
The R.O. Boost timing can be reset with the hex plugs on the side of the block. By supplying adequate
pressure to one of the plug holes to push one of the pistons back in timing sequence. Contact your Sea
Recovery Dealer for the further information. After resetting the R.O. Boost check all equipment
supporting the R.O Boost. If the problem is not corrected it will lead to stuck or blocked R.O. Boost or
worse.
Caution: Resetting the R.O. Boost incorrectly may cause damage to the internal seals of the R.O. Boost,
leaving the R.O Boost inoperable and in need of a rebuild or replace.
3-Way Product Water Diversion Valve Abnormalities
1. The Water Quality is less than 750ppm; however, the Diversion Valve does not divert potable water to the post filtration
section and onto the boat’s potable water storage tank.
2. The Diversion Va
lve is not energizing, and the valve’s coil is cool to the touch after several minutes of
operation with the Water Quality is less than 750ppm.

The 3-way Product Water Diversion Valve may have a defective solenoid coil.

There may be a loose wire connection at the Control Printed Circ
uit Board or the solenoid’s din
connector.

The Control Printed Circuit Board may not be delivering 12 VDC to the solenoid.
3. The 3-way Diversion Valve is receiving 12 VDC when the Water Quality is less than 750 ppm safe water. The
valve’s
solenoid coil is not defective, nor is it warm or hot to the touch; however, the Diversion Valve does not divert
potable water to the post filtration section and onto the boat’s potable water storage tank.
The Diversion Valve internal ports may have been moved by over tightening of the black tube fittings
causing blockage internally and require adjustment. Remove Diversion Valve from the system and adjust
ports.
High-Pressure or Low-Pressure Abnormalities Due to Mismatch of Components
The Ultra Whisper System is designed to recover as product water a fixed percentage of the feed water. The
system self-adjusts the operating pressure in order to maintain a constant and set product water flow. Therefore,
the system will never experience greater than or less than normal product water flow, unless there is a failure or
abnormality.
Three components must be properly matched in order to attain acceptable operating pressure limits and resulting
product water production limits. The R.O. BOOST, the RO Membrane Element and the Feed Pump output flow of
water
must all be matched. Upon leaving Sea Recovery’s factory at the time of shipment, these components have
been matched and tested together as a system.
If the initial Sea Recovery customer (distributor, dealer or boat builder) has mistakenly interchanged one or more
of these components from other systems in their stock, this will cause a mismatch resulting in insufficient operating
pressure, insufficient product water flow, excessive operating pressure or excessive product water flow. If one or
more of these components has recently been replaced, it may have been replaced with the incorrect component.
If the system is new and being operated for the first time or if one or more of the above-mentioned components
has recently been replaced, check to ensure that the three components are properly matched. Refer to the following
two pages.
FEED PUMP: If the Feed Pump has been improperly changed to a higher size code (i.e., from 140 GPH to 190
GPH), product water flow will increase along with higher-than-normal operating pressure. The High-Pressure
Transducer will eventually signal the system to shut down due to excess pressure at the R.O. BOOST Feed
Inlet. If the Feed Pump has been improperly changed to a lower size code (i.e., from 190 GPH to 140 GPH),
product water flow will decrease along with lower-than-normal operating pressure and poor product water
quality.
RO MEMBRANE ELEMENT: If the RO Membrane Element has been improperly changed to a HIGHER size code
from “A” to “B” or “C” or from “B” to “C,” then product water flow will not change and the operating pressure will
decrease resulting in poor product water quality. If the RO Membrane Element has been improperly changed to a
