Installation Lubricants

• For cartridge installation, use only water or glycerin to lubricate seals.
• Do not use petroleum or vegetable-based oils or solvents, as they may damage the cartridge and void the warranty.

Chemical Handling (Cleaning and Sanitization)

• Exposure to Chemical Oxidants: May be necessary and useful for thorough cleaning and sanitization.
• Common Oxidants in Food Applications: Peracetic acid blends, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hypochlorite. Consult KMS for recommended addition rates, frequency of use, and tolerance.
• Chlorine Elimination: Potassium metabisulfite (without catalyst such as cobalt) is the preferred chemical to eliminate residual chlorine or similar oxidizers prior to processing the feed stream.
