RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT:
1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system. Place the system where
the membrane housing(s) can be easily accessed.
2. Remove the black tubing from the membrane feed push fitting by
depressing the collar on the fitting with your thumb and pulling the
tubing from the push fitting. You should not have to remove the blue
and yellow tubes.
3. Lift the membrane housing from the retention clips and unscrew the
membrane housing cap. This may require two people.
4. Use a pair of pliers to grasp the membrane stem and pull the membrane
from the housing.
5. Remove the black housing O-ring. Wash the empty housing with
soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with hot, clean water.
6. Insert the new membrane into the housing, with the double O-ring
end first. The O-rings and tube must fit into the recess at the bottom
of the membrane housing. When the membrane is aligned with the
recess, firmly push the membrane into the recess until it bottoms out.
7. Place the black housing O -ring on the housing rim and carefully screw
the lid back on to the base. Hand-tighten.
8. Reconnect the black tubing to the membrane feed push fitting.
9. Check for leaks.
NOTE:
In some locations, extreme hard water can lead to a premature
fouling of the membrane. Those users have two options:
a.) Replace the membrane and continue to save on the water
wasted.
b.) Request a “hard water” flow restrictor configured for those
hard water locations that will extend the life of the membrane,
but increase the waste water produced.
Softened feed water can eliminate the problem described above
.
