4.7.3
When should the membrane be replaced?
A membrane has a lifetime of about 5 years. Then, as the plastic materials harden, the pores retighten and
production will decrease. Then, you must replace the membrane.
Or if the membrane has accidentally has taken in fuel or oil, it also must be replaced.
To replace a reverse osmosis membrane, please contact us directly or through one of our dealers, to obtain
the membrane replacement specification sheet, by communicating the serial number of the watermaker.
