Caution: At each end of the Reverse Osmosis Membrane Element is a Product Water Tube approximately
½” diameter by 1” long. The outside diameter surface of this product water tube is a sealing surface, which
isolates the Product Water from the Feed Water. The surface of the Product Water Tube must be scratch
free. Never use pliers or other grabbing tools on the Product Water Tube. Do not drop the R.O. Membrane
onto a hard surface as the Product Water Tube may be damaged.
15. With your fingers grasp the Product Water Tube attached to the R.O. Membrane Element from the INLET end
of the Pressure Vessel and pull outward. If resistance is met then cup the INLET end of the High Pressure
Vessel with one hand and shake downward to dislodge the R.O. Membrane Element.
16. Run a rag through the High Pressure Vessel to remove any biological film or debris from the High Pressure
Vessel.
A new Sea Recovery R.O. Membrane Element comes complete with a “U” cup Brine Seal at one end of the
Element. This Brine Seal must be positioned at the INLET end of the Pressure Vessel.
