fouling is minimized with freshwater rinsing whenever the system is not in use.
3. SRC MCC-2, Membrane Cleaning Compound "No. 2" is an acid cleaner designed to clean calcium carbonate
and other mineral deposits from the RO Membrane Element. Mineral fouling is a slow process that takes place
during use of the system. Therefore, if the system has relatively few hours of use yet shows signs of RO
Membrane Element fouling, then that fouling is likely biological. If the system has several thousand hours of
use, then there may be some mineral fouling combined with biological fouling.
4. SRC MCC-3, Membrane Cleaning Compound "No. 3" is used for iron fouling. It is not included in the SRC
Membrane Cleaning Chemical Kit. If th
e system’s RO Membrane Element is fouled with rust from iron piping,
then SRC CC-3 may be used for effective removal of light or moderate rust fouling. Heavily rust-fouled RO
membranes may not be recoverable as rust not only fouls the membrane element but also damages the
membrane surface.
