❶
When your tanks are full or you are
fi
nished making water, slowly turn the Pressure Adjustment
Needle Valve counterclockwise. The pressure on the gauge above should decrease to zero PSI and
the product water should stop
fl
owing.
❷
Turn the Fresh Water valve to the “Flush tank” position (valve should be horizontal), so that it’s ready
for the next time you make water.
❸
Put the hose labeled “Flush water intake” into the bucket of product water (set aside during start-up)
and turn the Sea Water valve to the “Flush water intake” position (valve should be horizontal).
❹
Turn o
ff
the Seawater Lift Pump using the switch on the panel labeled “Seawater Lift Pump.”
❺
The water will
fl
ow from the bucket back through the system; let it run until the bucket is almost
empty.
❻
Turn o
ff
the High Pressure Pump using the switch on the panel labeled “H.P. Clutch.”
►►►
Do not let the pump run dry for more than a few seconds as this will damage your system.
Upon shut down, organic matter will remain in the system, which will cause microorganisms
to grow that can clog/damage your membrane. Flushing the system with product water after
shut down eliminates most organic matter and keeps your membrane clean.
►►►
If your watermaker will be inactive for more than 7 days, the membrane must be
pickled (see “Long Term Storage”).
