Disconnect the outlet line from the Sea Strainer and place it in the Rinse/Clean Solution Container.

If the System is equipped with an Optional Inlet Rinse/Clean Valve between the Sea Strainer and Feed
Pump, then position this valve to draw from the Rinse/Clean Solution Container.

3. Configure the brine discharge line for a once-through process.

a) Connect the brine discharge line from the system to the thru-hull overboard discharge fitting. This is the

normal connection for normal operation.

b) If the System is equipped with an Optional Discharge Rinse/Clean Outlet Valve, position this valve to

discharge through the Brine Discharge Connector. This is the normal connection for normal operation.

RO Membrane Element Cleaning Closed Loop

When the instructions within this chapter state “configure for RO Membrane Element Cleaning Closed Loop,”

proceed as follows.

1. In order to relieve pressure during the closed loop process, the Product Relief Tube Kit must be installed.

Disconnect only one end of the High-Pressure Hose MVA Outlet/R.O. Boost Return either from the RO
Membrane/Vessel Assembly Outlet (brine discharge end) or from the R.O. BOOST (whichever is easier to access).

Connect the Product Relief Tube Kit to the loose end of the High-Pressure Hose and to the exposed fitting
on the RO Membrane/Vessel Assembly Outlet or the R.O. BOOST (whichever fitting the High-Pressure Hose
was disconnected from).

Route the 3-inch O.D. Tube from the Pressure Relief Tube Kit into the Rinse/Clean Solution Container or
bucket.

2. Configure the suction line for a closed loop process.

Close the Sea Cock Valve.

Disconnect the outlet line from the Sea Strainer and place it in the Rinse/Clean Solution Container.

If the system is equipped with an Optional Inlet Rinse/Clean Valve between the Sea Strainer and Feed
Pump, then position this valve to draw from the Rinse/Clean Solution Container.

3. Configure the brine discharge line for a closed loop process.

Disconnect the brine discharge line from the thru-hull overboard discharge fitting and place it in the
Rinse/Clean Solution Container.

If the system is equipped with an Optional Discharge Clean/Rinse 3-way Ball Valve, position this valve to
return to the Rinse/Clean Solution Container.

Short-Term Shutdown

A short-term shutdown is defined as a period of time in which the system is not utilized for up to four weeks. An
effective short-term protection for the system and RO Membrane Element is a freshwater rinse of the entire system
with freshwater (product water from the system). This prolongs the system life by minimizing electrolysis and
retarding biological growth.

Important: If the system is equipped with an automatic freshwater flush, then it is not necessary to read this
chapter. The Automated Freshwater Flush rinses the system every 7 days automatically. However, see

“Winterizing and Freezing” note below.

Important: If the system is exposed to freezing temperatures, perform a manual freshwater rinse as described
below, and follow the included winterizing instructions.

Manual Fresh Water Rinse Procedure

Follow the directions below if the system is not equipped with an Automated Freshwater Flush System or if the
system will be subjected to freezing temperatures during non-use. This procedure displaces the system feed water

with fresh water and allows a short-term shutdown for up to four weeks. Five gallons (19 liters) of fresh product,
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.
