RO Single-Membrane Replacement
Maintenance Regime:
As needed. Refer to the procedure for testing mem-
brane quality on page 19.
Materials Required:
Replacement Encapsulated RO Membrane
Procedure:
1. Turn off water supply to the system.
2. Mark, or otherwise note, the locations of the yellow, blue, and
black tubing connected to the encapsulated RO membrane
(see
Fig.
C).
3. Depress the collar on the membrane feed push-fitting with your
thumbnail and pull the black feed tubing from the fitting. This is the
line that runs between the carbon filter and the encapsulated RO
membrane.
4. Lift the encapsulated RO membrane from the holding clips.
5. Remove the yellow and blue tubing from the encapsulated RO
membrane by depressing their push-fittings with your thumbnail
and pulling the tubing from the fittings.
6. Remove the flow restrictor assembly from the end of the yellow
tubing as described in the Removal, Adjustment, and Replace

fittings on your replacement encapsulated membrane, as described

Notes
Sediment Pre-Filter Replacement
Maintenance Regime:
For maximum contaminant removal and long mem-
brane life, the sediment and carbon pre-filters must be changed at 6-month
intervals. If your water contains a great deal of sediment or chlorine, the pre-filters
may require more frequent changes to maintain adequate production rate and
extended membrane life.
Materials Required:
1 micron MicroTec™ Sediment Filter (SF-MT-1-10)
Procedure:
1. Turn off water supply to the system.
2. Refer to photo on page 4. Using the provided filter wrench,
remove the left clear sediment pre-filter housing. Unscrew it
counterclockwise as viewed from the bottom
3. Remove the old filter from the housing and discard.
4. Thoroughly wash the housing with a mixture of hot soapy water
and a few teaspoons of household bleach. Rinse well with clean
hot
water.
5. Install the new pre-filter into the housing, screw the housing
back onto the assembly, and tighten securely using the supplied
filter
wrench.
6. Proceed with carbon block filter replacement.
