1) Turn OFF the cold water supply to RO system. Turn OFF tank ball-valve. Lift up RO faucet lever briefly to
relief the built-up pressure inside the RO system. This will make opening the housings easier.
2) See Fig.B Locate the Membrane housings on the system and start with “MEM-1” housing first. Remove
the tubing from the housing’s cap. To remove tubing, Push In and Hold Down on the collet ring square
against the fitting. With the collet held in this position the tube can be removed. Open up the cap (turn
counter-clockwise). Remove the used membrane and discard. Insert the new membrane using a pair of
pliers. Push membrane into housing. Avoid touching the Membrane with your hands to prevent contami-
nation!
3) Important! Make sure the “double-ring” end of the membrane goes into the housing first.
The membrane cannot filter water if it’s inserted in the WRONG direction!
4) Close the housing cap. Reconnect the tubing to the cap before going onto the next housing.
5) Proceed to insert the other membranes in the same manner.
6) Check for leaks!
7) Drain the first tank of water (through faucet) to flush out the new membrane!
The 2
nd
tank of water is ready for use.
Note: Make sure the membrane’s end with 2 black-rings goes into housing first!
