Installation
System and Component Mounting
The following instructions discuss the placement and mounting of the Ultra Whisper Compact and Modular system
components. If an optional accessory has not been included in your system, then please ignore that step and move
to the next.
Caution: Mounting surfaces must be flat in order to avoid warping of brackets and frames. Use appropriate
shims on uneven surfaces to ensure that mounting of the system components does not cause bending or
warping, and subsequent leaking or breakage. Damage to any system component due to attachment to
uneven surfaces is the responsibility and liability of the installer and is not covered by the Sea Recovery
Warranty.

ATTACHMENT: All individual components are supplied with common mounting hardware. Some installations
may require different hardware than what has been supplied.

SUPPLIED HOSE AND TUBE LENGTHS: When planning out the location and mounting of the system and
related components, give consideration to the length of hose and tube supplied with the system.
1. Attach the supplied Feed Water Connector Assembly, 1/2
“FNPT
elbow with attached 5/8
” hose barb, to the
boat’s Sea
Cock 1/4 turn ball Valve. Position the Outlet Hose Barb toward the Sea Strainer Inlet.
2. Attach the supplied Brine Discharge Tee Connector Assembly, 1/2
“FNPT
elbow with attached 3/8
” Tube Fitting
to the boat’s overboard discharge fitting. Position the Inle
t Tube Fitting toward the System Brine Discharge.
3.
Attach the supplied Potable Water Storage Tank Tube Connector 1/4” MNPT x 1/4” Tube Fitting to the 1/4”
FNPT tap at the Potable Water Tank. The product water line may also be attached to the potable water storage
tank fill line rather than drilling and tapping into the top of the tank itself.
Caution: Do not use water tank diversion valves in this line to fill more than one tank. If it is absolutely
necessary to use a diversion valve to fill more than one t
ank, use only a “never
-
closed”
-type ball valve,
which allows water to flow regardless of the valve handle position. If a valve in this line is closed during
operation, extensive damage to the system will occur. Damage caused to the system due to installation
of valves in the product water line is the responsibility and liability of the installer and is not covered by
the Sea Recovery Warranty.
4. The Sea Strainer is mounted in an accessible location below water level between the Inlet Sea Cock Valve and
Feed Pump. Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance below the bowl to access the mesh screen for cleaning
or replacement.
5. The ***Inlet Rinse Clean Valve is mounted in an accessible location below water level between the Sea Strainer
Outlet and the ***Fresh Water Flush Check Valve Inlet if used, otherwise the Feed Pump Inlet.
6. The Feed Pump is mounted at or below water level to assist the pump in priming. Mount the Feed Pump
between the Sea Strainer Outlet and the ***Plankton Filter Inlet if used, otherwise the Pre-Filter Inlet. It is best
to mount the Feed Pump below water level to assist priming and in an accessible location to allow access for
maintenance.
Caution: Do not mount the pump head vertically above the motor, as motor damage will occur if the
pump or its fittings should develop a leak. Eventually, the pump seal will wear and leak from use requiring
replacement. Water damage to the motor, if mounted improperly, is the responsibility and liability of the
installer and not covered by Sea Recovery Warranty
