loss from the Booster Pump causes shorter
Pre-filter Element life.
Keep the distance from the Sea Cock valve to
the High Pressure Pump as short and straight
as possible.
Non-Standard applications may require a
larger booster pump. This is determined best
by the installer prior to system purchase.
2. Brine Dump Tubing from the System to the
Brine Discharge Outlet Fitting [36]:
20 feet of 1/2" OD (15 meters of 12.7 mm
OD) tubing is supplied to connect the Brine
Discharge Line components.
Ensure that no back pressure is present on this
line as backpressure causes bypassing at the
3-way product water diversion valve.
3. Product water tubing from the Product Water
outlet connection to the Product Water Storage
Tank Inlet [46]:
50 feet of 3/8" OD (15 meters of 9.5 mm OD)
tubing is supplied for this purpose.
Keep the product water tubing as straight and
short as possible.
CAUTION : Do Not Install Any Valves in
this line. Blockage of the Product Water
Line causes extensive damage to the
System and the R.O. Membrane Element.
4.1.7 UNCRATING
CAUTION : Do not disgard any
packaging material until you have found
and identified all parts!
Remove the Horizon Seafari system from the
shipping crate.
Some of the components are loose or
separately packaged in the shipping container.
Do Not
discard any packaging or boxes as
they may contain small mounting hardware
pieces or small system components.
4.1.5 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Length of connection lines
• All connection lines should be as short as
possible. Increased length causes line-loss
from the system.
• The connection lines must be as straight as
possible with minimum number of fittings.
2.
Placement and routing of the feed line
• Always plumb the line so that all air may
naturally bleed from the feed water line.
(Excessive bends and elbows in the Feed
Line results in pressure loss)
• Pressure losses cause inefficiency and
shorter prefilter life.
3.
System feed inlet
• Must be in constant contact with
the feed water.
• The Horizon Seafari system must
receive an uninterrupted supply of
air free feed water.
• The Inlet Thru Hull Fitting should be
dedicated for only the Horizon Seafari
R.O. System.
• DO NOT use one Thru Hull Fitting for
several auxiliary systems.
4. Access for maintenance
• Give careful consideration to access to
items for maintenance purposes.
• Hidden or out of reach items may become
forgotten and cause damage to other
system components.
5.
The Control Panel
• Must be accessible for operation & viewing.
4.1.6 DISTANCE BETWEEN COMPONENTS
1. Inlet Sea Cock Valve [2] through the Pre-
filtration and into the inlet of the High
Pressure Pump:
12.5 feet of ¾” I.D. (3.8 meters of 19 mm ID)
flexible rigid wall tubing is supplied for the
plumbing of the feed water line from the Inlet
Sea Cock to the Inlet of the High Pressure
Pump.
Caution must be exercised in extending the
length of the feed water line. Feed pressure
