Leaving peroxide solution in lines?
Hey all,
Finally got out in the woods yesterday to clean everything up for the year, I ran a hydrogen peroxide solution (35% peroxide at 16 oz into 35 gallons of water) up through the lines from the bottom using the diaphragm pump from my RO system. It worked great.
Question now: everything is plugged up and the solution is sitting in the lines and drops all the way to the top, should I just leave this in place until next season or drain the whole thing and blow it dry with a compressor or something? My understanding is the peroxide breaks down to H20 eventually.
Also, is this sufficient cleaning for small-ish (500' max) runs of 3/16 or should I be using the calcium hypochlorite method?
