End Of Day Cleaning And Final Rinse Cycle; Equipment Storage (End Of Season) - H2O Innovation 200 Operation Manual

D. End of Day Cleaning and Final Rinse Cycle
The purpose of this process cycle is to clean the Concentrator prior to shutting down at
the end of the day.
Note: Save approximately 200 to 400 gallons of permeate for the end of the season
cleaning described below under section E. Equipment Storage (end of season).
E. Equipment Storage (end of season)
It is very important to thoroughly wash the equipment and membrane at the end of the
maple season before storing the equipment over the summer and fall. Additionally, the
manufacturer strongly recommends a deep wash for the membrane by sending it to H
Innovation. Alternatively, the following 11-step do-it-yourself cleaning process must be
done.
11-step do-it-yourself equipment and membrane cleaning process steps.
1. One rinse cycle - thoroughly rinse the system with permeate or distilled water
2. Follow with a wash cycle - use Bio-Membrane Cleaner (P/N CHE-BIOMEMB1G)
3. Do another rinse cycle
Safety note: Set the electrical breaker in the main power line to the off position in the
main power line to insure the system is not accidentally started during the next 8 steps.
4. Empty the membrane housing by removing the end caps.
5. Drain the pressure and recirculation pumps by relieving the drain valves
6. Empty all pipes and dispose of the 5 micron filter
7. Fill a membrane PVC sleeve (P/N SPH-UNI-00-16A Storage vessel 4") with 1 liter of
storage solution (P/N CHE-REMISACE-1G) mixed with 1 gallon of distilled water of
permeate
8. Remove membrane from concentrator and slowly insert into the PVC sleeve
9. Top off the sleeve with distilled water or permeate once the membrane is installed
10. The membrane will absorb some of the solution causing the liquid level to go down. After
3 or 4 minutes, complete filling with distilled water or permeate.
11. Install cap on the PVC sleeve and store in a cool (~7
The following 4 precautions specified by the manufacturer are necessary to safely store
the membrane over the off-season.
1. The membrane must never be exposed to freezing temperatures. This condition will void
the warranty.
2. The membrane must be kept in a cool place (~7
3. The membrane must be kept moist at all times. The manufacturer specifies that it should
be kept immersed in a PVC sleeve or tank.
4. The membrane must remain soaking in a storage solution (P/N CHE-REMISACE-1G) to
prevent bacteria from spreading.
