3. Check/Adjust the flush duration
Run the watermaker for 10 minutes to fill the system with seawater, confirm that good
product water is being sent to the tanks.
Press the ‘ Stop ’ button. The system will stop. Press the ‘ FWF ’ button and the system will begin
flushing.
Allow the fresh water flush to continue to completion. At the end of the flush cycle capture
some of the flush water at the brine discharge in a clean cup. Measure the salinity of the brine
discharge and confirm that it is below 1000ppm using a calibrated hand held TDS meter.
If the flush duration needs to be increased , continue reading.
Adjusting Fresh Water Flush Duration
The Catalina Freshwater Flush Duration is set to a factory default of 3 minutes , which is usually
the right amount of time to ensure that seawater is thoroughly flushed out of the watermaker
using the least amount of fresh water. However, due to different lengths of hose runs,
different rates of flow, and different pressures in shipboard fresh water systems, the flush
duration can be optimized for your boat.
Set the Flush Duration with a small screwdriver so that the fresh water flush comes to an end
just as the salinity of the brine discharge drops below 1000 PPM, or no longer tastes brackish.
Since the flush duration can only be adjusted in round minutes, you may want to lessen the
duration to 2 minutes, to save water, or increase to 4 or more minutes to ensure a thorough
flush.
Also, the charcoal filter is rated for 1.5 GPM (6 LPM): If the system pushes more than 1.5 GPM
through the charcoal filter (4.5 gallons in 3 minutes), a flow regulator can be added.
