I have been having trouble with my 40inch ro. I have not had it for very long compared with my previous ones.
The Tds has been a problem to keep down so I have bought a new one.
When taking the old one out I noticed that the small skirt seal is kinked over(this flays out when under pressure thus stopping the bad water getting through!!! I have reseated it and tried to put it back in (twisting at the same time as recommended) I then pulled it back out and the seal is,once again,kinked over.
Anyone with a foolproof method to stop this from happening?
Cheers.

Use petroleum jelly. It seems to me your seals are not lubricated.

Hi thanks for the reply. Do you put the vaseline on the little "skirt" seal?
I have changed these before without doing anything so I must have just got lucky!!

Very thin layer only. Never had any issues doing it this way. Even when housing came apart due to overpressure one of seals got kinked just turned it around when inserting new membrane.

Vaseline is the answer to many life problems!

Joking aside, I think you'd be better with a water based lubricant such as this:

I had this same issue and found that I had been inserting the membrane from the wrong end of the housing.
Why they dont give an advice sheet is beyond me!!!
Same. It’s just guess work otherwise!

Hi Stevieg
We have provided a video guide to assembling Commercial RO systems included tips on how best to fit the membranes.
