1. The system must have a dedicated sea water inlet to guarantee a solid flow of water to the
system. The inlet should be as low in the boat as possible and with a forward facing scoop-
type thru-hull fitting installed.
2. Both the Catalina 340 Z feed pump module and the Clark Pump/Membrane module must
be installed in a well ventilated compartment where temperatures will not exceed 120F
(48C). Many engine compartments exceed this temperature when underway. Warranty
will be void if the installation does not meet this requirement.
3. Follow the wire gauge charts in the instructions. Using larger wire than specified is ac-
ceptable.
4. If you are separating the Clark Pump/membrane assembly, please review the high pressure
tube assembly instructions. Improper assembly will cause failure.
5. Run, test, then sea trial the complete system before assuming the system is operational. If
the boat is in fresh or dirty water, see Dry Testing with an Artificial Ocean. After testing,
make sure that the flush cycle operates properly. The water going overboard at the end of
the flush should only taste slightly salty and measure <1000 PPM salinity.
6. The MPC control must have DC power continuously to achieve the full benefits of the fresh
water flush system. The domestic fresh water pressure must be on and the fresh water
tank level maintained. Calculate 7 gallons (12L) per flush.
7. The MPC 5000 control must be de-powered (DC power off) after the system is put in stor-
age.
8. Spectra dealers are responsible for educating the vessel owners on the operation and
maintenance of the system. We request that you walk through the installation with the
customer.
9. Please have the owner fill out the warranty card or fill one out on Spectra’s website,
