Just leave it in unless the system is going unused for an extended period of time (a month or more perhaps).
It's all about keeping the membrane from drying out. Generally RO systems remain full of water (unless you drain them down), so the membrane won't dry out. Even if you do drain them down, the membrane remains in that sealed canister, so the only evaporation takes place out of those tiny hoses... that will take a long time.
