4) Stopping the watermaker: with automatic rinsing of the membranes
A rinsing must be carried out if the watermaker is not going to be used for more than 3
weeks.
Follow the procedure below:
After using the watermaker,
do not turn it off
.
Ø
While the watermaker is still running, turn the pressure regulating dial all the
way to the left (counterclockwise) to lower the pressure of the gauge .
Ø
Once the dial cannot be turned further, reopen the pressure regulating dial by a
¼ of a turn (to the right).
Ø
The watermaker will stop producing water and will enter the rinsing procedure. The
green and yellow LEDs on the control panel will light up, indicating that the rinsing
procedure has started. This should take 60 seconds and stop automatically. The
green and yellow LEDs will turn off and the only indicator remaining will be the
blinking blue LED on the ON / OFF switch , to remind you to turn off your
watermaker by switching it to "OFF".
Automatic flushing is the best way to flush your system as it not only replaces
seawater with fresh water, but it also washes your pre-filter and allows to discharge
to the sea (through the suction through-hull) all impurities and debris accumulated
in the filter bowl.
The rinsing procedure should be performed every month.
If you’re not going to use the watermaker at all, the membranes must be sterilized for
storage (for a maximum period of 6 months).
