THAT PROTRUDES ON ONE SIDE OF THE MEMBRANE AND IS ALWAYS ON THE

FEED SIDE OF THE MEMBRANE ELEMENT.

1. Remove one membrane element at a time from the membrane element

housings, from the top of the housing. Long nose pliers may be necessary to pull

the old membrane element out of the membrane element housing.

2. Lubricate the brine seal with non petroleum based lubricant, Silicone DC 111.

3. Install the brine seal side of the membrane element first. When the housings

have a direction of flow from bottom to top, the brine seal should be located at

the bottom of the housing.

4. At a slight angle insert the membrane while slightly rotating the element being

careful not to tear or flip the brine seal. A slow twisting motion should be used to

insert the membrane element, to ensure the brine seal stays in place. Re-lube

the brine seal if necessary.

5. With a smooth and constant motion, push the membrane element into the

housing so the brine seal enters the housing without coming out of the brine seal

groove.

6. Re-install the end caps by gently twisting the end cap while pushing it onto the

housing. Ensure that you do not pinch or fatigue any O-rings while re-installing

the end plug. Push the end plug on until the outer diameter of the plug is flush

with the outer diameter of the membrane housing.

7. Insert the snap ring until it is fully seated. Install the locking clip if available.

8. Reconnect any fittings that may have been disconnected when the membrane

element housings were disassembled.

9. To Start-Up the system, please refer to the Start-Up section of this manual. (See
