than clean as the cleaning process will take several hours of labor, chemical cost and packaging
and shipping charges to and from the factory.
2. SRC MCC-1, Membrane Cleaning Compound "No. 1" is an alkaline cleaner designed to clean
biological fouling and slight oil fouling from the RO Membrane Element. Biological fouling is usually
the first cause of the RO Membrane Element fouling. The system is constantly exposed to seawater
and biological growth. If exposed to seawater and left to sit, the RO Membrane Element becomes
fouled even with no actual system use. This 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 the 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.
Caution: Never expose the RO Membrane Element to chemicals other than those supplied
by Horizon Reverse Osmosis. Use caution when operating the system in harbors that may
be polluted with chemicals, oil or fuel, as these chemicals may damage the RO Membrane
Element beyond repair.

1. Configure the System for a “Once-Through Depressurized Rinse” using the Product Relief Tube
Kit as illustrated in this chapter.
2. Close the Inlet Sea Cock Valve.
3. Clean the Sea Strainer Mesh Screen.
4. Clean the Plankton Filter Element.
5. Replace the prefiltration cartridges with new 25- and 5-micron Sea Recovery prefiltration elements.
6. Fill the Rinse/Clean Solution Container with non-chlorinated product water.
7. Start the system. The rinse water rinses the entire system and discharge to waste.
8. Just prior to depleting the rinse water from the Rinse/Clean Solution Container, stop the system
by pressing the “START/STOP” switch twice to stop the system and also to abort the freshwater
flush cycle.
9. Once again, fill the Rinse/Clean Solution Container with non-chlorinated product water.
10. Add to the product water in the Rinse/Clean Solution Container one container (plastic bottle 1.5
lbs.) of Horizon Reverse Osmosis Membrane Element Cleaning Compound SRC MCC 1, SRC
