4. Install the feed spacer into the central cavity, on top of the shim. The feed spacer must
lie flat and be fully contained within the cavity.
Note: The feed spacer and the permeate carrier look similar and are cut in the same
size. The permeate carrier is thinner and has a tight weave while the feed spacer has
large gridding.
5. Place a piece of pre-cut membrane over the feed spacer using the four guideposts
to hold the membrane in position. The membrane should be installed with the shiny (or
active) side down toward the feed spacer.
Note: If you are cutting your own membranes, the membrane's outer edge should fit
between the inner and outer O-rings in the cell body to prevent leakage.
