Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning Exterior

To clean the exterior, use a mild, non-abrasive household type cleaner mixed with warm water. Apply by using a damp cloth that you soaked in the cleaning solution and wrung out. Do not expose LCD Display to liquids as this may cause damage.

Sanitizing and Decontamination of Interior

  • The best decontamination method is a mixture of 30% chlorine bleach with 70% water solution.
  • Other methods such as any household detergent, mild soap solution, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, and denature alcohol can be safely used.
  • Do not use any petroleum based cleaning solution.
  • To perform this sanitizing procedure, cover all inner surfaces with solution, let stand for 30 minutes, and remove.
  • Spraying the solution into the inner vessel is preferred.
  • Rinse the decontaminated surfaces with clean water and ensure all cleaner residue has been removed
  • Allow the tank to dry completely before putting back into service.

If you any questions concerning the decontamination process, please contact Custom BioGenics Systems Technical Support 1-800-523-0072.
