Plan Ahead for Manual Operation
The
PowerSurvivor 40E
watermaker was never intended to be part of a vessel’s “Abandon Ship”
equipment. Its capability for manual operation is useful when normal ship’s power is unavailable. If
you perform a typical installation, it is unlikely that you would have time to remove the watermaker
when abandoning ship. Katadyn produces other desalinators that are specifically designed to be
part of your survival equipment. Please visit our website for information on the
Survivor 35 and
Survivor 06
watermakers, both of which are intended for inclusion in survival kits.
Before finalizing your installation plans, consider how you would manually operate your
watermaker, should the need arise. You will require a source of seawater input and a place to drain
the reject brine, as well as a product freshwater collection container. Typically, the watermaker will
have to be moved to a location convenient for manual pumping. There are two common approaches
to implementing such an arrangement:
 During your installation, leave adequate service loops in the three hoses to allow the
watermaker to be moved to a nearby location convenient for manual operation. This
arrangement eliminates the need to disconnect any of the hoses.

Prepare a separate set of hoses to be used during manual operation
(recommended). This approach allows the watermaker to be moved to any location
for manual operation.
More than likely, the plan you choose will be dictated by the location of the space available. In any
case, consider how you would manually operate your watermaker before finalizing your installation
plans.
Installation Procedures
Although every installation has custom aspects,
the following general instructions should be
useful to the typical installer. Refer to
Figure A-1
(in the
Appendix
) for information on parts
identification and system connections.
1. Install Pump:
After reading the comments
on the preceding pages, decide on a location
for the main pump/drive assembly. It should be
mounted with the long axis of the membrane
housing in a horizontal position. The purpose of
this requirement is to avoid two problems:
 If the pump develops a seawater leak
and is located directly above the
drive assembly, the drive assembly
and/or electric motor may be damaged (
Figure 3 , left).
 If the drive assembly develops an oil leak and is located directly above the pump, oil
may find its way into the pumping system and damage the membrane (
Figure 3 ,
right).
We recommend securely thru-bolting the pump/drive assembly to a sturdy bulkhead or platform,
using corrosion-resistant 1/4" fasteners with flat washers (See
Figure A-1
). Pick a location that
allows ample space for routing the required hoses and electrical wires to the pump and motor.
