IPA Care and System Cleaning

How to maintain IPA quality and keep ProWash S running efficiently

Overview

Proper IPA care and routine maintenance are essential for consistent cleaning performance and long-term reliability of your ProWash S. This guide explains how to monitor, replace, and handle IPA, as well as how to clean internal components and prepare the unit for periods of non-use.


When to Replace IPA

Replace IPA when:

• The touchscreen prompts you
• A hydrometer floats
• Cleaning results become inconsistent

 
 

How to Drain IPA

ProWash S includes a pre-installed drain hose clipped to the back of the unit.

  1. Remove the drain hose from the holder.
  2. Press the metal inlet tip into the drainage port until it clicks into place.
  3. Place the free end of the hose into an approved IPA waste container.
  4. Release the safety clamp to begin draining.
  5. When finished, slide the outer ring of the drain port away from you to disengage the hose.

Repeat for both chambers as needed.

 
 

How to Add Fresh IPA

  1. Open the reservoir lid.
  2. Add at least 500 mL of IPA to each chamber.
    • Recommended: 91 percent IPA
    • 99 percent IPA can be used, but level sensors may require several cycles to recognize the IPA.Accordion Body
 
 

How to Clean the IPA Tanks

Tank cleaning should be performed each time IPA is replaced.

  1. Remove the hydrometer from the chamber.
  2. Scrub the tank using the provided cleaning brush.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with fresh IPA.
  4. Replace the hydrometer and repeat for the second chamber.
 
 

How to Clean the Mesh Filter

The mesh filter protects internal plumbing from debris and should be cleaned when prompted on the screen.

  1. Unscrew the filter.
  2. Rinse under cold water to remove debris.
  3. Reinstall securely.
 
 

Long-Term Storage Guidelines

If you will not be using ProWash S for a while:

• Keep the unit plugged in so it remains ready for use.
• Ensure both chambers contain fresh IPA, not saturated IPA.
• Close the reservoir lid to reduce evaporation.
