Tucker Stainless Steel 21" RO Membrane Housing Upgrade Kit

What it is

The Tucker 20001-e-ugk Stainless Steel RO Membrane Housing Upgrade is a cart upgrade kit that lets you use new 21" RO membranes in your EZ Pure / Ettore Aqua Clean caddy. The caddy's original PVC RO housing is no longer available, and this stainless steel housing replaces it. A new RO membrane is included with purchase.

The 21" membrane

Tucker's 21" RO membranes, sold separately as the Max-Flow 4" x 21" RO Membrane, are designed to operate at extremely low operating pressures. Consider replacing the membrane once it removes less than 80% of the impurities in your water: the fewer impurities the RO removes, the more you spend on DI filter replacements.

Installing it

Water-resistant lubricant may be required to install the membrane; the Lubricant Packet is sold separately. Tucker's manuals say the white nipples on each end of a membrane will likely need lubricating to seat into the housing O-rings, and the membrane's white O-ring goes at the top end of the housing. Clamps for the housing are sold separately.

Keeping it wet

Keep the new membrane wet. Tucker's manuals say an RO membrane should never be allowed to dry or collect stagnant water and should be run at least every two weeks, even off-season. For long storage, RO Preserve protects it.

Matching upgrade

The matching Stainless Steel Carbon/DI Filter Housing Upgrade converts the caddy's carbon and DI stages to new 21" filters.

Tucker® is the water-fed pole and brush line of Reach Higher Ground (RHG), the Castle Rock, Colorado company that window cleaner Shawn Gavin founded in 2006 to build better pure-water equipment. RHG built its first spot-free system in 2007 and acquired Tucker® in 2015, and today designs, assembles and supports the whole range from its Colorado facility: RO/DI carts and tank systems, carbon fiber and hybrid poles, water-fed brushes and the accessories that tie them together.

The RO housing upgrade pairs with the Stainless Steel Carbon/DI Filter Housing Upgrade for the same caddy. Replacement membranes are the Max-Flow 4" x 21" RO Membrane, and the Lubricant Packet and RO Preserve cover installation and storage.
