Cleaning & Chemical Exposure
- Cleaning (CIP) Temperature Range:
- For chlorine cleaning: 104 - 122°F (40 - 50°C)
- For cleaning not involving chlorine: 104 - 176°F (40 - 80°C)
- Recommended Chlorine Exposure Time: 30 minutes per day.
- Residual Chlorine Concentration (during CIP): 150 ppm @ pH 10.5 or higher.
- Maximum Chlorine Concentration: Never exceed 200 ppm.
- Chlorine Addition: Only to cleaning solution after pH has been adjusted to 10.5 or higher.
- Caution: Iron or other catalyzing metals in the presence of free chlorine or hydrogen peroxide will accelerate membrane degradation.
- Sanitizing: Should be done only after a complete cleaning cycle and with water of acceptable quality.
- Cationic Polymers and Surfactants: Exposure may cause irreversible fouling and voids warranty.
- Lubricants for Installation: Use only water or glycerin to lubricate seals. Petroleum or vegetable-based oils or solvents may damage the element and void the warranty.
