Operating instructions
Attention!
Do not operate your water maker with unpurified seawater (oil, chlorine or other
chemicals).
Warning!
The R.O. membranes are conserved with a dissolution that, when ingested, can cause
irritations of the gastrointestinal tract. For that reason, the product water must not be
consumed within the first 30 minutes of operating time, beforehand it has to be drained
over the test-outlet. This applies accordingly after temporary shutdown or cleaning of the
membranes with the cleaning chemicals.
Placing into operation
Attention!
Important: Check the oil level and condition of the high-pressure pump oil daily.
In the event of condensation in the oil (whitish/greyish discoloration due to
continuous operation, warm environment), change the oil immediately.
1) Open the seawater intake valve (no.10).
2) The pressure control valve (no.5) in the control panel has to be
fully opened by turning counter clockwise.
Warning! Never start your Aquatec with closed pressure
control valve!
Starting with a closed valve destroys the pressure reading and
possibly essential parts of the equipment.
An open pressure control valve can be seen when the first two
threads of the valve body becoming visible by turning the
pressure control wheel
. (see picture left)
3) Turn three-way valve (no. 4) according to the flow diagram to position fresh water production. Turn
three-way valve (no. 2) to position test-outlet.
4) Switch on the feed pump. The gauge (no.9, “pressure feed water”) must show positive pressure.
De-aerate the pre-filter system if necessary and control the drain water. To prefill the system, a
short fresh water flush via the onboard pressure water pump can be useful.
5) Switch on the high-pressure pump.
6) Increase the pressure at the pressure control valve (no.5) by slowly turning it clockwise to about 30
bars. Let the system work for about 30 seconds. There should not be any air pockets visible in the
system.
7) Increase the pressure stepwise up to the maximum working pressure (55 bar, 800 psi). Test the
product water by tasting from the test outlet (at daily operation, the product water should be salt-
free after about 60 seconds). By shifting the three-way valve no. 2, the product water is fed into the
fresh water tank.
8) Important: During operation, check the entire system for leaks and smooth running. Operation is not
permitted if the system is in a faulty condition.
Warning!
Never turn the pressure regulation knob completely out while the system is running. The
pressure pushes out the parts inside, which can result in injury and loss.
Attention!
If the system is operated in brackish water, seawater with a lower salt content or higher
water temperature the fresh water production must not exceed the displayed value! In
this case, regulate the pressure under continuous observation of the produced amount of
water until the normal level of fresh water production is reached. (e.g. Baltic Sea about
35 bar or 490 psi )
