F-801 Internal RO System by GE Osmonics

4.3.1Pre-Cleaning Preparation

There are two types of cleaners available, a low pH cleaner (Calcium/Iron removal) and a high pH cleaner (Silt/Organics removal). GE Osmonics provides these cleaners in liquid form. The low pH cleaner attacks mineral scale deposits such as calcium, magnesium and iron build-up, and should be used first. The high pH cleaner will remove accumulated silt and organic matter from the RO membrane.

CAUTION:

The different cleaners must not be mixed together. Introduce the low pH cleaner first, thoroughly rinse the system, and then use the high pH cleaner.

WARNING:

The solution is a mild irritant to eyes and skin. It is recommended that protective gloves and eye protection be worn when handling the cleaner. Neither respiratory protection nor special ventilation are required.
