To replace a membrane filter:
1.
Turn the feed and draw solution pump OFF.
2.
Open all of the valves in the system to relieve any pressure build up.
3.
Loosen the screws in the cell top.
4.
Separate the cell body top from the cell bottom.
5.
Remove the membrane.
6.
Install the new membrane.
7.
Reassemble the cell top and bottom.
8.
Secure the cell top to the cell bottom using the tightening knobs.
9.
Turn the feed and draw solution pump on.
6. SUPPLEMENTARY OPERATING INFORMATION
The membranes, feed spacer, permeate, O-rings, and cell body materials construction
dictate the maximum operating temperatures.

6.1 MEMBRANE PERFORMANCE
Parameters such as viscosity, pressure, and suspended solids may also affect
performance/operation. Experimentation with the CF016P-FO Cell can help predict the
best operating parameters. If your pump is delivering too much flow, a portion of the flow
can be diverted back to the feed container before entering the feed inlet of the cell body.
This requires installation of an optional bypass valve and fitting on the pump outlet, which
is not supplied with the system.
