INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (BELT DRIVEN) 

 
HIGH PRESSURE PUMP

  

 
To minimize vibration, it is best to build brackets on the motor itself, similar to alternator brackets.  Use 
cardboard to construct a pattern first before making these brackets. 

 

The high-pressure pump has a 

maximum RPM of 1750. 

The recommended working RPM is 1450.

  

Minimum RPM for ECHO Tec. watermaker models: 

  200 - 500: 

  900 RPM 

 

  600 - 900: 

1050 RPM 

 

1200 - 1500: 

1225 RPM 

 

The high-pressure pump can run on lower RPM.  This will decrease the specified production only.   

 

Position the high-pressure pump horizontal with the dipstick up. The pump can turn in either direction. 

 

Ensure  proper  pulley  diameter  on  your  engine.  The  electro  magnetic  clutch  has  a  pulley  diameter  of 

7”/177mm

 

To determine the proper motor pulley size, use the formula below as a guideline.

CAUTION:    RE-TIGHTEN  ALL  FASTENERS  AFTER  50  HOURS  OF  OPERATION  AND 
CHECK  FREQUENTLY  FOR  BELT  TENSION  AND  CHAFING  OF  HIGH-PRESSURE 
HOSES.   

 

A professional electrician should only do the electrical installation.   

 

Connect the 

+

wire of the magnetic clutch to the system switch on the control panel.   

Supply 12V DC to the switch.  This wire needs to be protected by a 10A fuse. 

 

When the batteries minus are connected to the main engine, an additional –wire is not necessary. 
Please seek professional advice when the main engine is isolated from the battery. 

 

Fill the pump with 7.5 oz. / 0.22 ltr. Of  SAE 90 non-detergent, non-toxic crankcase oil. 

 

MEMBRANE HOUSING

  

 

Mount  the  high-pressure  membrane  housing(s)  with  the  provided  brackets  vertical  (with  the  flow 
upwards) or horizontal in a convenient location away from the heat of the engine as close as possible to 
the high pressure pump. 

 

The  membrane  is  sealed  within  its  housing  by  plugs  at  both  ends.    Inside  is  a  small  amount  of 
preservative to keep the membrane moist and prevent bacterial growth.   

 

The efficiency of the preservative, under best conditions, is approximately one year.  

  

When  all  other  components  and  hoses/tubes  are  completely  assembled,  remove  the  caps  on  the  high-
pressure fittings and the sealed tube from the product water outlet on the membrane housing/s and then 
finish making all final hose/tube connections.  This will insure that the membrane is kept moist.
