Start-Up 

 

1)  Precautions before start-up 

 

 

 

Mandatory

 

Ø

  When using the device for the first time, after changing the filter, after the boat has 

been grounded or stopped for a long time, you should flush the system using fresh 
water by operating the three-way valve on the prefilter (see 

Appendix A3

).  

 

Ø

  Purge the system for 1 minute: watermaker must be stopped and the pressure 

regulator open (counterclockwise). 

 

Ø

  Once the system is filled, put the valve back in seawater position (see 

Appendix A3

). 

 
 

Ø

  It is important to take into account the ampere capacity of the battery as well as the 

operating time. 

When using the system in 12 or 24V, you should not run it for 

more than 5 minutes without starting the boat engine

 
 

Note: 

If you are not going to use the watermaker at all for a month or more, we 

recommend to either sterilize the membranes for storage (for a maximum duration of 6 
months) or to rinse it out at least once a month. 
Before starting the system back up, we recommend rinsing it out for two minutes (see 

Appendix A3

). 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

WARNING!

 

Before starting-up, check that the valves are open.
