SYSTEM OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The reverse osmosis membrane contains a preservative solution to prevent microbiological
growth. If ingested, may cause irritation of the gastro-intestinal tract, colic, diarrhea, or other
similar symptoms.
Therefore, discard all the product water for at least thirty minutes of initial operation or after
storage before drinking or use in food preparations!
Do not operate the system using contaminated feed water sources (oil, chlorine or other
chemicals).
Have you filled the high-pressure pump with the proper amount of oil?
1)
Open the pressure control valve on the control panel all the way, counter-clock wise.
2)
Set the flush/service valve at the pre-filter assembly to the run position (center) and open
the shut off valve at the pre-filter intake.
3)
Set the diverter valve on the flow control panel to the sample (test) position.
4)
Switch the selector switch to the “Service” position to run the sea water supply pump
only.
5)
Purge the seawater intake system until all entrapped air has escaped, then switch the
selector switch “Off” and bring the selector switch in the “Auto” position.
6)
Press the start button for about five seconds. If the motor stops when the start-button is
released, purge the seawater intake system again and start the watermaker in the “Auto”
position
7)
Close the pressure control valve slowly clockwise and adjust the water pressure to
800psi. If the watermaker is used in brackish water, adjust the pressure in order to
achieve the specified product water output
only
.
Caution: Never allow any leaks in your hose or pipe connections.
8)
Check the quality of the product water with the TDS meter. If the water is pure (under
500ppm TDS), switch the diverter valve on the control panel to the storage tank position.
