Installation
System and Component Mounting
The following instructions discuss the placement and mounting of the Seafari Escape Compact and
Modular system components. If an optional accessory has not been included in your system, then
please ignore that step and move to the next.
Caution: Mounting surfaces must be flat in order to avoid warping of brackets and frames.
Use appropriate shims on uneven surfaces to ensure that mounting of the system components
does not cause bending or warping, and subsequent leaking or breakage. Damage to any
system component due to attachment to uneven surfaces is the responsibility and liability of
the installer and is not covered by the Horizon Reverse Osmosis Warranty.
• ATTACHMENT: All individual components are supplied with common mounting hardware. Some
installations may require different hardware than what has been supplied.
• SUPPLIED HOSE AND TUBE LENGTHS: When planning out the location and mounting of the
system and related components, give consideration to the length of hose and tube supplied with the
system.
1. Attach the supplied Feed Water Connector Assembly, 1/2 “ FNPT elbow with attached 1/2” hose
barb, to the boat’s Sea Cock 1/4 turn ball Valve. Position the Outlet Hose Barb toward the Sea
Strainer Inlet.
2. Attach the supplied Brine Discharge Tee Connector Assembly, 1/2 “ FNPT elbow with attached
1/4” Tube Fitting to the boat’s overboard discharge fitting. Position the Inlet Tube Fitting toward the
System Brine Discharge.
3. Attach the supplied Potable Water Storage Tank Tube Connector 1/4” MNPT x 1/4” Tube Fitting
to the 1/4” FNPT tap at the Potable Water Tank. The product water line may also be attached to
the potable water storage tank fill line rather than drilling and tapping into the top of the tank itself.
Caution: Do not use water tank diversion valves in this line to fill more than one tank. If
it is absolutely necessary to use a diversion valve to fill more than one tank, use only a
“never-closed”-type ball valve, which allows water to flow regardless of the valve handle
position. If a valve in this line is closed during operation, extensive damage to the system
will occur. Damage caused to the system due to installation of valves in the product water
line is the responsibility and liability of the installer and is not covered by the Horizon
Reverse Osmosis Warranty.
4. The Sea Strainer is mounted in an accessible location below water level between the Inlet Sea
Cock Valve and Booster Pump. Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance below the bowl to
access the mesh screen for cleaning or replacement.
