INSTALLATION & USE
Membrane Replacement Procedure
- Shut off water supply and depressurize the system by opening the RO faucet
- Remove the membrane housing cap, pull out the old membrane, and inspect the housing for debris or buildup
- Insert the new VX-TW30 membrane into the housing with the rubber seal end first, ensuring it seats fully
- Reinstall the housing cap, turn on water supply, and flush the system for 30-45 minutes before use
- Check for leaks at all connection points and monitor initial water quality over the first 24 hours
COMPATIBILITY
System Fitment
The Valuetrex VX-TW30 membrane fits most standard residential reverse osmosis systems with conventional 1.8" × 12" membrane housings. This includes systems from major manufacturers using the industry-standard housing dimension. Verify your existing membrane dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
🔧 Pro tip: If your RO system is producing water slower than usual but the membrane isn't due for replacement, check your prefilters first. A clogged sediment or carbon filter will starve the membrane of adequate feed pressure and reduce output dramatically.
