Flush your domestic reverse osmosis membrane.

To flush a domestic Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane, you allow water to flow across the membrane at a higher rate to wash away trapped salts, dirt, and contaminants. This helps extend membrane life and maintain good water quality.
Basic RO Membrane Flushing Process:

  • 1. Open the Flush Valve
    Most domestic RO systems have:
    A manual flush valve, or an automatic flush valve.
    The flush valve is normally located on the membrane housing waste line.
  • 2. Let Water Run to Drain
    Open the flush valve fully and allow water to run to the drain for:
  • – 2–5 minutes for normal flushing,
  • – Up to 10 minutes if the system has been unused for a long period.
  • During flushing:
  • Water flow to drain increases.
  • Pressure across the membrane reduces.
  • Contaminants are washed away.
  • 3. Close the Flush Valve.
