  • Interconnector: 40000308
  • Brine Seal: 40000309
• All UE8040 elements fit nominal 8.0 inch (201 mm) I.D. pressure vessels.

Handling and Storage Guidelines

• Elements must be kept dry at room temperature (7–32 °C; 40–95 °F) and should not be stored in direct sunlight.
• If the polyethylene bag is damaged, a new preservative solution (sodium bisulfite) must be added and air-tight sealed to prevent drying and biological growth.
• Permeate from the first hour of operation should be discarded to flush out the preservative solution.
• Elements should be immersed in a preservative solution during storage, shipping, and system shutdowns to prevent biological growth and freezing.
  • Standard storage solution: 1% by weight sodium bisulfite or sodium metabisulfite (food grade).
  • For short term storage (one week or less): 1% by weight sodium metabisulfite solution is adequate.
• Keep elements moist at all times after initial wetting.
• Avoid excessive pressure and flow spikes.
• Only use chemicals compatible with the membrane elements and components. Use of incompatible chemicals may void the element limited warranty.
• Permeate pressure must always be equal to or less than the feed/concentrate pressure. Damage caused by permeate back pressure voids the element limited warranty.
