The membrane element life will range from 1 to 5 years, depending on the quality of the raw
water. Soft water free from iron is ideal. Hardness, iron, chlorine and infrequently changed filter
cartridges are the membrane’s greatest enemies.
To change the membrane element, start by closing the cold water supply valve. Open the
faucet and completely drain until the flow of water stops. Disconnect the elbow fittings from
each end of the membrane housing and remove the housing from the holding brackets. Replace
the membrane housing and connect the elbow fittings back to the new membrane housing.
Open the cold water supply valve and check for leaks and fix if necessary. Allow the tank to fill
completely, when the tank is full, open the faucet and flush full tank of water and close the
faucet and allow the tank to fill up again.
