Pretreatment Pack includes a chlorine sanitisation tablet inside. When this type of Progard TL Pack is
installed in an Elix System, the chlorine sanitisation tablet will dissolve. This will sanitise the RO Cartridge located downstream
of the Progard TL Pack. The dissolved chlorine will leave the Elix System via the drain and will never enter the Product Water
Reservoir.

The RiOs/Elix-L Cleaning Port Kit is used to introduce the Chemical Sanitant (as a dry tablet) into the Elix System. The Cleaning
Port, when installed, has a removable cap. This cap can be unscrewed and a Chemical Sanitant (Chlorine Tablet) can be
placed inside. It is not possible to make a Chemical Sanitant in the liquid form and pour it into the RO Cartridge.
The Cleaning Port Kit is not supplied with the standard Elix System. It is
necessary to order a Cleaning Port Kit as a separate item. See Section 6-2.
It is recommended to have a Millipore SAS Field Service Representative install the Cleaning Port Kit. The installation of the
Cleaning Port Kit involves removing the cover of the Elix System. The instructions for installing the Cleaning Port Kit are not
included in this manual. The instructions are included with the Kit.

BE MANUALLY SANITISED
?
Normally the Manual Sanitisation is not necessary if the Automatic Sanitisation is performed with the Progard TL autoClean
Pack. However, the end user of the Elix System may develop a protocol whereby the Elix System is sanitised on a periodic basis
(i.e. every 12 weeks). In this case, the instructions below would be followed for performing a manual sanitisation.
