1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system. Place the system
where the membrane housing is easily accessible.
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 (Page 9-10).
3. Lift the membrane housing from the retention clips.
4. Unscrew the membrane housing lid. This may require two people.
5. Use a pair of pliers to grasp the membrane stem and pull the
membrane from the housing (Fig. F).
6. Remove the black housing O-ring (Fig. F). Wash the empty housing
with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with hot, clean water.
7. Insert new membrane into the housing, with the double
O-ring end first (Fig. G). The tube must fit into the recess at the
bottom of the membrane housing. When the membrane is aligned
with the hole, firmly push the membrane into the hole until it
bottoms
out.
8. Place the black housing O-ring on the housing rim and carefully
screw the lid back on to the base.
9. Reconnect the black tubing to the membrane feed push-fitting.
Note: If you have a dual-membrane system, perform steps 2 thru 9 on
the second membrane now. ( See page 8, Fig. C for tubing re-
connection)
IF YOU ARE REPLACING YOUR MEMBRANE WITH A DIFFERENT GPD
RATING, YOU WILL NEED TO REPLACE YOUR FLOW RESTRICTOR WITH
THE ONE THAT MATCHES YOUR NEW MEMBRANE.
10. Disconnect the yellow concentrate tubing from the membrane
housing and remove the flow restrictor (Fig. D) from the yellow
tubing (Refer to the procedure on page 9-10). Reconnect the tubing
to the membrane housing. Place the flow restrictor in a safe location
where it will not be accidentally crushed or damaged.
11. Put the yellow concentrate tubing and the blue product
water tubing in the drain and turn on the system water supply.
Allow the system to flush for several minutes to remove any loose
particles.
