Reassembly:
Before you begin reassembly of the watermaker, clean all parts using clean,
lint-free rags. At this time, all parts should be carefully inspected for wear or damage. Use a 10x
magnifier or loupe to examine the seals, o-rings and other small parts. Stubborn rust stains and
deposits on metal parts may be cleaned with a soft-metal wire brush (e.g., stainless steel or
brass). Do
not
use polishes, cleaning compounds containing abrasive materials, or regular steel
wire brushes. Refer to the exploded drawing of the pump in
Figure A-2
in the
Appendix
for the location of parts and seals during reassembly. Refer to
Figures A-3
and
A-4
in
the
Appendix
for full-size drawings and identification of the components included in the
Repair Seal Kit
. In the following procedure, references to the
Repair Seal Kit
will be
abbreviated to “
RSK.”
It will be assumed that all o-rings, seals, and mating surfaces
have been lightly lubricated with non-petroleum silicon grease (supplied with the
RSK
).
Warning:
Use only non-petroleum silicon grease to lubricate your watermaker. Lubricants
with a petroleum base will damage several watermaker components, including the reverse
osmosis membrane. Be especially cautious of lubricants that “contain” teflon, silicon, etc.—
such products could also contain petroleum-based components. An ample supply of silicon
grease is included with each
RSK
.
1.
Refer to
Figure R-5
during the following procedure. Place the piston assembly on a flat,
stable surface with the shaft pointing up. Slide the installation tool (provided in the
RSK
)
over the piston shaft with the wide end down. Lubricate the new PIP ring, cup seal and the
installation tool with silicon grease. With the grooved side facing up, slide the PIP ring down
the installation tool and onto the piston. Repeat this process for the cup seal. Note that the
grooved side of the cup
seal should be facing
down; i.e., the grooved
sides of the PIP ring and
the cup seal should be
facing each other. When
finished with the
installation, remove the
installation tool from the
piston shaft.
2.
To install the check valve
components, refer to
Figure R-3
. Locate the
two new check valve
seats in the
RSK
.
Observe that the hole in
the center of each valve seat has a beveled edge on one side. Use your finger to press a
valve seat into the bore for the reject check valve assembly. The seat should be pressed all
the way in, with the beveled side of the valve facing outward (that is, against the end of your
finger). Use the same technique to install the other valve seat in the bore for the intake
check valve assembly. It too should be installed with the beveled edge of the valve seat
facing outward, or against your finger.
