A remote panel is located near the DC
switchboard (see figure above).
The master panel is located on the unit itself.
The usual operating procedure for desalinator
as follows:
Turn ON the AC circuit breaker labelled
‘Water Maker’ on the AC switchboard.
Press the Start switch on either control panel.
Adjust the pressure to 58 bar using the
adjusting handle. This pressure will need to be
adjusted for optimum flow due to variations in
sea water temperature as this will affect the
pressure out from the high-pressure pump.
Do not operate the system above this pressure
as damage to the membranes could result.
The system will shut down if the pressure
exceeds 75 bar.
Operating at pressures below 58 bar will reduce
the output of the potable product as well as the
quality. An indicator is provided on the master
control panel: green indicates good quality;
red indicates undrinkable water. If the quality
of the water is below acceptable limits, it is
diverted overboard to protect the integrity of
the water in the water tanks.
To stop the system:
Press the Stop switch on either panel.
The system will now enter Fresh Water Flush
mode. This takes a small amount of fresh
water from the water tanks and force-flushes
any salt build-up on the membranes. This
takes approximately three minutes. AC power
should be left on when the boat is in the marina
and unattended for any length of time as
the unit will auto-flush the membranes every
seven days; this prevents them from drying
out—the most common cause of membrane
failure.
Note : If the craft is left unattended for extended
periods and it is desired to take advantage of the
automatic membrane flush built into the system,
the following is necessary:
The DC circuit breaker marked ‘Freshwater’
must be left turned ON to provide water
pressure for the fresh water flush. The battery
isolation switch on the Battery panel must be
left ON.
The AC circuit breaker marked ‘Water Maker’
must be left ON and the boat connected to
AC shore power.
You are urged to read the supplied
manual fully before using this device.
