Lavasol™ 1
Lavasol™ 1 is a low pH (acidic) liquid formulation, combining select chelants and solubilizing agents to remove metal hydroxides, carbonates, phosphates and other similar scales. Lavasol™ 1 provides broad spectrum scale removal, and is ideal for situations where limited information is available on foulant make-up. Combining Lavasol™ 1 with an alkaline cleaner such as Lavasol™ 2 for particulate and organic removal provides a comprehensive cleaning. If a more aggressive low pH cleaner is needed, try OptiClean™ H.
Benefits & Features
- Concentrated cleaner for most efficient shipping and handling
- Phosphate-free formula to reduce negative impact on the environment
- Buffered pH to maintain optimum cleaning performance throughout cleaning cycle
- Best results when used in a program that includes either Lavasol™ 2 or OptiClean™ B
Uses
- For use on reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF) and micro-filtration (MF) membranes
- Formulated to dissolve inorganic precipitants from the membrane surface
- To chelate and remove oxides of iron and aluminum from the membrane surface
Lavasol™ 1
Lavasol™ 2
Lavasol™ 2 is a high pH (alkaline) liquid cleaner formulated to remove silt, colloids, organics, particulate, biological, and other acid insoluble foulants. Combining specially chosen chelants, surfactants, solubilizing and dispersing agents, Lavasol™ 2 provides excellent broad spectrum foulant removal. Ideal for periodic maintenance cleans, well water, and other light loading applications. Combining Lavasol™ 2 with an acid cleaner such as Lavasol™ 1 for inorganic removal provides a comprehensive cleaning. If a more aggressive high pH cleaner is needed, try Lavasol™ 7 or OptiClean™ B.
Benefits & Features

- Effective in removing biological slime and bacterial byproduct
- Includes an organic chelant to remove oxides of iron and aluminum
- Extremely effective in removing oils and other organic compounds
Lavasol™ 3
Lavasol™ 5
Lavasol™ 5 is a low pH (acidic), low foaming liquid cleaner devised to remove silica and other inorganic scales present on polyamide thin-film composite, cellulose acetate or ultrafiltration membranes. Silica is inherently difficult to remove, but Lavasol™ 5 was specifically formulated to target and remove tough silica scale, while helping remove other inorganic scales present. For systems where predominate inorganic scale is not silica, it is best to use a broad spectrum low pH cleaner (Lavasol™ 1 or OptiClean™ A) prior to Lavasol™ 5. For a comparable powder cleaner, try OptiClean™ S.
Benefits & Features
- Extremely effective silica specific cleaner
- Phosphate-free formula to reduce negative impact on the environment
- Can be mixed with other low-pH cleaners such as OptiClean™ A or Lavasol™ 1 for a multifunction cleaning
- Buffered pH to maintain optimum cleaning performance throughout cleaning cycle
- Proven to efficiently remove silica scale
Uses
- For use on reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF) and micro-filtration (MF) membranes
- For effective removal of silica fouling from polyamide membrane elements
- When simple alkaline cleaning does not produce a clean membrane surface Lavasol™ 5 should be applied
- Will also dissolve inorganic scales as Lavasol™ 5 is an acidic formulation
Lavasol™ 5
Lavasol™ 6
Lavasol™ 6 is a low pH (acidic) liquid formulation, combining select chelants and solubilizing agents to remove metal hydroxides, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and other similar scales. Lavasol™ 6 provides broad spectrum scale removal, and is ideal for situations where limited information is available on foulant make-up. Combining Lavasol™ 6 with an alkaline cleaner such as Lavasol™ 9 for organic removal provides a comprehensive cleaning. If a more aggressive low pH cleaner is needed, try OptiClean™ H.
Benefits & Features
- Readily dissolvable liquid cleaner provides efficient shipping and handling
- Buffered pH to maintain optimum cleaning performance throughout cleaning cycle
- Best results when used in conjunction with either Lavasol™ 9 or Lavasol™ 7.
Uses
- For use on reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF) and micro-filtration (MF) membranes
- Formulated to dissolve inorganic precipitants from the membrane surface
- To aid in the removal of carbonates, phosphates, metal hydroxides and similar inorganic foulants
