Default Quick RODI membrane question

Anyone know if the membrane on the 100 gpd BRS RODI system can be replaced with any other model other than the GE Osmonics TLF-100? I can't seem to find an exact replacement model in Canada.

You can call and confirm with BRS, but as far as I know RO membranes of this size are interchangeable amongst brands. I have a non BRS system and use their RO membranes which would suggest you could go the other way. You will need to change your flow restrictor if you change to a different GPD rating though,

I have had a Kent RODI system for 12 years now and I have never replaced the membrane using Kent membrane. I have always used what ever membrane OA or J&L had available. You do have match whatever membrane you buy to the correct flow restrictor. Mt Kent system was originally a 75 GPH system. My current membrane is rated for 100 GPH with the correct flow restrictor.
