15. Removal of the R.O. Membrane Element from the Pressure Vessel. CAUTION: At each end of the
Reverse Osmosis Membrane Element is a Product Water Tube approximately ¾" diameter by 1" long.
The outside diameter surface of this product water tube is a sealing surface, which isolates the Product
Water from the Feed Water. The surface of the Product Water Tube must be scratch free. Never use
pliers or other grabbing tools on the Product Water Tube. Do not drop the R.O. Membrane onto a hard
surface as the Product Water Tube may be damaged.
With your fingers grasp the Product Water Tube attached to the R.O. Membrane Element from the
INLET end of the Pressure Vessel and pull outward. If resistance is met then cup the INLET end of the
High Pressure Vessel with one hand and shake downward to dislodge the R.O. Membrane Element.
16. Run a rag through the High Pressure Vessel to remove any biological film or debris from the High Pressure
Vessel.
17. A new Sea Recovery R.O. Membrane Element comes complete with a "U" cup Brine Seal at one end of the
Element. This Brine Seal must be positioned at the INLET end of the Pressure Vessel.

Install a new R.O. Membrane Element with
attached "U" cup Brine Seal into the Pressure
Vessel. Place the end of the R.O. Membrane
Element that DOES NOT have the Brine Seal
attached into the INLET end of the Pressure
Vessel and slide it into the Pressure Vessel. (
Insert the down stream end [end without a brine
seal] of the Reverse Osmosis Membrane Element
into the upstream inlet end of the High Pressure
Vessel. )
18. Slide the Membrane Element into the High Pressure Vessel, past the brine seal, until the Membrane
Element product water tube is 4 inches past the end lip of the High Pressure Vessel.
19. Insert the End Plug with new attached O-Rings into the High Pressure Vessel while aligning the High
Pressure Port and Product Water Port to the respective holes in the High Pressure Vessel. Continue
pushing inward on the End Plug just past the Segment Ring Groove in the Pressure Vessel. Ensure that
the Ports of the End Plug are aligned with the Port Holes of the High Pressure Vessel.
