Maintenance and Service
A little love goes a long way
We’ve worked hard to design a product that is simple to operate and maintain. However, regular
attention to the few maintenance requirements of this equipment is critically important. This section of
the
Owner’s Manual
describes both the routine and the long-term maintenance requirements of the
PowerSurvivor 40E .
Much of our knowledge of maintenance requirements, watermaker performance, and potential
problems is a result of feedback from actual users over many years. Following these instructions will
help keep your product freshwater quality good and your watermaker running trouble-free.
Pump Maintenance
Once properly installed, the main watermaker pump and drive assembly requires little attention. You
should regularly inspect the equipment and check for any leakage of seawater, or oil leaks from the
drive assembly.
Any leakage is a sign of a problem and should be corrected .
Make certain that the watermaker remains dry. Exposure to saltwater can cause rapid corrosion of
the drive assembly and/or damage to the electric motor. Keep all electrical connections clean, dry
and tight.
After every 1000 hours (approximately) of use, replace the seals in the pump (See Seal Replacement
below). After approximately 1000 hours of use, grease and inspect the eccentric drive parts. After
approximately 5000 hours of use, have the electric motor inspected for brush wear and commutator
condition.
Pump Piston Shaft Lubrication :
It is extremely important to lubricate the pump piston shaft
periodically, especially after cleaning the membrane. The piston shaft is visible at the side of the drive
assembly, where the pump connects to the drive (see
Figure 11 ). Jog run the watermaker and stop it
when the piston shaft is at its point of farthest travel
away from the pump (i.e., towards the drive
assembly). Assure that the watermaker is off and
can not be started accidentally while you work.
Clean the exposed piston shaft with a clean rag
and lubricate the shaft with non-petroleum silicone
lubricant.
Warning:
The
PowerSurvivor 40E
motor
should be turned off and disconnected from
its source of power before attempting to
lubricate the piston shaft. Never put your
fingers into the area of the piston shaft while
the motor is running.
This could result in
serious injury .
