Ro Membrane Replacement - SpectraPure The Eliminator Operator's Manual

SpectraPure

RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT:

1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system. Place the system
where the membrane housing is easily accessible.
2. Remove the black tubing from the membrane feed push-fitting
by depressing the collar on the fitting with your thumb and pulling
the tubing from the push-fitting (Page 12).
3. Lift the membrane housing from the retention clips.
4. Unscrew the membrane housing lid. This may require two people.
5. Use a pair of pliers to grasp the membrane stem and pull the
membrane from the housing (Fig. F).
6. Remove the black housing O-ring (Fig. F). Wash the empty
housing with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with hot, clean water.
7. Insert the new membrane into the housing, with the double
O-ring end first (Fig.G). The o-rings and tube must fit into the recess
at the bottom of the membrane housing. When the membrane is
aligned with the hole, firmly push the membrane into the hole
until it bottoms out.
8. Place the black housing O-ring on the housing rim and carefully
screw the lid back on to the base. Hand-tighten.
9. Reconnect the black tubing to the membrane feed push-fitting.
Note: If you have a dual-membrane system, perform steps 2 thru 9 on
the second membrane.
10. Disconnect the yellow concentrate tubing (Fig. E) from the
membrane housing and remove the flow restrictor (Fig. D)
