1. Components supplied with the Dessalator®: Version A5 Hull valve: It must be located the lowest possible in the boat, to the back for a motor yacht or in the centre near the keel for a sailing boat. The hull valve strainer filters out the larger particles at system entrance. Pre-filter: It must be located the nearest possible to the hull valve and be compulsory under the waterline. If not possible, there is a solution: install a LP pump (optional). The pre-filter filters out solid particles down to 5 µm at the motor unit inlet. It is supplied with wrench. For automatic rinsing an electro-valve...

2. How to install the watermaker: 2.1 Sea water inlet Sea water inlet valve: The strainer should be positioned as low as possible below the waterline and as far as possible from the deck waste oulet. Drill the hull  21mm. The grooves on the strainer should be facing forward (towards the bow) for maximum water intake when the boat is moving forward. Please seal watertight with Rubson mastic or Sicaflex. The hull valve should be accessible for maintenance. Make the valve / strainer and valve / hose connector watertight using 577 Loctite or Teflon tape. Recommendation: ensure that the immersed...

2. How to install the desalinator: 2.2 Motor unit: The HP motor unit should be installed as low as possible in the boat in a horizontal position and it must be protected from water spray as much as possible. The unit is mounted using two brackets under the two motors leaving a few centimetres clear space around the unit, to get sufficient air circulation space for motor cooling. The connection between the prefilter1 oulet and the inlet to the low pressure side of the pump 2 is in Tricoflex hose of  12mm with doubled stainless jubilee clips at each joint. The HP head3 of the pump is connected...

2. How to install the desalinator: 2.4 Membrane unit 3 The membranes can be installed horizontally, preferably flat or on a wall support. They are mounted using 8 Parker screws in stainless steel brackets1. As the hose from the HP pump2 vibrates, it is preferable to install the hose with an insulating tube. The HP connectors should be installed strictly in accordance with the instructions (Appendix A2). Apply a little loctite or nut seal to the two male and female cones before tightening. Recommendation: To facilitate the connection of the HP stainless steel fittings3, it is possible to rotate...

2. How to install the desalinator: 2.5 Control panel: 3 The control panel must be mounted on a vertical surface as close as possible to the motor / pump unit and to the membranes. Leave space behind the panel to facilitate the connections. It is recommended that it is installed at the bottom or on the sides of cupboards, under chart table or main cabin seats, on the front panel of a rear bunk, … The panel has the following water connections:  HP hose1  Production hose exiting the membranes (blue hose)2  Production hose from panel to tanks3: a 10mm inner  Tricoflex hose will be required which...

3. Starting the Dessalator: 1. Ensure the valves are open before starting up the desalinator (Hull valve and waste oulet valve if relevant) 2. To be done compulsory: For the first use, after the replacement of the filter, when lifting the boat out of the water or for a long period of not using your water maker, please fill the circuit with fresh water WITHOUT PRESSURE with the pump of board: put the handle valve on the pre filter to the back; this operation should be done for 3 or 4 minutes, water maker stopped and pressure captor open (fully anti-clockwise). Once the circuit is full of fresh...

4. Directions for use: MEMBRANES DELICATE COMPONENTS Reverse osmosis membranes must be carefully maintained as they are the most delicate elements of your system. We recommend that the maintenance instructions are carefully followed to prevent the membranes from damage and to ensure the guarantee is not invalidated. Maximum production capacity of the desalinator is achieved with a sea water temperature of 25°C. The functioning of the membranes will vary depending on the temperature of the sea water and the sailing area. Output drops by approximately 2.5% to 5% for each degree below 25°C. Extreme...

5. Maintenance: CAUTION: IN FREEZING CONDITIONS, PLEASE EMPTY THE FLOWMETER TUBE ON THE CONTROL PANEL BY DISCONNECTING THE PRODUCTION HOSE AND BLOWING OR INJECTING AIR INTO THE HOSE, PROTECT YOUR MEMBRANES WITH BLANKETS. 5.1. After 1,000 working hours, it is normal that the flow lowers between 10 and 15%. If more, you should think of replacing the membranes.  The volume of production of your watermaker can be made over the first 24 to 48 hours of operation. If the drinking water produced falls below the normal working specifications (sea water containing a TDS of 35,000 ppm, a sea water temperature...
