Spectra Newport - Pickling for storage

[Zanshin]

I'm about to put "Zanshin" back on the hard and just followed the instruction for pickling my Spectra Newport. The water used to flush the system looked a bit different than usual and after finishing pickling I realized that the solution was soapy looking and checked the container that contained the powder - and it turns out that I didn't use "SC-1 Pickling" but "SC-2 Alkaline" cleaning solution! The instructions for using the 2 are quite similar, but now I'm in a bit of a dilemma as I don't have anywhere to get the correct SC-1 pickling solution and would like to know if I can leave the the SC-2 in the system in lieu of putting the correct solution in. My only other choice right now is to flush out the solution with water but then I don't have any means to pickle the watermaker.

I'm open to any suggestions...

Hmmmm. If you do not have the SC-1, SC-2 would be the biocide you would use to try to clean the growth on the membrane. But, prolonged exposure to the cleaner can damage the membrane.

SC-2 is okay to leave overnight, or even a day, but you’re better off doing a healthy fresh water flush.

Yes, flush the SC-2 from your system. If you can not get any SC-1 (just call me) you can use Propylene Glycol.
