6-7 HOW TO SANITIZE THE SYSTEM
A system sanitization is performed to eliminate bacteria growth in both the system and in the tank. It is
recommended to sanitize the system at least once a year.
T
HINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU SANITIZE THE SYSTEM AND THE TANK
All safety precautions must be followed when handling
Hydrogen Peroxide. Rubber gloves, safety goggles and
a lab coat must be worn to avoid any skin and body
contact.
During a system sanitization, the tank will also be sanitized.
You will need a minimum Tank Level display of at least 50% (A).
Locate the clear elbow fitting, the clear tubing and the syringe in the Sanitization Kit (B).
You will need 200 ml of 30% Hydrogen Peroxide solution and 200 ml of purified water. Millipore
does not sell Hydrogen Peroxide but it is readily available through most Scientific Supply Companies.
It is recommended to sanitize the system near the time the SmartPak would normally be replaced. The
SmartPak, the Final Filter and the Vent Filter will need to be replaced after the sanitization is
completed.
The system will not be able to deliver Product Water while the system is being sanitized.
The total time needed to sanitize the system is at least
4.5 hours.
