If you look closely there is a white rubber ring on the actual membrane. When sliding in the membrane that should go in last, and on that side there should be the inlet, the other side waste and pure. Hope that helps.

If there is no rubber on it it might have come off when the previous owner took it out. Contact him. If he can't find it contact June at Gapswater, she might be able to help you out.

That's ludicrous. It's a rubber ring for crying out loud. :-\

If the seal is the same, same membrane sure. Don't use silicon, you could actually end up damaging the rubber.
