MEMBRANE INSTALLATION, REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT 

Installation and replacing membranes in the pressure vessels is an easy process with the proper infor-
mation and tools at hand. Please refer to the following instructions when removing and replacing mem-
brane elements: 

WARNING:  ALL  PRESSURE  GAUGES  MUST  READ  ZERO  BEFORE  PROCEED-

ING.  BEFORE  ATTEMPTING,  DISCONNECT  THE  POWER  FROM  THE  SYSTEM 
AND BLEED ALL WATER PRESSURE FROM THE SYSTEM. 

1.  Remove the end cap from the right (feed water) side of the membrane housings. This is done by remov-

ing the two half-moon retaining disks using a #5 Allen wrench, the end plug should then freely slide out of 
the pressure vessel.  The tubing must be disconnected to remove the cap fully. 

2.  Remove the membrane bag containing the membrane element from the shipping box. The mem-

brane should be contained within a plastic oxygen barrier bag. 

NOTE: WEAR GLOVES FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PROTECT THE MEMBRANE 

FROM CONTAMINATION. 

3.  Cut the bag open as close as possible to the seal at one end of the bag, so the bag may be re-used if nec-

essary.
