Cleaning and Disinfection
Your
Patriot Pro
is probably the hardest working appliance in your home, processing millions of gallons of
water
over its service life and in turn protecting you from countless amounts of inorganic calcium,
magnesium, lead, copper, zinc, iron, manganese, and other contaminants that could be in your water.
In addition to capturing inorganic contaminants, your softener also accumulates sediment bacteria, algae, mold, and
fungus that can enter the system through safe city water, salt, or even from the air. These additional contaminants
slowly accumulate in your softener and can even colonize it with a biofilm of Heterotrophic Plate Count bacteria
(HPC). These bacteria are usually benign, but they can create a food base as safe refuge for potentially harmful
pathogens and seriously compromise the longevity and performance of your system.
Your system should be periodically cleaned and disinfected according to established protocol to ensure that it is
working to the best of its ability and to protect the safety of your family.
