value of less than 3. As ScaleBreak-MP dissolves the
deposits within the equipment, it absorbs the calcium into a
liquid suspension, thus naturally neutralizing the solution.
Frequent pH readings at intervals of every 10-15 minutes
will allow you to map the solutions activity during a cleaning
procedure.
Example: When testing the pH with a consistent pH
reading below 3 and the solution abruptly rises, take
additional readings to make sure this is a consistent
pattern. If the pH has a consistent 5.5 reading or greater for
multiple readings, the solution has become neutralized and
it needs to add additional product to complete the cleaning.
If its circulated for the recommended time duration, the pH
did not go above 4 and its not visually seeing any additional
bubbling and foaming, the cleaning is complete. You can
now start flushing the piece of equipment with clean water.
A calcium carbonate spot test is performed by simply
having a sample of your ScaleBreak-MP solution come in
contact with a form of calcium carbonate. The calcium
carbonate utilized can be a sample of the deposit you are
cleaning, a calcium tablet or concrete. When you add the
calcium to your ScaleBreak-MP solution, if the product is
active, it will bubble and foam. If you add the calcium tablet
and visualize little reaction, your solution is neutralized. You
can perform this test with new ScaleBreak-MP so you
understand how fresh product will react vs depleted. If your
ScaleBreak-MP solution has lost its effectiveness, you will
need to add fresh ScaleBreak-MP to complete the
cleaning. If your ScaleBreak-MP remained active during
the recommended cleaning duration, you can perform a
clean water flush.
Note: Deposits comprised primarily of rust (Fe
2
O3) can
give false pH readings. The pH value will remain low,
yet the solution will be inactive. In situations where
rust prevalent, the following calcium spot test is
recommended.
Circulation Pump Setup
Circulation pump can be setup completely external to the
Modular Self Contained unit eliminating the need to remove
panels for access. The entire system can be cleaned with
this external setup.
