Dry Testing With Artificial Ocean
If it is not possible to test run the system with the boat in the water, testing may be accomplished with
an artificial ocean. Purchase enough aquarium salt to make 5 gallons (20 liters) of salt water.
Make sure that the domestic water system is powered up and that there is water in the tank. Confirm
that the charcoal filter is installed in the fresh water flush module, and that the domestic water line
had been installed and all valves are open.
1. Open pressure relief valve.
2. Power up the control system.
3. Press both “Auto Run” and “Stop” to bypass the purge sequence. If the motor starts, stop immedi-
ately and press the “Auto Run” and “Stop” button again until the message “ Purge Mode By-
passed” is displayed.
4. Press the “Auto Store” button and allow the fresh water flush system to cycle through its timed
operation. Cycle the auto store system five or more times to purge all of the storage chemicals out
of the system (20 minutes total purging).
5. Hook up your service hoses per the service diagram and photos. Route them into a 5 gallon (20
liter) bucket. Disconnect the product tube from the diversion valve and using another short piece
of tube, route the product water feed into the test bucket.
6. Turn the valve on the fresh water flush module from “Run ” to “ Service . ”
7. Press auto flush one or two more times to get enough water into the bucket to properly mix your
salt water. Mix the salt until it goes into solution. If you are using a hydrometer mix the water to
be 30,000 PPM. Close the pressure relief valve and start the system using the “Auto Run
” button.
8. Run and test the system for as long as possible. During the run test, carefully inspect for leaks.
Check all of the system parameters to make sure the system is operating correctly. Do not allow
the water in the bucket to get above 120
o
F (50
o
C).
9. Store the system per the “Storage” instructions.
