FULLY AUTOMATED WATER TREATMENT PLANT FOR YACHTS AND HOUSEBOATS
aquonic | User Manual
Basics
Our water treatment plant is used for turning surroun-
ding water into the clean and sterile fresh water. The
plant can use water from rivers, lakes, wells or plain
rainwater, but is incapable of desalinating sea water.
The latter requires one of our desalination plants.
APPLICATION AND INTENDED USE
It is imperative to only use the plant for its intended
purpose and to avoid water that is full of chemicals to
ensure safe operation of the plant; chemicals or oil in
the water may congest the filters or diaphragm; furt -
hermore, the purity of the produced fresh water will
not be guaranteed.
The plant’s diaphragm used for osmosis are easily congested or
damaged by chlorine, oil or chemicals. It is therefore important to avoid
using contaminated water like around industrial ports.
The generated waste water and the water used for cleaning during the
first 15 minutes will be diverted through the water line to the connected
overflow (min ID 10 mm). The plant shuts off automatically in case of
overpressure (e.g. if the diaphragm is congested). Please refer to
chapter ERROR MESSAGES for further information.
Surrounding water will be sucked through a filter unit
consisting of four prefilters (sediment, 20 μm, 5 μm,
carbon filter) and then pressed to the osmosis dia
-
phragm by a high pressure pump for further cleaning.
The resulting waste water may be reused or diverted
off board. The produced fresh water will further be
FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE
purified by an UVC sterilization unit and remineralized.
The water circulation is controlled automatically by ma-
gnetic valves. The plant will begin a flushing procedure
upon start and will therefore divert the produced water
off board for the first 15 minutes.
