Any one figure out a reasonable price replacement membrane?
$350 is not cheap when you can find it.

Looks good - I see that SCUBA uses these hoses. I can't find out the type of end fittings on the watermaker or their thread and pitch. Anyone know?

What I need is to get the high pressure brine water pipes connected together. I can get something cobbled together at the local hydraulics place but it will cost about $500 AUD. So I would rather do better than that for a 450mm long piece of hose.

The hose has to connect the two arrows (I think). Both ends are male fittings.

Any help is very welcome.

It would be nice to know what the thread size is for the PUR 80E fittings. I know the thread size that goes into the waternaker vessel is 1/4 NPT, but the other thread is not tapered and slightly larger. Anyone know the thread type that PUR use in the Powersurvivor 80?

I worked out that the force pushing out on the hose out of a 10mm hose will be about 80N, which is not much. I could use a barbed attachment and two hose clamps that would easily deal with the pressure.
