The Clark Pump/membrane module comes complete with a mounting system. Be sure to use the
supplied washers on the rubber feet. Use it as a template for drilling the mount holes. Mount in
any position but leave access to the pressure relief valve on the Clark Pump. The membrane
maximum temperature specification is 120
o
F. This module must be installed in an area that
maintains a temperature below 120
o
F (50
o
C). A cool location is preferable. Keep this unit
within the 15’ (4.5 M) reach of the wires from main feed pump module. This unit may be
placed as high in the boat as you desire. Make sure that the area around and under the pump
does not have any water sensitive equipment. Water will be spilled during any repairs or if a
leak occurs. In order to avoid air bubbles getting trapped on the salinity probe electrodes, the
diversion valve/probe assembly must be mounted in a vertical position so that the cable plugs in
at the bottom and the electrodes point up.
The Clark pump and membrane assembly has been pre-assembled at the factory. If it is nec-
essary to disassemble this module and mount the pressure vessel remotely use guidelines in
back of the manual. Use only approved tubing for assembly.
