Procedimiento de higienización
1. HYGIENISATION
Material required:
- Manual valve.
- Dosing cup and connectors.
- Hydrogen peroxide 3% (0.5 l).
- Brush.
- Single use vinyl gloves.
- Soap or detergent for easy rinsing.
- Food lubricant.
- Hydrogen peroxide detection strips.
- Sanitizing spray.
- Paper napkin.
Carry out a sanitization of the equipment during start-
up, when appropriate (whenever there is a risk of con-
tamination of the equipment by manipulation of com-
ponents in contact with water) or with the periodicity
indicated. To do this, follow the steps below:
ATTENTION: The water used during sanitization
must be drinking water (from a public distribution
network complying with the corresponding drin-
king water requirements of RD 140 / 2003, European
Directive 98 / 83 or local legislation in force).
- Open the tap and allow water to recirculate in order to
renew the water inside the equipment.
- Close the inlet valve (1) and open the dispenser tap (2)
to reduce the pressure in the equipment.

- Change the filters and wash them as indicated in the
corresponding section of the Technical Manual of the
equipment. Sanitization must be carried out with the
new pre-filters and after-filters installed and rinsed
previously in an appropriate way (correctly removed
carbon dust from them).
- Use vinyl gloves of only one (3) use to handle sanitizing
products.
ATTENTION: Use extreme caution when handling
filters, membrane and equipment components in
contact with water. Wear disposable gloves or wash
hands as often as necessary to avoid risks of equipment
contamination.
- In order to sanitize the equipment, the filters must be
placed inside their housings (4).
- If you replace a deteriorated membrane or filter at the
end of its useful life, remove the deteriorated membra-
ne for disposal and clean the inside of the housing and
connections with a brush (which must be kept clean
and disinfected) together with soap or detergent that
is easy to rinse (generates little foam) and suitable for
cleaning surfaces in contact with food (5). Afterwards,
rinse the housings and connectors properly, ensuring
that all traces of detergent are removed.
2. PRE-FILTERATION, MEMBRANE AND
POST FILTRATION TREATMENT
- Disconnect the inlet pipe to the unit marked “feed-
in”, and insert the dosing cup between the stopcock
and the water inlet of the unit (6). For greater con-
venience and ease of access during sanitization and
during opening and closing of the input valve, you can
insert, together with the sanitizing dosing cup, a ma-
nual valve in the closed position, which will perform the
same functions as the manual shut-off valve at the inlet
to the equipment.
