and then operating the system using product water feed
into the system for a continuous 48 hour period. The R.O.
membrane element must remain wet at all times.
BIOLOGICAL FOULING: Protect the R.O. membrane
element from biological fouling. Production loss occurs if
the element becomes fouled by biological slimes. Some,
but not all, production may be restored after cleaning.
CHEMICAL FOULING: Never expose the R.O. membrane
Element to chemicals other than those supplied by SRC.
Use caution when operating the system in harbors that
may be polluted with chemicals, oil, or fuel. Chemicals
may damage the R.O. membrane element beyond repair.
WARNING
: NEVER USE THIRD
PARTY CHEMICALS, ONLY USE SEA
RECOVERY SUPPLIED CHEMICALS.
Third party chemicals are not compatible
with various materials used in the Sea
Recovery System. Copolymer parts
within the Sea Recovery System will
be dissolved by third party chemicals.
Third party chemicals will destroy the
Sea Recovery R.O. membrane element.
Damage to the Sea Recovery System or
components within the System are not
covered by the Sea Recovery Warranty.
STORAGE: The dark and moist interior of a membrane
element is an excellent breeding ground for
microorganisms. Simply operating the system does not
protect the R.O. membrane element from production loss
due to biological fouling. During short-term shutdowns,
the system must be rinsed as explained in the following
pages. During long-term shutdowns, the system must be
rinsed as well as chemically treated.
NEW SYSTEM STORAGE: If the R.O. membrane elements
are installed in the System and if the System will not
be installed and commissioned within a 3 months from
receipt refer to the procedures for either Short Term or
Long Term storage.
Illustrations on Page 7-7 - figure 7a, show the flow of
water in a Once-Through-Rinse operation and in a Closed
Loop operation. These illustrations may be referred to
during the Rinse, Clean, and Storage procedures.
The illustration on Page 7-8 - figure 7c demonstrates a
simplified Once Through Configuration
This is used to Rinse the System with Fresh Water, to
Winterize the System, and also to Discharge the contents
of the cleaning solution bucket.
B. MANUAL MODE
1. Rotate the Back Pressure Regulator counter-
clockwise to decrease operating pressure to
0 psi (0 bar).
2. From the Manual Mode screen, touch the Diversion
Valve button to de-activate the 3-way valve and
de-energize the UV Sterilizer.
3. Touch the HP Pump STOP button.
4. Touch the Booster Pump STOP button.
If installed, the Automated Fresh Water Flush will
NOT activate automatically. In order to perform a
manual Fresh Water Flush follow the directions in
Section 7.3:
BOAT SAFETY WARNING : The Inlet
Thru-Hull Sea Cock Valve is in the Open
position. It is recommended for the safety
of the boat to close the Sea Cock Valve
when ever the System is not in use. This
will protect the boat from water flooding
should a hose or component fail.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION WARNING :
If the Automatic Fresh Water Flush option
is installed and if the System Control
Logic has been set to perform Automatic
Fresh Water Flushing, the Touch Screen
will show the operator when this
automatic cycle will be performed.
7.2 SYSTEM STORAGE AND CLEANING
R.O. MEMBRANE ELEMENT HANDLING AND SYSTEM
STORAGE CAUTIONS:
TEMPERATURE: Never store the R.O. membrane element
or Membrane/Vessel Assembly in direct sunlight. Never
expose the R.O. membrane element or Membrane/Vessel
Assembly to storage temperatures above 120° F (50°
C) or below 32° F (0° C). High temperatures cause up to
40% loss of production from the R.O. membrane element.
This damage is irreversible. Freezing temperatures
cause mechanical damage to the system and irreversible
damage to the R.O. membrane element.
DRYING OUT: Never allow the R.O. membrane element
to dry out, as 40% production loss occurs. This
membrane damage may be irreversible. Some, but not
all, production may be restored by saturating the R.O.
membrane element in product water for several days
