Insert a membrane into vessel #2 if a two membrane system. The end with the seal will go into the vessel first

seal remains in the grooves of the membrane as it is installed in the vessel.

Insert the vessel caps into the top of the vessels and secure with the
clamps. The cap with valve V2 and the pressure gauge will go on vessel #2
of a two membrane system (on the single vessel on a single membrane
system).
Daily
Each day, it is recommended the following be done:
1.
Inspect the prefilter. If it is dirty or had a “slimy” coating - change the prefilter.
2.
Remove, clean and reinstall the strainer in the Y-strainer.
3.
Sample the permeate liquid;
a.
Purge the permeate line by running the system and drawing a volume of permeate to a test cup.
b.
Test the permeate sugar level using either a refractometer or a hydrometer.
c.
If the results indicate there is any sugar present there is a possible problem with the membrane O-
rings or alignment coupling. Check the troubleshooting chart.
4.
Check all hoses, piping, fittings and connections for leaks. Repair as necessary.
