Sea Recovery Aqua Mini 170, Руководство пользователя

Страница: 32 / 170

Caution: A 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 and High Pressure Pump resulting in continual system
shut down due to low feed water flow and low 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 Sea
Recovery warranty.
Caution: The Aqua Mini system must receive an uninterrupted supply of feed water without air. If the thru-hull
fitting is placed in a position on the underside of the hull 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 Aqua Mini system must not be tied into another existing auxiliary water line already supplying
another accessory on the boat. Using one Thru Hull fitting for other equipment will cause the Aqua Mini
system to draw air or cavitate leading to continual system shut down. 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: If the Aqua Mini system is connected to a Sea Chest or Stand Up Pipe, do not plumb the Aqua
Mini 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 Aqua Mini system will experience continual shut down due to air inducement into
the system. Plumb the Aqua Mini to the “bottom” of such feed water arrangements to ensure a continual air
free supply of feed water to the system.
3. Inlet Sea Cock Valve [2]
Quarter turn ball valve min. 1/2” size, with a 1/2” MNPT connection for mating to the supplied 1/2” FNPT fitting.
4. Brine Discharge Thru Hull Fitting [18]
Minimum 1/2” size with a 1/2” MNPT connection for mating to the supplied 1/2” FNPT fitting. The Brine Discharge
Thru Hull Fitting should be installed above water level. No valves should be installed in this line. If a closed valve
was the cause of damage and failed the system, it will not be covered by the Sea Recovery Warranty.
5. Connection to the boat’s Potable Water Storage Tank [24]
Requires a 1/4” FNPT connection for mating to the supplied 1/4” MNPT fitting. In order to avoid problems such as
reverse flow (osmosis) from the tank to the system and chlorination attack of the R.O. Membrane Element, the
fitting must terminate above the maximum water level. No valves should be installed in this line. If a closed valve
was the cause of damage and failed the system, it will not be covered by the Sea Recovery Warranty.
Refer to Electrical Specifications at the beginning of this booklet.
System and Component Mounting
The following steps discuss the installation of the Aqua Mini 170, 350, 550 & 750. The prior illustrations show the
system installed in the port-aft section of a boat as an example. It is understood that this location or configuration
may not always be possible, and there are a variety of locations the system may be mounted. The components in
the illustrations are spaced far apart only to allow illustration of the hose and tube connections between components.
The mounting surfaces must be flat in order to avoid warping of brackets and frames. Use appropriate shims on
uneven surfaces to ensure that mounting of the system components does not cause bending or warping.
1. The Optional Sea Strainer is mounted below water level between the Inlet Sea Cock Valve and Booster Pump.
Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance below the bowl to access the mesh screen for cleaning or
replacement.
2. The Optional Fresh Water Flush Filter Canister is mounted to a Vertical Bulkhead. Allow at least 4 inches (10
cm) of clearance below the bowl for element replacement.
