11.3 Replacement of the reverse osmosis membrane
The osmosis membrane should last at least 2 years. NO warning is activated when a change of the osmosis membrane
is needed. The symptoms that indicate that the membrane must be replaced are:
- Decrease in production flow.
- Higher consumption of resin cartridges.
IMPORTANT! Before replacing the membrane, verify the compliance of the Consumable storage requirements
described in Section 4.4 in the membrane to be installed or call your supplier for the acquisition of a new membrane.
IMPORTANT! To install or replace the membrane, ensure no water is being fed into the equipment and the
equipment is depressurized (follow instructions below). The QC connectors cannot be disconnected under pressure.
Follow the instructions below to install or replace the osmosis membrane:
Close the feed water shut-off valve.
The warning Water cut is activated. Pressing the MODE / ESC key deactivates the acoustic signal.
Access the location of the osmosis membrane The membrane is installed inside the equipment, on the left
side. Remove the top and left covers to access the membrane.
Disconnect the membrane from the QC connections (See QC connection/disconnection instructions at the

o
Lower connector (Water inlet = IN).
o
Upper connector: Middle connector ( Permeate) and side connector ( Rejection).
Pull the membrane to release it from the anchor that holds it to the back wall of the equipment.
Connect the new membrane from the QC connections. Make sure the connections are made properly.
Open the feed water shut-off valve.
11.4 Tank cleaning and disinfection
The tank must be emptied, cleaned and disinfected:
-
At least once a year (recommended: at least 2 times a year)
-
After prolonged stops.
Cleaning the tank eliminates the contamination attached to the tank walls. It is recommended to clean the tank with a jet
of water under pressure or by rubbing the tank walls.
A small dose of neutral detergent can be used during the cleaning. After cleaning, the detergent must be completely
removed. To remove it, thoroughly rinse the tank with water.
After cleaning and disinfecting the tank, thoroughly rinse the tank with tap water, and use purified water for a final rinse.
