solution is now flows from the Clean/
Rinse Tank, through the System and back
into the Clean/Rinse Tank in a Closed Loop
configuration. Do not pressurize the system
above 50 psi maximum.
16. After approximately 20 minutes of
re-circulation, stop the system.
17. In order to empty the Clean/Rinse Tank,
position the Rinse/Clean Outlet Valve [35]
to the Brine Discharge, normal operating
position.
18. Operate the system, which discharges
the Storage Chemical Mixture through the
Brine Discharge Thru Hull Fitting.
19. Stop the system just before depleting the
Storage Chemical Solution from the tank.
20. Position the Rinse/Clean Inlet Valve [4] to the
normal operating position.
The system may now be left unattended
for up to 3 to 6 months. With ideal
conditions including a relatively new
R.O. Membrane Element, a clean system
prior to storage, cool temperatures, and
no leakage of storage chemical within the
system, it provides protection for up to
6 months. Adverse conditions provide
only a month or less of safe storage.
Evaluate these factors before determining
the proper interval between repeated
rinsing and storage periods.
8.4 R.O. MEMBRANE ELEMENT CLEANING
PROCEDURE
Do not arbitrarily clean a New System. Low product
water production and or High Salinity Product
Water readings from a New System is likely due
to factors other than fouling. If a New System
experiences low production or high salinity then
the New System should be operated for up to
12 or more hours continuously to clear the R.O.
