Fresh Water Flush
The purpose of the fresh water flush is to replace the raw water in the watermaker with fresh
water whenever the system is not operating. The watermaker will last longer and operate
better if it is always filled with fresh water between uses. If the watermaker is not used for
more than five days it should be flushed again to ensure that the water inside stays fresh and
oxygenated. In this way, the water maker can be kept ready for immediate use indefinitely.
After five days, if the watermaker has not been used repeat the flush process using unchlorin-
ated water. A charcoal (carbon) filter can be used to remove chlorine.
Put the feed service hose in the bucket and the brine and product hoses to drain.
Turn on the feed pump and run the watermaker until all the water has been pumped out of
the bucket.
Charge the battery if possible. The solar panel can stay connected to the unit indefinitely to
keep the battery charged and the charge controller will manage the process.
When the flush is complete connect the feed and the drain hoses together so water does not
drip into the case.
