14. Reinstall the membrane housing assembly into the two “tooth-like” clips and squeeze the clips together until
the membrane is snug.
15. Reconnect the black tubing on the input end and tighten the compression nut.
16. Reconnect the black tubing on the opposite end and tighten the compression nut.
17. Inset the blue tubing firmly into the push fitting on the same end.
18. Turn on the water supply to the system and plug in the power cord.
19. The water level will have to be below the low float for the system to turn on so you can check for leaks.
TIPS FOR LONG MEMBRANE LIFE:
1. Replace the 0.2micron sediment filter at least once every 6 months. This will prevent membrane fouling due
to silt or sediment depositing on the membrane.
2. Replace the 0.5 micron carbon block filter at least once every 6 months or when chlorine breakthrough
occurs. This will ensure good membrane life and protect the membrane from chlorine damage.
3. The membrane should not be operated at lower than the recommended concentrate to purified water ratios.
4. Operating reverse osmosis systems on softened feed water greatly reduces the chances of membrane fouling.
DEIONIZATION CARTRIDGE MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT:
Materials required:
Filter wrench and DI cartridge.
Procedure:
1. When the reading on the external Resistivity Monitor drops below 1 Mohm/cm
2
(or whatever the minimum
requirement is), it is time to replace
both
DI cartridges.
2. Disconnect power to the system and shut down the water supply line.
3. Use the filter housing wrench to rotate the housing counterclockwise and remove.
4. Remove the spent DI cartridge from the housing and discard.
5. Install a new DI cartridge in the housing.
6. Be sure the DI cartridge is installed in the same orientation as the original and that the top seal is securely
attached to the top of the cartridge.
7. Reinstall and tighten the cartridge housing by rotating it clockwise, then hand tighten.
8. Turn the sysstem on and check for leaks.
