Tecnicomar Watermaker Membrane Cleaner

Tecnicomar Watermaker Membrane Cleaner Solution A & B provides alkaline and acid cleaning products for reverse-osmosis membrane maintenance. Tecnicomar identifies membrane washing and preservation as an important maintenance step for extending the service life of watermaker filtration components.

Why two membrane cleaners are used

Alkaline and acid membrane cleaners address different types of fouling. The supplied Yacht-Mate product information identifies Solution A & B as an alkaline detergent and acid cleaner set. The correct cleaning sequence, concentration, temperature and circulation time must follow the instructions for the specific Tecnicomar watermaker and membrane.

Before cleaning a watermaker membrane

Reduced water production or poor product-water quality can have several causes, including prefilter restriction, feed-water conditions, operating pressure and membrane condition. Diagnose the system before chemical cleaning and do not mix cleaning chemicals unless the manufacturer specifically instructs it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tecnicomar Watermaker Membrane Cleaner Solution A & B supplied as both alkaline and acid cleaner?

Yes. The existing Yacht-Mate product information identifies the set as Solution A & B with an alkaline detergent cleaner and an acid cleaner.

Can I use Tecnicomar Watermaker Membrane Cleaner A & B on any reverse-osmosis membrane?

Do not assume universal compatibility. Confirm the membrane type and the cleaning procedure specified for your exact Tecnicomar watermaker before use.

Should I mix Tecnicomar Solution A and Solution B together when cleaning membranes?

Do not mix the two products unless Tecnicomar’s procedure for your exact system explicitly instructs it. Alkaline and acid cleaners are normally used for different fouling conditions and require the correct sequence and rinse procedure.

When should I chemically clean a Tecnicomar watermaker membrane?

Chemical cleaning should follow diagnosis of the watermaker and the maintenance guidance for the exact model. Falling production or water quality can have causes other than membrane fouling, so prefilters, feed conditions and operating parameters should also be checked.

What concentration should I use for Tecnicomar Watermaker Membrane Cleaner A & B?

Use only the concentration and procedure supplied for your Tecnicomar system and membrane. A reliable current manufacturer dosing instruction for this exact cleaner was not available in the source material, so Yacht-Mate does not publish an assumed mixing ratio.
