New System Start - Up and Testing
Avoid running the Catalina system if the vessel is in contaminated water. The system should be fully tested before leaving port.
If the location or weather prevents proper testing, refer to Dry Testing with an Artificial Ocean on page 29.
Every new system is shipped from the factory with nontoxic, food - grade propylene glycol. Propylene glycol,
Spectra Chemicals, or anything other than seawater or freshwater must be purged from the system with the
pressure relief valve open at least 1/2 turn. You can purge your system with seawater or with freshwater via the
system ’ s freshwater flush function. The system must be purged for a minimum of 60 minutes, or until at least 40
gallons of water have moved through the system.
***When purging SC - 1 from a pickled watermaker, system must be purged for a minimum of 20
minutes. Propylene Glycol should be purged for minimum 60 minutes***
Warning! Damage may occur if the purge sequence is bypassed
and the membrane is pressurized with storage chemical in it.
1. First, check that:
•
Thru - hull inlet and the brine discharge valves are open.
• All of your hose connections are tight.
• The washer with the green tag under the pressure relief valve has been removed.
• The pressure relief valve is open at least 1/2 turn.
• The sampling valve is set to the sample position
•
The brine line is able to freely discharge
3. Run the system without pressure for 60 minutes to purge the storage
chemicals. The pressure gauge should read less than 35 PSI. If purging with
freshwater, the sampling tube may discharge water.
4. Close the pressure relief valve. The pressure should rise to 60 - 80 PSI (4.2 - 5.7bar) on a
Catalina 340R. Water should begin to flow out of the sampling tube. If the ship is located in
brackish or fresh water, the pressure will be lower.
Depending on storage and environmental conditions the system may need to have additional
purging time. If the product water does not taste pure or sample at below 500 ppm, purge or run
the system with the pressure relief valve open for up to 6 additional hours.
Open 1/2 Turn when
purging chemicals!
Remove Tag and Washer!
For a purge with seawater
• Move to an area free of contaminated water.
Avoid areas such as polluted harbors or canals.
For a purge using the freshwater flush
• The vessel ’ s pressurized water system
is on
3 - Way Sampling Valve
2. Turn on feed pump via the manual toggle switch and check to
make sure water is coming out of the brine discharge (thru - hull
above water).
