Changing RO membrane

jdpeters · Jan 19, 2019

trying to change my brs rodi membrane but can’t get it to twist loose for the life of me. Do you have to disconnect the lines first? Anyone have any suggestions? I can’t find a good video on how to change it

It's in there really tight. Just use some pliers on the end of the tube. You'll see the rubber seal holding it in when you get it out. Just be gentle with the new one, and push it in really well as the same seal holding it in is what keeps the water pure.

Pliers on the tube? So don’t bother taking the three lines off?

Well, you unscrew the round ro holding vessel and inside is the membrane. If you need to pull those tubes off to unscrew the vessel, then yes, but I assumed you got to the point where you could yank the membrane out and it was wedged in there... Which it is!

I ran a zip tie through the membrane holes to pull it out, that thing was in there tight!
