Waterite carries a complete line of membrane cleaning agents, as well as a Clean-in-Place (CIP) 

system designed for easy cleaning of the membrane elements, without removing them from the 

housings. Contact your local representative or call Waterite for pricing and availability. Your RB8 

system is already pre-plumbed for a CIP connection. (Figure 3b on page 14) 

 

pH and permeate water 

The permeate water from a RO system generally has a lower pH than the feed water. This is caused 

by the processes removal of particles within the elements. It is strongly recommended that a pH 

balancing system be put in place to bring the pH back up to a neutral setting between 7.0 and 7.5.  

Consult with your water specialist or call 

Waterite

 for pH adjustment options and equipment.
