System Daily Operation
Day-to-Day Start-up Procedures for the Ultra Whisper System
1. Open any auxiliary valve within the incoming feed line, Outgoing Brine Discharge Line and Outgoing Product
Water Line.
Danger: Any auxiliary valve in these lines damages the Sea Recovery System if left closed during starting
and/or operation of the system.
Caution: In temperatures below 32° F/ 0° C, the freshwater will freeze and damage the components filled
with freshwater. Do not operate the system in below-freezing feed water temperatures.
2. If the optional Clean Rinse Valves are installed, ensure that they are positioned properly for normal operation.
Refer to the Piping and Interconnect Diagram at the beginning of this Chapter.
3. Open the Sea Cock Valve.
4.
Switch the electrical power source to the “ON” position, boat’s circuit breaker.
Danger: The Feed pump is a very close tolerance vane pump. It requires water for lubrication. Operating
this pump dry will damage it within 30 seconds. If feed water has drained from the pump, prime the system
with water up to the Feed pump inlet to ensure that it is wet prior to starting.
5.
To start the system, press the “START/STOP”
button. If the system automatically shuts off immediately or after
20 seconds of operation, this may be due to a system fault. Look at the touch pad to confirm whether a fault
has occurred.
6. If there are no unforeseen abnormalities, the Ultra Whisper System pressure will automatically increase to
normal operating range immediately after starting. Refer to temperature and salinity charts in the final chapter
of this manual.
7. If any abnormality develops, stop the system and correct the problem.
8.
Although the system is producing “product water,” the “product water” may not be “potable” for up to 30 mi
nutes.
The Operating light will blink, when product water is unpotable and becomes solid
“green”
, when the product
water is potable. The salinity of the product water diminishes gradually and is measured by the salinity
probe. When the salinity of the product water has diminished to the factory setting, the salinity controller will
energize the operating light becomes solid
“green” and the 3
-Way Product Water Diversion Valve opens to
product. At that instant, product water will be routed to the charcoal filter, pH neutralizer, UV sterilizer and
onward to the potable water storage tank (depending on your options).
9. Check for the following:
a) A constant feed water flow.
b) A consistent system pressure.
c) Leaks in the system.
d) Unusual noises or other occurrences.
