How to Change the RO Membrane
(Recommended about once a year)
NOTE! Make sure water ow to the system is o
1. Remove the 3 stem elbows attached to the Reverse
Osmosis Membrane Housing. For detailed directions of
disconnecting these refer to the Quick Connect Guide
(Page 12)
2. Unscrew the cap from the Membrane Housing and remove the Membrane inside, be sure to note the
correct orientation of the membrane
3. Wash out the RO Membrane Housing
Mix ½ gallon of water with 1 tbsp of household bleach
Note: Do not add bleach directly to the membrane housing
Scrub the inside of the membrane housing with the bleach mixture
Rinse the housing until all traces of bleach are gone as bleach will damage your membrane
4. Install the new RO Membrane in the Housing in the correct direction you noted earlier (the single large
rubber ring will face towards the cap). Make sure to push the Membrane in rmly and check to see if the
o-ring is in place. Then close the Housing by tightening the cap with your hand.
5. Now reattach the stem elbows to the RO Membrane Housing. If this is the only/last lter you are changing
begin the “System Startup” instructions on Page 14.
Make sure the O-Ring is in place
before you tighten the Membrane

Filter and RO Membrane Storage
- Store unopened lters in an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing air. This prolongs the shelf
life of the lters and avoids any possible odors or contamination from the air.
- Using this method it is okay to store lters for several years. Store in a cool, dry, dark place (avoid heat and
moisture contamination).
