Fresh Water Flush
The purpose of the fresh water flush is to replace the sea water in the watermaker with fresh
water whenever the system is not operating. The watermaker will last longer and operate
better if it is always filled with fresh water between uses. If the watermaker is not used for
more than five days it should be flushed again to ensure that the water inside stays fresh and
oxygenated. In this way, the water maker can be kept ready for immediate use indefinitely.
To make the watermaker ready for periodic fresh water flushing, put a Spectra Watermakers
Charcoal Filter in the filter housing. The Charcoal filter will remove any damaging chlorine that
might be present in the flush water.
After five days, if the watermaker has not been used, put three gallons of fresh water in a
bucket.
Put the feed service hose in the bucket and the brine and product hoses to drain.
Turn on the feed pump and run the watermaker until all the water has been pumped out of
the bucket.
Charge the battery.
Remove the hoses, drain them, and stow them away in the case. Insert the hose connection
plugs in the hose fittings.
Leave the charcoal filter in the housing for next time.
Charcoal filter elements are only good
for six months after they are installed. After six months the charcoal filter element will lose
its ability to remove chlorine.
