RX Manual 04/04 Rev. 6 SYSTEM INSTALLATION<br />

2.11 INSTALLATION OF REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE(S)<br />

CAUTION<br />

CAUTION<br />

Never engage or disengage retaining “U” pins without wearing safety<br />

glasses.<br />

Never allow the <strong>RO</strong> membrane to dry out once it has been wet, or<br />

irreversible damage will result.<br />

<strong>USF</strong>ilter Reverse Osmosis units are normally shipped with the membranes installed and<br />

preserved in sodium bisulfite solution. However, should the need arise, the following<br />

procedures may be followed to install membranes:<br />

A. Disconnect all tubing from all <strong>RO</strong> pressure vessel end caps. This is done by<br />

pushing in the outer ring of the quick disconnect fitting while at the same time<br />

pulling the tubing out of the fitting.<br />

B. Remove <strong>RO</strong> pressure vessels from the frame, taking care to identify their proper<br />

location(s).<br />

C. Remove all “U” pins and end caps from each <strong>RO</strong> pressure vessel.<br />

D. Remove the each <strong>RO</strong> membrane from the <strong>RO</strong> pressure vessel in the same<br />

direction in which the feed water flows through it.<br />

E. Before installing the new <strong>RO</strong> membrane, lightly lubricate the brine (chevron) seal<br />

and o-rings with glycerin or water.<br />

F. Load the <strong>RO</strong> membrane in the direction in which the feed water will flow,<br />

inserting the end without a brine (chevron) seal first. Be careful not to roll, cut or<br />

otherwise damage the brine (chevron) seals when loading each membrane.<br />

G. Replace the end cap into the <strong>RO</strong> pressure vessel end opposite from loading end.<br />

Secure the end cap with the retaining “U” pin.<br />

H. Install the end cap on the feed end and secure it with the other “U” pin.<br />

I. Re-install <strong>RO</strong> pressure vessels onto the frame in their proper location(s).<br />

J. Reconnect the tubing to all end cap tube fittings by pushing into the fitting until<br />

the tubing “locks” into place.<br />
