e) Disconnect the freshwater line from the potable water storage tank to the freshwater flush pump
or, if a valve is installed in this line, close it to isolate the potable water line from the freshwater
flush pump.
f) Remove the freshwater flush charcoal filter bowl; drain and clean the inside of the bowl. Replace
the freshwater flush charcoal filter element with a new Horizon Reverse Osmosis freshwater
flush charcoal filter element, and replace the bowl with new element back onto the housing.
The system may now be left unattended for up to 3 to 6 months. With ideal conditions, including a
relatively new RO 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 may provide less protection. Evaluate these factors before determining the proper interval
between repeated rinsing and storage periods.
RO Membrane Element Cleaning Procedures
Important: Do not arbitrarily clean the RO Membrane in a new system. If a new system
experiences low production or high salinity, then the system should be operated for up to 48
hours continuously to clear and saturate the RO Membrane Element product water channel.
If a new system still experiences low production and or high salinity after 48 hours of continual
operation, then contact the factory.
Important: The membrane element requires cleaning from time to time. Biological growth
and salt accumulation eventually make replacement necessary. The frequency of required
cleaning depends on the amount of production loss and salt-rejection loss resulting from
normal use and exposure to feed water. In order to properly assess performance changes, it
is important to maintain daily log readings for comparison.
Important: During performance comparisons, feed water temp, feed water salinity and system
operating pressure must be taken into consideration and compensated for. After
compensations, a 10% decline in productivity (GPH Flow) and/or a 10% increase in salt
passage indicate that the RO Membrane Element may require cleaning.
Important: If the production rate has dropped dramatically since the last time the system
was used, this may be due to drying out of the RO Membrane Element and/or fouling during
storage. If the system has not been used for several months and the production rate has
dropped dramatically since the last time used, try operating the system for 48 or more
continuous hours to saturate the product water channel within the RO Membrane Element.
Important: A dramatic increase in product water production from one day to the next may
be the result of a mechanical failure such as a broken O-ring or damaged RO Membrane
Element.
RO Membrane Element Cleaning Water and Chemical Requirements
1. The Horizon Reverse Osmosis cleaning compounds are designed to clean in a closed loop
configuration moderate fouling from the RO Membrane Element. If the RO Membrane Element is
excessively fouled and in-field cleaning is not successful, the RO Membrane Element may be
returned to Horizon Reverse Osmosis or to one of Horizon Reverse Osmosis’s many service dealers
for professional chemical cleaning. If your membrane requires professional cleaning, please contact
Horizon Reverse Osmosis for a return authorization number, price quotation and return instructions.
Note: Very heavily fouled RO Membrane Elements may be more cost-effective to replace rather
