6. Alkaline cleaners are used for bio fouling Cleaning chemicals espe cially the alkaline are not good for the membrane Every time you clean the membrane it shortens its life Clean only when necessary and avoid cleaning as a diagnostic tool Chlorine will destroy a membrane in minutes It attacks the material that the membrane is made from Always use product water or water filtered slowly through a charcoal filter for flushing and chemical treatments Oil simply plugs up the matrix of the membrane and clogs it up We have brought back oil fouled membranes with Joy soap See MB 5 Cleaning with Detergent For storage we recommend using propylene glycol potable water system antifreeze if avail able It can safely be left in the system for one year and will keep things from freezing in cold conditions It is hard to find in warm climates and takes up a lot of room on a small boat so our 5 1 is best for tropical cruising 49 Given good care a membrane will eventually just start to slowly fade away The feed pres sure may rise and or the ppm go up Hardly ever will they just fail overnight 8 13 04 MB 5 MEMBRANE CLEANING WITH DETERGENT If the membrane has been fouled with oil it may be possible to save it by cleaning it with dish soap such as Joy Don t use anything that may contain bleach You will need quite a lot of chlorine free fresh water If using shore water run it through a charcoal filter at a rate of not more than 1 5 g
