Components Supplied by the Installer or Owner
Caution: All fittings, valving and piping installed prior to, within, and after the Horizon Reverse
Osmosis System must not contain iron; they must be non-ferrous material (not containing
iron). Iron fittings or piping will cause rust fouling and failure of the RO Membrane Element.
The resulting failure of the RO Membrane Element is attributed to improper installation, is the
liability of the installer and is not covered by the Horizon Reverse Osmosis Warranty.
Water Connections for Seafari Escape Hook up to be Supplied by the Installer
1. Feed Inlet: 5/8” MNPT Male National Pipe Thread U.S. Standard
2. Brine Discharge: 3/8” MNPT Male National Pipe Thread U.S. Standard
3. Product: 1/4” FNPT Female National Pipe Thread U.S. Standard
Inlet Thru-Hull Fitting with Forward Facing Scoop
The inlet thru-hull fitting must be dedicated to only the Horizon Reverse Osmosis System. It is important
that the installer utilizes a forward facing scoop so that the system receives a positive flow of water
while the boat is underway. The fitting must be installed on the boat’s hull in a position that provides
continual feed water flow without air to the system.
Caution: A flat or flush inlet thru-hull fitting will cause a vacuum as the boat is under way and
this will cause loss of feed water flow and cavitation of the booster pump resulting in continual
System shut down due to low feed water flow and pressure. The resulting failure of the System
to remain in operation is attributed to improper installation, is the liability of the installer, and
is not covered by the Horizon Reverse Osmosis warranty.
Caution: If the thru-hull fitting is placed in a position that allows air to continually enter the
thru-hull fitting this will cause the system to continually shut down due to loss of feed water.
The resulting failure of the System to remain in operation is attributed to improper installation,
is the liability of the installer, and is not covered by the Sea Recovery warranty.
Caution: The Horizon Reverse Osmosis System must not be tied into another existing auxiliary
water line already supplying another accessory on the boat. Connecting the Horizon Reverse
Osmosis System into a thru-hull fitting already supplying other equipment will cause the
Horizon Reverse Osmosis System to draw air or cavitate leading to continual system shut-down
or may starve the other equipment.
Caution: If the Horizon Reverse Osmosis System is connected to a Sea Chest or Stand Up
Pipe, DO NOT plumb the Horizon Reverse Osmosis System feed line to the “top” of the Sea
Chest or Stand Up Pipe. If plumbed into the top of these feed water arrangements, the Horizon
Reverse Osmosis System will experience continual shut-down due to air inducement into the
system. Plumb the Horizon Reverse Osmosis System to the “bottom” of such feed water
arrangements to ensure a continual air-free supply of feed water to the system.
The resulting failure of the system to remain in operation due to any of the above improper
installation is the liability of the installer and is not covered by the Horizon Reverse Osmosis
Warranty.
