Video instructions available here
Before starting this is a good time to first sterlise your Reverse Osmosis system.
Steps
(Useful things to have nearby – 1. A cloth for any slight leakage 2. A pair of pliers to grasp the membrane)
1) Close the Saddle Valve and the Tank Valve then drain the system and empty the tank
2) Open the sinktop Tap/ Faucet to relieve system pressure
3) Take out any supply tube at the cap end of the membrane housing unit.
4) Un-screw the membrane filter housing cap - taking care not to lose the rubber o-ring. Sometimes the o-rings can drop out.
5) Remove the existing membrane using pliers if necessary.
Reset
6) Insert your new membrane with the two small black o-rings entering first.
7) Replace cap and supply tube
8) Turn off the sinktop Tap/ Faucet tap
9) Open tank valve
10) Open saddle valve to restart the water supply.
Refill Tank and Flush
11) Let the tank refill (this can take a couple of hours - depending on your local water pressure)
CAUTION: new filters must be flushed out before use. Discard all the water made in the first two tank fills. (Fill the tank then leave the Faucet / Tap open until the storage tank drains. Then refill tank. Repeat).
