Good Video! Especially liked the aluminum can suggestion! Top Notch!

Great video straight forward and simple, to the point on removing and replacing the membrane on a water maker

[@LaterThanWeThink]

Great video, thanks. I'm cruising in Mexico and this was very helpful, as there are not a lot of RO techs down here.

Not problem with knowing the direction of water flow. But my question is: Do membranes have a direction themselves? Is there a head and bottom or they can be install in any direction?

[@therealjohnireland]

Yes - the membranes are directional. There is a brine seal on one end of the membrane - think of this as the feather on an arrow. The brine seal end goes in last. Watch the video again - about 4:45 to 7:00. Thanks for asking!

John Ireland Ok mine are 2 one feeds the other. They're installed standing next to the other. So inlet water should start from where black seal is? Then the secondary membrane should receive it from same side?

[@therealjohnireland]

Follow the high pressure lines, the first membrane will feed the second one. It's all explained in the video.
