  • Page 36: Sanitization Procedure

    The sanitization frequency required is dependent on the feedwater, local environment, usage patterns and application. As a general rule, ELGA LabWater recommends sanitization of the RO at 6 monthly intervals. However, the period between sanitizations could be extended in particular circumstances. For example, microbial growth will usually be lower with clean feed water, well-maintained pre- treatment, low temperatures and heavy usage.
