RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT
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 7).
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. D).
6. Remove the black housing O-ring (Fig. D). 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. E). 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.
10. Disconnect the yellow concentrate tubing (Fig.C) from the membrane
housing and remove the flow restrictor from the yellow tubing. 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.
