Reverse Osmosis Membrane Trouble

RO MEMBRANE TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR THE NEWLY INSTALLED REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE

Many parameters change during the changing of the RO membrane and filters in a reverse osmosis drinking water system. First, new filters and membrane creates a different water pressure than was present before the change. This is due to the freer flow from the filters and the new membrane.

Always sanitize the system when changing filters and membrane. See our online guide for sanitizing your RO system. Bacterial growth or Biofilm can come from contact with your hands or other means of contact.
