Farallon Installation Quick Start
Important Details for Installer
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.
Follow the wire gauge charts in the instructions! Using larger wire than specified is
acceptable.
The system must have 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 15 gallons (76L) per flush..
The system must be de-powered after the system is put in storage “pickled” where a storage
chemical or antifreeze is run through the system.
If you are separating the high pressure pump and membrane assembly please review the
high pressure hose assembly instructions. Improper assembly will cause failure! The
Control Box can also be remotely mounted, see instructions later in this manual.
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 the system.”
After
running make sure that the flush cycle operates properly
. The water going overboard at
the end of the flush should not taste salty (<1000ppm)
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 our
customer.
Please fill out the warranty card. The warranty is void if it is not registered.

Thank you
for your purchase of a new Spectra Farallon system. When properly installed and
maintained it will provide years of trouble free service. Please pay attention to the installation
instructions and the system layout. Like any piece of mechanical equipment the system will
require inspection and service from time to time. Do not place the components in inaccessible
areas that will prevent proper maintenance. If you are having a dealer install the system for you,
review the location of the components to make sure that the installation will meet your approval
upon completion.
The Spectra-Pearson Pump 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.
