6. With both filtered water and waste water lines in the drain, turn on
the water supply. This will flush the filter cartridges prior to installing
the membrane and extend the membrane life. Flush for 5 minutes
until the water is clear coming from the filtered water line and the
waste water line.
7.
After the water runs clear, turn off the water supply and allow
the RO Buddie to drain.
8. Remove the tubing attached to the elbow fitting on top of the
RO membrane, remove the blue clip, depress the collet around
the tubing and remove the tubing.
9. Unscrew the membrane housing lid from the membrane housing.
Remove the membrane from the plastic bag and insert the
membrane into the membrane housing. The membrane should
be inserted so that the top of the plastic pipe in the membrane
is flush with the top of the membrane housing.
10. Replace the membrane housing lid and tighten with the supplied
wrench. Reattach the tubing and replace the blue clip to secure
the tubing to the elbow connection on the membrane housing.
11. Run the RO Buddie for 30 minutes to remove the preservative
from the membrane.
NOTE: If you are using a DI resin filter cartridge, install it
after flushing the membrane. This will prevent exhaustion
of the resin during the membrane flushing.
Reverse Osmosis technology alone cannot eliminate
unusually high concentrations of individual components.
Examples include high levels of silica and nitrate. To remove
residual dissolved solids from the reverse osmosis water,
an additional deionization filter can be utilized.
