DISINFECTION AmeriWater recommends that all HCRO systems should be disinfected monthly. Additionally, the system should be disinfected if it has not been: flushed at least every 8 hours; or “preserved”. The following sections will outline the disinfection steps. Refer to Section 5.4 for AAMI standards for disinfection. - Page 29 DISINFECTION HCRO3/HCRO4 Agitate the container in a circular motion for approximately 10 seconds. Connect the PAA tubing male fitting into the quick disconnect fitting that is mounted on the front of the cabinet of the RO (Figure 6). Press and hold the LEFT ARROW key and then, press the RIGHT ARROW key. This will access the DISINFECT MODE.

CLEAN IN PLACE (CIP) HCRO3/HCRO4 WARNING: Verify that there is no chlorine (bleach) in the water bucket or floor mop. Chlorine (bleach) will cause a severe chemical reaction when it comes in contact with PAA concentrate! Rinse rubber gloves with tap water to remove any residues due to handling. Return rubber gloves, apron, and goggles to their storage area. - Page 33 CLEAN IN PLACE (CIP) HCRO3/HCRO4 Turn on the RO and CIP Pump and run to drain until the CIP Cleaning Drum is emptied.
