Severe Cleaning Procedure
In the unlikely event that the recirculator becomes contaminated, a severe cleaning
procedure may be used. This involves disconnecting the recirculator from the
chamber(s) and flushing the system with bleach. (Note: If repeated occurrences of
severe contamination happen, then it is recommended to add the UV light LGHT601
option to the recirculator).
1.
Turn the humidity switch ‘off’ on the chamber(s)
2. Turn the CRSY102 off and unplug the electrical power cord
3. Disconnect the CRSY102 from the chamber water inlet (black
¼” tubing)
4. Using the drain valve located below the large reservoir, drain the large
reservoir
5. Remove both filter housing canisters, empty and wipe out with towel
6. Reinstall both canisters without the filters
7. Empty the water out of the small reservoir and wipe out with towel
8. Refill the large reservoir with new water adding bleach (typically 5-6% sodium
hypochlorite solution) with a ratio of 50:1
9. Place the CRSY102 outlet tube that was disconnected from the chamber (in
step 3) into the large reservoir
10. Plug the CRSY102 back into power and turn on
11. Allow the CRSY102 to run for 15 minutes
12. Drain the CRSY102 and empty both canisters
13. Empty the water out of the small reservoir
14. Refill the large reservoir with new water and run for 1 hour
15. Repeat steps 11 & 12
16. Drain large reservoir and both canisters
17. Reinstall canisters with new filters (FLTR101)
18. Refill large reservoir and reconnect tubing to the chamber water inlet
19. If algae is present inside chamber, wipe down walls with bleach solution and
flush with new water thoroughly before powering up the CRSY102 and turning
the humidity switch back on the chamber
Bleach is harmful and hazardous to human health.
Do not inhale fumes, ingest, swallow, or touch.
Follow all instructions on container & wear gloves.
