4-5 HOW TO SANITISE THE RO CARTRIDGE(S)
WHAT IS NEEDED TO SANITISE THE RO CARTRIDGE(S)
It is possible to sanitise the RO Cartridges either:
automatically when you replace the Progard TL1 or TL2, System Cl

autoClean Pretreatment Pack
manually by introducing a chemical sanitant (chlorine tablet) into the Elix System
The information provided below explains what is needed for either method.
AUTOMATIC WAY OF SANITISATION
PROGARD TL SYSTEM CL

PRETREATMENT PACK WITH INTEGRATED CHLORINE TABLET
The Progard TL System Cl
2
Pretreatment Pack includes a chlorine sanitisation tablet inside. When this type of Progard TL Pack is
installed in an Elix System, the chlorine sanitisation tablet will dissolve. This will sanitise the RO Cartridge located downstream
of the Progard TL Pack. The dissolved chlorine will leave the Elix System via the drain and will never enter the Product Water
Reservoir.
HOW TO AUTOMATICALLY SANITISE THE RO CARTRIDGE(S)
The method used to automatically sanitise an RO Cartridge(s) is very easy. Follow the steps below.
1. A Progard TL1 or TL2 System Cl
2
autoClean Pretreatment Pack is needed. See Section 6-1 for Catalogue Numbers and
Ordering Information.
2. Install the pack using the procedure shown in Section 4-2 “How To Replace the Progard TL Pack”. The RO Cartridge(s) will
automatically be sanitised.
MANUAL WAY OF SANITISATION
CLEANING PORT KIT
The RiOs/Elix-L Cleaning Port Kit is used to introduce the Chemical Sanitant (as a dry tablet) into the Elix System. The Cleaning
Port, when installed, has a removable cap. This cap can be unscrewed and a Chemical Sanitant (Chlorine Tablet) can be
placed inside. It is not possible to make a Chemical Sanitant in the liquid form and pour it into the RO Cartridge.
The Cleaning Port Kit is not supplied with the standard Elix System. It is
necessary to order a Cleaning Port Kit as a separate item. See Section 6-2.
It is recommended to have a Millipore SAS Field Service Representative install the Cleaning Port Kit. The installation of the
Cleaning Port Kit involves removing the cover of the Elix System. The instructions for installing the Cleaning Port Kit are not
included in this manual. The instructions are included with the Kit.
CHLORINE SANITISATION TABLETS
It is necessary to use Chlorine Sanitisation Tablets as the RO Cartridge Sanitant.
The Millipore SAS Catalogue Number for a container of 45 Chlorine Tablets is ZWCL01F50.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD THE RO CARTRIDGE(S) BE MANUALLY SANITISED?
Normally the Manual Sanitisation is not necessary if the Automatic Sanitisation is performed with the Progard TL autoClean
Pack. However, the end user of the Elix System may develop a protocol whereby the Elix System is sanitised on a periodic basis
(i.e. every 12 weeks). In this case, the instructions below would be followed for performing a manual sanitisation.
