2. Clean salt water or salt deposits from the System with a damp cloth.

Operator Maintenance Intervals
Maintenance frequency varies from case-to-case and depends on the following factors:
• How often the System is used
• Intake water condition
• How long the System has been exposed to water
• Total running time
• The manner in which the system is installed or operated
Due to the variable factors listed above, the recommended maintenance timetable is based on
estimated time
intervals and may differ based on your individual System. Although the maintenance timetable is based on factual
data compiled from actual Aqua Matic XL installations, this schedule should be adjusted to your individual System.
Important: Components, spares, and consumables utilized within the System are specific to Sea Recovery
Corporation specifications and are not commercially available from other sources. Other Components utilized
within the System are modified by Sea Recovery Corporation for the specific purpose of compatibility and
are not commercially available from other sources. Many of these special components may appear similar
to Sea Recovery components; however,
extensive
and
expensive
damage to the Aqua Matic XL will occur
if incompatible components are used. Please refer to the third-party parts warning below for additional
information.
Third-Party Parts Warning
The major documented cause of failures and problems are from the use of third-party, non-Sea Recovery parts;
improper installation; and improper operation. Do not use parts, components from any source other than Sea
Recovery! The use of third-party, non-Sea Recovery parts is
strongly discouraged
and will result in the following
consequences:
• The use of third-party, non-Sea Recovery components, spares and assemblies will damage the Sea Recovery
System and/or specific components within the System.
• The use of third-party, non-Sea Recovery components, spares and assemblies will void any and all warranty of
the System and/or void the affected component within the System.
Important:
Sea Recovery Corporation maintains inventory for immediate shipment and our Service Dealers
throughout the world maintain stock of Sea Recovery parts. Always insist on Sea Recovery supplied parts
in order to avoid failures, eliminate problems, and maintain your warranty.
Component Maintenance and Repair
Inlet Thru Hull Fitting
•
To be supplied by the System's Owner.
• Keep the Inlet Thru Hull Fitting free and clear of debris and marine growth. A clogged Inlet Thru Hull Fitting results
in a low feed pressure condition, which causes System shut off.
• The Inlet Thru Hull Fitting must be clear of blockages in order to allow the System to draw 4.5 U.S. Gallons (17
Liters) of Feed Water per minute. Blockages at the Inlet Thru Hull Fitting will cause low pressure and low flow
problems.
• The Installer must utilize a forward-facing scoop, so that the system receives positive water flow when the ship
is moving. The fitting must be installed on the ship's hull, in a position that provides a continuous, air-free supply
of Feed Water.
