I bought a new membrane to have as a spare. Because it was a different brand than the one that was installed, I wanted to test it out to make sure it would work. I installed it and it worked fine. I stored the original membrane in the equipment room.It was working perfectly. Fast forward 5 years later, I installed the original membrane back in the machine. Well, now I can't get hardly any flow through the membrane! Do membrane's age, and oxidize when exposed to air. I didn't leave it in the machine, but I wonder if a membrane was to soak for an extended period, would it "open" back up. I could have stored it in the R.o water tank, under water. I wonder if that is what you should do.
Has anybody experienced this? Is the membrane toast?
