Spectra Cleaning Compound (SC-2 or SC-3) must be mixed with fresh water at a ratio of 1 con-
tainer of compound to 3 gallons (12L) of unchlorinated water to have the proper solution. An aver-
age of 4 gallons (16L) is already present inside a system. This water has to be figured into the mix-
ture. You will need to use two cans of cleaner. SC-2 and SC-3 are never mixed together. Do not use
them for storage pickling solution.
Warning! The pressure relief valve on the Clark pump must be open for this procedure
or membrane damage may result. Maximum pressure 50 psi.
Note: Procedures are the same for the SC-2 and SC-3 cleaners
