until it runs clear.

Install the Membrane. Remove the yellow tubing
connect to the Membrane Cap and use the Membrane
Wrench to remove the Cap.

the Membrane Wrench. Re-attach the yellow tubing

of each Canister prior to re-attaching the Canisters.
The Carbon Cartridge will have gasket on each end
of the cartridge that must be properly seated.

It is important
to push the Membrane
