R.O. MEMBRANE ELEMENT NOTES
CAUTION:
Some systems are shipped
WITHOUT
the reverse osmosis
membrane element. This is to accommodate boat builders that will install
the system well in advance of commissioning the boat and the system.
DOES THIS SYSTEM HAVE R.O. MEMBRANE(S)
INSTALLED OR NOT
?
If not, is it your intention to install the R.O. membrane(s) at this time, or do
you wish to install them at a later date when the boat is commissioned?
If the R.O. membrane element has been installed, there will be a R.O. membrane
element serial number tag attached to the high pressure vessel(s). Find this
serial number tag to ensure that the R.O. membrane element(s) have been
installed. If the R.O. membrane element serial number tag is missing or does
not contain a serial number, then the R.O. membranes are not installed. If the
R.O. membrane elements are not installed and you wish to install them at this
time, contact FCI Watermakers, Inc. and supply us with your original purchase
order number, FCI’s invoice number, and this system’s serial number.
WARNING:
If the reverse osmosis membrane element is not to be
installed at this time, ensure that you leave a visible note at the system
controller and the front of the control panel informing the end user that:
• The reverse osmosis membrane elements are not installed.
• Contact the factory for the R.O. membrane elements.
• DO NOT operate the system without the R.O. membrane elements installed.
• Extensive damage will occur if the system is operated
without the R.O. membrane elements installed.
Damage to the system caused by the operation of the system without
R.O. membrane elements installed:
• Is NOT covered by the FCI Watermakers, Inc. warranty.
• Is the liability of the installer if the installer did not notify the end user.
• Is the liability of the end user if the installer notified the end user
that the R.O. membranes were not installed and to not operate
the system without the R.O. membrane elements installed.
