hodorskib's Small Scale RO Build

[seanmacc]

I have a question about membrane storage. I know that they can't freeze and I don't have a heated sugar house so I'm trying to think of options. I've built a system with three 400gpd membranes and one thought I has is can I remove the membranes from the housings and place them in a plastic bag and put them in my refrigerator to keep them cool and moist and just leave the rest of the system at the sugar house or do I need to bring the whole thing in? I can do that but I'm just wondering about options.

DaveB,

This is how I built mine (video below)- It's strapped on to a small hand dolly. I don't remove the membranes. I store mine in our mudroom which stays at around 43 degrees and make sure that I perform the 20-30 gallon permeate cleaning before and after processing. Last year, I wheeled it into the house each night and left it by the door.
