or potable water, is required for the freshwater rinse. These instructions also explain how to winterize the system.
One gallon (3.8 liters) of food-grade propylene glycol will be required to winterize the system.

1. Configure the system for a “

Once-Through Rinse.

”

2. Clean the Sea Strainer Mesh Screen.

3. Clean the Plankton Filter Element.

4. Clean (hose off) or replace the 25- and 5-micron prefilter elements with new 25- and 5-micron Horizon Reverse

Osmosis prefiltration elements.

5. Fill the Rinse/Clean Solution Container or a 5-gallon container with clean, fresh water.

6. Press the “START/STOP” switch. The freshwater rinses the system and discharges out through the thru-hull

discharge fitting.

7. Just prior to depleting the rinse water from the Rinse/Clean Solution Container, stop the system by pressing

the “START/STOP” switch.

8. If the system will NOT be exposed to freezing temperatures, reconfigure the suction line for normal operation.

If the system will be exposed to freezing temperatures during non-use, skip this step and go to step 9 below.

a) Leave the Sea Cock Valve closed.
b) Reconnect the Sea Strainer outlet line to the outlet of the Sea Strainer, or reposition the Inlet Clean Rinse

Valve to the normal operating position.

IN NON-FREEZING TEMPERATURES THE SYSTEM MAY NOW BE LEFT UNATTENDED FOR SEVERAL
WEEKS. A GUIDE WOULD BE 4 WEEKS IN WARM CLIMATES AND 8 WEEKS IN COLD CLIMATES.
HOWEVER, IF THE SYSTEM WILL BE EXPOSED TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES, CONTINUE WITH THE
FOLLOWING PROCEDURES:

9. If the system will be exposed to freezing temperatures during non-use of the system, configure the system for

a “Once-Through Depressurized Rinse” using the Product Relief Tube Kit

10. Again, fill the Rinse/Clean Solution Container or a 5-gallon bucket with 4 gallons (15 liters) of clean, freshwater.

Add 20% (1 gallon/3.8 liters) food-grade propylene glycol to the storage chemical solution. This prevents the
water in the system from freezing.

11. Press the “START/STOP” switch. The winterizing solution rinses the system and discharges out the waste.

12. Just prior to depleting the winterizing solution from the Rinse/Clean Solution Container, stop the system by

pressing the “START/STOP” switch twice (2 times) in order to stop the system as well as deactivate the freshwater
flush cycle. Ensure that the “freshwater flush” lamp is NOT illuminated.

13. Reconfigure the system for normal operation:

a) Leave the Sea Cock Valve closed.
b) Reconnect the Sea Strainer outlet line to the outlet of the Sea Strainer or reposition the Inlet Clean Rinse

Valve to the normal operating position.

c) Remove the Product Relief Tube Kit.
d) Reconnect the High-Pressure Hose.

14. The Sea Strainer and post-filtration chapter have not received winterizing solution in this process. The water

must be drained from the respective components.

a) Remove the Sea Strainer bowl from the Sea Strainer and drain the feed water from it. Replace the Sea

Strainer bowl back onto the Sea Strainer.

b) Remove the charcoal filter bowl from the charcoal filter and drain the product water from it. Replace the

charcoal filter bowl back onto the charcoal filter.

c) Remove the pH neutralizer filter bowl from the pH neutralizer filter and drain the product water from it.

Replace the pH neutralizer bowl back onto the pH neutralizer filter.
