Automatic Store Cycle 

Warning! 

Proper    understanding  of  the  Spectra  flush  system  and  the  vessel’s  fresh  water 

system configuration is mandatory for extended Auto Store cycles. The flush cycles must not be 
allowed to drain all the fresh water from the vessel or damage to the vessel’s systems and the 
watermaker may occur.  

 

Make sure there is enough water in the fresh water supply system to supply the watermaker 
for  more  than  the  expected  time  of  operation  in  the  “re-flush  every  5  days”  mode.  The 
Farallon units require about 15 gallons (57 liters) every 5 days. 

 

 

Make sure that the pressure water supply  is on and will stay on during the flush  mode (If 
this is not possible contact your certified dealer.). 

 

 

Make sure that the pressure relief valve is closed. It should be closed if the system was just 
used to make water. The auto flush may not operate if the valve is open. 

 

 

The    power  for  the  system,  AC  and  DC,  must  remain  on  during  the  auto  flush  mode. 
Turning off the  power will disable the auto store function and damage may occur. 

 

 

Pressing the Auto Store button momentarily 

will start a flush and then activate the 5 day 

flush  cycle.  The    flush  water  solenoid  will  open  and  the  display  will  read 

“FRESH 

WATER  FLUSH” 

with a countdown timer.  After 60 seconds the Spectra-Pearson Pump 

will start, after 6 minutes the pump will stop while the flush valve remains open for another 
60  seconds.  Them  the  display  will  read 

“FLUSH  TIMER  INTERVAL”,

  and  the 

countdown timer will reflect the number of 

hours

 until the next flush. 

 

 

Pressing and holding the Auto Store button for 3 seconds 

will engage a 

1 time flush

. The 

system  flushes  as  described  above  but  will  not  re-flush  every  5  days.  Display  will  read 

“FRESH  WATER  FLUSH” 

with  a  countdown  timer,  then  the  default  display  when 

finished. 

 

 

Pressing  the 

“Stop” 

button  will  cancel  the  auto  store  mode  and  put  the  watermaker  in 

standby mode.
