NOTE
On Models WPES-20, H-9518-2, WPES-30, and H-9518-3 the top and second from
bottom R.O. pressure tubes have reverse flow direction. Open end of brine seal must face
opposite the direction of flow. Refer to figure 3-2.
Lubricate brine seal (1, figure 3-5) with silicone grease from storage chest. Insert the first R.O. element (2) into
the R.O. pressure tube (3) until brine seal (1) touches end of R.O. pressure tube.

Place interconnector (4) on product water tube (5) of first R.O. element (2).
Remove second R.O. element from sealed plastic bag. Lubricate brine seal (10) with silicone grease from
storage chest.
Insert product water tube (6, figure 3-3) of the second R.O. element (7) into interconnector (4). Make sure that
the open end of the brine seal (10) is opposite the direction of water flow.
Slide both R.O. elements (2 and 7) and interconnector (4) into R.O. pressure tube (3) until they are centered in
the tube.
