Chlorine can also damage your membrane, resulting in premature
membrane failure. Therefore, your RO system uses an extruded carbon
filter to remove chlorine from your feed water. Install the carbon cartridge
as follows:
1. Remove the carbon filter (Part Number D502115) from its packaging
and wet the o-rings with water.
2. Insert the carbon filter straight into the right position upper and lower
quick disconnect and push until firmly connected. For easier
installation, connect bottom first.
1. Remove the RO membrane from its packaging. Note the location of
the FEED, PRODUCT, and REJECT connections on the housing.
The correct orientation for the installed membrane will be vertical with
the FEED connection down.
2. Open the left side door on the RO system.
3. Locate the three unconnected tubes labeled FEED, PRODUCT, and
REJECT. Refer to Tubing Installation and mark tubing 1.75 cm
(11/16") from end.
4. Note the orientation of the membrane housing and install the
unconnected tubes into the corresponding connectors on the
membrane housing. To do so, first wet the tube end with water and
push the tube end firmly into the connector. Start with the FEED
followed by the PRODUCT and finally the REJECT.
