    Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a method for washing a separation membrane module after filtering raw water containing particles having a hardness higher than that of a separation membrane, wherein abrasion of the membrane outer surface by high hardness particles at the time of air scrubbing is efficiently reduced, and a cake layer resistance originating in high hardness particles on the membrane surface is suppressed when the membrane is successively used in a filtration step to allow stable operations at a low transmembrane pressure for a long time period. Thus, after completion of filtration, water at the primary side in a separation membrane module is drained to outside the system, backwash waste water in the separation membrane module is then drained while carrying out backwash, and any of the steps of:filling the primary side in the separation membrane module with water and carrying out air scrubbing; andcarrying out air scrubbing while feeding water to the primary side in the separation membrane moduleis then carried out, followed by draining water at the primary side in the separation membrane module to outside the system.
