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 10).
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 new membrane into the housing, with the double O-ring end
first (Fig. G). The 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.
