New System Start - Up and Testing
Use this procedure when starting a new watermaker for the first time and whenever the
system contains preservative or cleaning chemicals.
Avoid running the system if the vessel is in contaminated water, such as a dirty harbor or
canal. The system should be fully run tested before leaving on an extended journey. It is
preferable to sacrifice a pre
- filter by testing the system briefly in turbid water rather than
waiting to get offshore to discover a problem or deficiency in the installation. If the location or
weather prevents proper testing refer to the section Dry Testing with an Artificial Ocean.
