3.7 Installing the filter cartridges and membrane(s)
3.7.1 Cartridge filter
Ensure the inlet valve is closed and the
system isn’t under pressure.
Remove the drain plug located on the front
bottom of the filter housing.
Replace the plug once the housing is empty.
Remove the filter-housing cap by turning the
clamp handle counter-clockwise. Once the
clamp is released, remove the clamp and
filter cap.
Pull the cartridge out by using the handle on
the cartridge alignment plate.
Unscrew the cartridge alignment plate from
the cartridge and dispose of the spent
cartridge.
Remove all protective wrapping from a new
filter cartridge. A potable silicon lubricant
should be used on the sealing edges of the
cartridge to ensure the gasket does not tear
during seating. Attach the cartridge
alignment plate and insert the sediment filter
cartridge over the discharge tube at the
bottom of the housing. Ensure the filter is
inserted all the way down to the bottom.
The housing is sealed with an o-ring - ensure this sealing ring is properly seated and has no
cracks or cuts, prior to re-assembly. Align the cap and reattach the clamp. Tighten the clamp
handle. (See figure 4)
3.7.2 Membrane installation
Note: When installing or removing membranes, wear clean rubber gloves that have been
washed in anti-bacterial solution to sterilize them. This can help to prevent any bacteria from
contaminating the membranes’ product core. (See Figure 5 for membrane housing assembly)
• Disconnect the power and turn off the feed water to the unit
•
Disconnect the permeate line attached to the membrane housing’s end cap at the
union(s) provided.
•
Remove the end cap from the membrane housing by loosening the 3 cap screws and
removing the SST retaining ring(s). It is best to remove both end caps at either end of
the housings.
•
Once the end caps are removed, take out the thrust cage and gasket. Thrust cages are
at the opposite end of the housing feed, in order to prevent telescoping of the membrane
under pressure.
•
Remove the membrane element from its carton, ensuring the membrane element doesn’t
come in contact with the floor or any other dirty surface. Record the serial numbers and
the housing number that this membrane will be used in.
•
Stand the membrane element on its end with the brine seal at the bottom. Open the end
of the protective bag surrounding the membrane element. Lightly lubricate the brine seal
and all o-rings located on the membrane product adapters (attached to end caps) with a
good quality, silicone o-ring lubricant. DO NOT USE PETROLEUM-BASED
LUBRICANTS .
•
Ensure the brine seal is facing toward the inlet end of the housing. (This is indicated by
the direction of flow label on the housing). See Figure 3a.
