Product Water Components

The Product Water section provides a visual indicator for the clarity, quantity and quality of the Product Water.
Post-filtration is the final step in Product Water quality control. The Post-filtration Subsystem is designed to limit
unpleasant odor and taste, adjust the pH to neutral and sterilize biological matter (which may have passed through
the RO Membrane Element).

1. Product Water T-Connector

Combines the Product Water from two RO Membrane Elements.

2. Temperature Compensated Salinity Probe

Electronically determines whether the salinity content of the Product Water is acceptable. The Salinity Probe
is temperature-compensated and provides an accurate measurement of Product Water quality.

3. Product Water Flow Meter

Electronically measures the Product Water flow rate in gallons or liters per hour.

4. 3-Way Product Water Diversion Valve (Electric Solenoid Actuated)

This valve is energized (by the Controller) into the potable position when the System produces water that meets
the low salinity requirement. If the produced Product Water is un-potable (i.e., high in salinity), then no signal
is sent to the valve and it remains in the normal-open position. The “fail-safe,” normal-open position then diverts
the un-potable Product Water to discharge.

5. Charcoal Filter

Removes foul odors from the Product Water. Sulfurous odor (i.e., "rotten-egg smell") is caused when biological
matter dies and decays in the Feed Water section. Flushing the System with fresh water helps to minimize this
odor.

6. pH Neutralizer Filter

Dissolves calcium carbonate into the Product Water, thus bringing the pH level back to neutral (i.e., at
approximately pH 7).

Note: The pH value of pure water is pH 7, which is regarded as neutral. pH values from 0 to ~7 indicate
acidity, while pH values from 7.25 to 14 indicate alkalinity. The Product Water from your Aqua Matic RO
Desalination System will be slightly acidic because most of the naturally occurring, high-pH calcium
carbonate has been removed. The Product Water from your System will also be soft (for the same reason
mentioned above) at approximately 6.5 pH.

7. Ultra-Violet (UV) Sterilizer (optional)

Sterilizes at least 99.9% of viruses, bacteria and other micro-organisms that may pass through the RO Membrane
Element. The UV sterilizer is recommended if the Product Water Storage Tank is not chlorinated or treated in
another, similar manner. For additional information on obtaining this optional accessory, please contact Sea
Recovery Corporation.

8. Product Water Connector

Connects the Potable Water Un-pressurized Tank to the Product Water Hose.

Fresh Water System Components

The Fresh Water system represents the ship's Fresh Water Pressurized System. Pressurized Fresh Water is
required to supply the System Fresh Water Flush.

1. Potable Water Storage Tank

To be supplied by the System's Owner. This can be any container or existing storage tank that is suitable for
storing Potable Water.

2. Fresh Water Pressure Pump

To be supplied by the System's Owner. Delivers Fresh Water throughout the ship.

Important: To provide the required water flow to the System during the Fresh Water Flush cycle, the
pump must deliver up to 0.5 U.S. Gallons (1.9 Liters) per minute at 25 to 60 PSI (172 to 414 kPa).
