Seal / Ceramic Oilers
The Pearson Pump comes with drip oilers which are used to extend the service life of the seals. Allow
the system to run for at least one hour before allowing the seal oilers to drip. Use the same gearcase oil
as used in the Pearson Pump crankcase. Only fill the reservoirs half way, do not overfill.
Following this procedure will dramatically increase the seal life, however, over-oiling can foul the mem-
branes.
There are two methods to oiling and either one is acceptable;
Each time you start the watermaker open the oiler
lever (pointing up) and allow 4-5 drips to fall.
Unscrew the top of the oiler to increase the drip rate.
Be sure to close the valve to limit the amount of oil
Used so the membranes are not fouled.
The oilers will drip when opened, which can be seen
in the window below the reservoir.
The other option is to leave the drip valve open and add two
pumps to each oiler once per week from the supplied oil can (1/3
oz. or 8-10 ml).
Either option is acceptable, but make sure one of them becomes
part of the regular maintenance schedule.
Do not use more than the recommended
amount of oil as damage to the mem-
branes may result.
