D. TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION:
1. Of course, not all installations are typical. For this
reason, it is recommended to have a full set of
mechanic’s electrician’s tools available. However, no
special system tools are required for installation.
Though not always necessary, a separate DS Meter,
available from HRO Systems, and a volt/ohm meter
(VOM) are beneficial and useful tools for system
installation and initial start-up.
E. 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
WATER 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 pre-
filter 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 and viewing.
F. 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 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 backpressure 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.
