Working in a bottled water company and we had installed a new RO system last year.
However, high total plate count (>500cfu/ml) & pseudomonas aeruginosa had been detected from the system since first week of operation.
Sanitation (using hydrogen peroxide/peroxyacetic acid) had been applied to the system but it seems it only suppress the microbe for a few days. If the RO system has not been used for 2-3 days and pseudomonas aeruginosa is detected again when the system is on.
Has anyone experienced the same issue or any advices on this issue?
Thank you!!
