NOTE
When cleaning in preparation for storage (stand down from deployment), the acid
cleaning solution is first used to clean the RO. Following the RO acid cleaning, the
acid cleaning solution is then used to acid clean the MF.
2. Set valves for RO acid cleaning as follows:
a. Make sure the RO feed pump is off.
b. Be sure that Adaptor A-12 Valve V-705 on the 2 x 10 cleaning waste (suction) hoses is
closed (see Figure 5 or Figure 6) for valve location).
