Manual Rinsing
There is a valve next to the prefilter. This valve is connected to the freshwater tank of the
boat. When turned, it will automatically start the boat’s freshwater system and send fresh
water from the tank to the watermaker.
1. Do not put the watermaker on "ON"; leave it in its "OFF" position.
2. Turn the pressure regulator all the way in the counterclockwise direction.
3. Turn the fresh water inlet valve, located next to the prefilter, for 2 minutes. The boat
pump will start and fresh water will flow into the watermaker.
Automatic Rinsing

Stopping the watermaker: with automatic rinsing of the membranes
”
3) Sterilizing the membranes
When should the membranes be sterilized?
Under normal circumstances, a monthly and regular rinsing of the membranes is enough for
their maintenance. If you do no use the watermaker for a while and cannot perform a monthly
rinsing, membrane sterilization is necessary. The protective effect of sterilizing does not
exceed 6 months. The sterilization should never be renewed more than twice a year but
should include, between these two operations, a mandatory rinse with fresh water.
An excessive concentration of sterilizing solution can corrode the membrane heads.
We recommend the sterilizing cartridge ST2 and our specified dose of sterilizing
solution, adapted to your system. Failure to comply with these recommendations or
use of another sterilizing solution void the warranty.
