❶
Start your generator and let it warm up, adjusting it until it’s running at a steady speed.
►►►
Never run your generator above
your maximum allowable generator
speed. It’s critical that the pressure
of the membrane remain constant;
because this is directly a
ff
ected by
your generator speed, do not vary the
generator RPM while running your
watermaker.
❷
When the generator has reached operating
temperature, turn the Sea Water valve to the
“Seawater Intake” position and turn the Fresh
Water valve to the “Flush Tank” position.
(See
Figure 1.)
❸
Place the hose labeled “To
fl
ush tank” into a clean
5 gallon bucket.
B
efore starting your watermaker:
• Oil, chlorine and other chemicals will do permanent damage to your watermaker
membrane. Always con
fi
rm that your feed water source is free of chemicals before
starting the system.
• If the watermaker has been in storage and this is the
fi
rst start-up since pickling the unit,
follow the normal start-up procedure, but discard all product water for the
fi
rst 15 - 20
minutes of operation to ensure that the biocide solution has been completely
fl
ushed
from the system. Ingestion of the solution will cause gastrointestinal issues.
My maximum allowable generator speed:
