Newport 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 scoop type
forward facing thru-hull fitting
installed.
Follow the wire gauge charts in the instructions! Using larger wire than specified is ac-
ceptable.
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. Each flush will use about 5 gallons (20L) for 700 and 1000
systems.
The MPC 3000 control must be de-powered (DC power off) after the system is put in
storage (pickled, where a storage chemical or antifreeze is run through the system.)
If you are separating the Clark pump/membrane assembly, please review the high pres-
sure tube assembly instructions. Improper assembly will cause failure!
Run test, then “sea trial” the complete system before assuming the system is opera-
tional. If the boat is in fresh or dirty water, see “Dry testing the system.”
Spectra dealers are responsible for educating the vessel owners on the operation and
maintenance of the system. We request that both be present for a “walk through” of the
installation and initial operation of the watermaker.
Please fill out the warranty card. This will insure that the factory can contact you in
case it should be necessary.

Thank you
for your purchase of a Spectra Newport system. Properly installed it will provide
years of trouble free service. Please pay attention to the installation instructions and the sys-
tem 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 pre-
vent 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 Watermaker is equipped with overheat shutdown. The Feed Pump module must
be installed in a location where
ambient temperature will not exceed 120F (50C).
