FCI WATERMAKERS, INC. 18 Pre-Installation
2/ PRE-INSTALLATION
The FCI Watermakers system is supplied with an installation kit which
includes an assortment of hoses needed to install the system. Because of the
various options with regard to location, voltage and optional accessories, wire
is not provided with the system and some installations will require additional
hose. Please contact your local dealer for these supplies. Be sure to follow
all local codes when installing your new FCI watermaking system.
Always use genuine FCI approved parts to ensure proper operation of your watermaker.
The high‑pressure pump ships with oil and is ready to run. Should you need to add oil,
be sure NOT to over fill the pump. With the oil fill plug removed, oil will not be visible
through the opening—this is normal. The correct level is the middle of the sight glass.
