SYSTEM OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The reverse osmosis membrane contains a preservative solution to prevent microbiological growth. If
ingested, may cause irritation of the gastro-intestinal tract, Colic, diarrhea, or other similar symptoms.
Therefore, discard all the product water for at least thirty minutes of initial operation, after storage before
drinking or before use in food preparations!
Do not operate the system using contaminated feed water sources (oil, chlorine or other chemicals).
Have you filled the high-pressure pump with the proper amount of oil (0.22ltr/7.5oz SAE90 gearbox oil)?
Check center of show glass or dipstick.
1)
Open the seawater intake valve (sea cock).
2)
Open the pressure control valve, on the control panel, all the way counter-clockwise (two full rounds
after the spring releases).
Caution: Never start the system with the high-pressure control valve closed.
3)
Set the cleaning/storage valve to the pre filter position.
If the optional nylon tee with flush/storage valve is supplied, switch it to the
center (closed) position.
4)
Set the diverter valve to sample position.
5)
Start the engine.
6)
Switch on the boost pump (optional) and the electro magnetic clutch.
7)
Flush the air out of the system.
Check the brine discharge at the output location.
Caution: Never allow any leaks in your hose or tube connections.
Caution: Do not attempt to re-seal the stainless steel product water outlet fitting on the membrane
vessel end cap by further tightening, as this could crack the plug.
Remove the fitting, apply new Teflon tape, insert the fitting and hand tighten plus ¼ turn.
8)
Increase the RPM of your engine and run the high pressure pump preferably at 1450RPM.
9)
Close the pressure control valve slowly clockwise to allow air bubbles to work themselves out of the
system.
10)
Adjust the water pressure to 800 psi on the pressure gauge in the control panel. If you operate the
watermaker in brackish or lake water adjust the working pressure not to exceed the specified product
water rate.
11)
Taste the product water at your sample station or check the quality with the optional
TDS meter. If the water is pure, switch the diverter valve to fill your storage tank.
SYSTEM SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
1)
Switch the diverter valve to sample station.
2)
Open the pressure control valve all the way counter-clockwise.
3)
Switch off the electro magnetic clutch and the boost pump (if installed).
4)
