1. Brine Discharge Tee Connector allows for the Brine Discharge Hose to connect to the Thru Hull Over Board
Discharge Fitting.
2. Thru Hull Discharge Fitting** should be installed above water level for discharge of the Brine Discharge Water
from the System.
Product Water and Post-Filtration Components
This section collects the product water as it exits the RO Membrane Element. The product water is tested for quality
at the salinity probe, enters a 3-Way Product Water Diversion Valve, and then is measured for flow. When the
Product Water Salinity decreases to the
“safe” level, it is then diverted into the Post Filtration components, which
are the final steps in Product Water quality control.
1. Product Water Manifold allows transfer of product water flow through the components attached to it.
2. Temperature Compensated Salinity Probe electronically determines whether the salinity content of the Product
Water has decreased to the “safe” level. This Salinity Probe retains an accurate reading throughout varying
temperature ranges.
3. 3-Way Product Water Diversion Valve, Electric Solenoid Actuated. The Salinity Controller energizes this valve
to the “Potable” position when the System produces water, which meets the low salinity requirement. If the
Product Water being produced is “un
-
potable” or high in salinity, then no signal i
s sent to the valve and it remains
in the normally open position. The “fail safe” normally open position diverts the un
-potable Product Water to
discharge through the Brine Discharge Tee Connector.
4. Flow Meter, Product Water measures the rate of Product Water flow in gallons per hour from the RO Membrane
Element.
5. Charcoal Filter is designed to remove foul odors from the Product Water. Sulfurous smell (rotten egg smell) is
caused by decaying biological matter in the Feed Water. Fresh water flushing of the System helps to minimize
the source of this odor.
6. pH Neutralizer Filter*** The Product Water produced by Reverse Osmosis is slightly acidic. The pH Neutralizer
Filter neutralizes the pH of the Product Water.
7. UV Sterilizer*** sterilizes up to 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 treated
by chlorination, etc.
8. Potable Water Storage Tank Tube Connector is used to connect the Systems Potable Product Water output to
the Potable Water Storage Tank.
9. Potable Water Storage Tank** may be any container suitable for storing Potable Water.
Fresh Water Flush and RO Membrane Element Cleaning
The Fresh Water Flush rinses the high salinity Feed Water from the System with Fresh Water. This process is
automatic at each shut down of the System and repeats automatically every 7 days. Fresh Water Flushing replaces
the seawater in the System with less corrosive fresh water. This reduces the biological growth that naturally
occurs if the Feed Water (sea water) is left to stand in the System. Optional, manually operated valves are also
available for ease of rinsing and cleaning the RO Membrane Element.
1. Fresh Water Flush Solenoid Valve, included with the Filter Skid Assembly. The Fresh Water Flush Solenoid
Valve draws fresh water from the Potable Water Storage Tank and allow the boats supply pump push the
water, at 30-55 PSI, through the Fresh Water Flush Charcoal Filter and into the rest of the System.
2. Fresh Water Flush Carbon Filter, included with the Fresh Water Flush Assembly. The Carbon Filter removes
particulate matter and chlorine from the fresh water to prevent chlorine attack to the RO Membrane Element.
3. Fresh Water Flush Check Valve, included with the Fresh Water Flush Assembly. The Check Valve routes the
fresh water to the System and prevents the fresh water from expelling out the Inlet Thru Hull Fitting.
4. Inlet Rinse Clean Valve*** used in conjunction with the Discharge Rinse Clean Valve simplifies the storage and
cleaning procedures by allowing the operator to turn a valve rather than disconnect a hose. Also used for a
manual fresh water flush if the Automatic Fresh Water Flush System is not installed.
5. Discharge Rinse Clean Valve*** used in conjunction with the Inlet Rinse Clean Valve simplifies the storage and
cleaning procedures by allowing the operator to turn a valve rather than disconnect a hose.
6. Rinse/Clean Solution Container** used to hold rinse water, storage solution, winterization solution, or cleaning
solution may be any 5 gallon or larger container (portable or permanently installed).
