DUO 100

Product catalog summary
Components:
The DUO100® water maker consists of several key components: a hull valve, pre-filter, motor unit, membrane unit, control panel, and necessary pipes and hoses. The hull valve should be installed low in the boat, with the pre-filter positioned nearby. The motor unit requires adequate ventilation, especially when operating at 120V. The membrane unit includes three membranes, and the control panel is equipped with a gauge, flowmeter, switch, and indicator lights.
Installation Procedures:
Sea Water Inlet: The strainer should be positioned low and sealed with waterproof materials, using Tricoflex hoses for connection to ensure watertightness.
Motor Unit: Install horizontally and low in the boat, ensuring proper ventilation. Use Tricoflex hoses and secure with jubilee clips.
Electrical Connections: Ensure correct polarity and appropriate cable diameters, and install a fuse or circuit breaker as necessary.
Membrane Unit: Install either horizontally or on a wall, using insulating tubes for hoses, and follow connector installation instructions carefully.
Control Panel: Mount vertically near the motor and membranes, ensuring space for connections, and connect hoses and electrical cables as specified.
Starting the Dessalator®:
Before starting, ensure all valves are open. Fill the circuit with fresh water for initial use or after long periods of inactivity. Start the motor, adjust pressure, and monitor water quality and flow. The system will automatically shut down if the pressure is too high.
Directions for Use:
Membranes require careful maintenance, avoiding extreme temperatures and ensuring they remain immersed in liquid. Use sterilizing liquid for long-term storage and avoid using the system in polluted or muddy waters.
Maintenance:
Regular rinsing and sterilization of membranes are essential to maintain efficiency. Follow specific instructions to prevent damage.
Spare Parts and Accessories:
Includes various connectors, hoses, and additional hardware required for installation and maintenance.
Appendices:
Provide detailed instructions on reverse osmosis, assembling connectors, using sterilizing cartridges, manual rinsing, and troubleshooting.
Maintenance Procedures:
  • Membrane Maintenance: After 1,000 hours, expect a 10-15% flow reduction. Replace membranes if production doesn't improve after rinsing.
  • Rinsing: A weekly fresh water flush is recommended, with both manual and automatic methods available. Avoid high-pressure fresh water to prevent membrane damage.
  • Sterilizing: Sterilize every six months if regular rinsing isn't possible, using manual, spray, or sterilizing cartridge methods.
  • HP Pump: Regularly check oil levels and use 15W40 oil if needed. Remove shipment sticker before use.
Spare Parts and Accessories:
Available parts include filters, belts, relays, valves, and hoses. Accessories include sterilizing and mineralizing cartridges.
Reverse Osmosis Principle:
  • Sea water is pressurized through membranes, filtering out most solids. The system rejects 99% of TDS, ensuring drinking water with a TDS of 500.
  • Regular treatment of stored water with chlorine or iodine is recommended, but chlorine should be avoided in the system.
Installation Instructions:
Detailed steps for connecting HP connectors, including greasing and checking for blockages.
Troubleshooting:
Common issues include leaks, noisy pumps, and insufficient water flow. Solutions involve tightening, replacing seals, and ensuring proper connections.

1. Components supplied with the Dessalator®: Version A3 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: to 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...

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 and ensure that the immersed part is painted with underwater grade paint. The hull valve should be accessible for maintenance. Make the valve / strainer and valve / hose connector watertight using...

2. How to install the DUO 100: 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 1 between the prefilter oulet and the inlet to the low pressure side of 2 the pump is in Tricoflex hose of 12mm with doubled stainless jubilee clips at each joint. The HP head of the pump is connected to the...

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 1 steel brackets . As the hose from the HP 2 pump 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 , it is possible to rotate the heads through 90° by unscrewing...

3. Starting the DUO: 1. Ensure the valves are open before starting up the watermaker (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: 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 water put the valve handle of the pre filter to...

4. Directions for use: MEMBRANES DELICATE COMPONENTS Reverse osmosis membranes must be carefully maintained as they are the most delicate elements of the 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. Output drops by approximately 2.5% to 5% for each degree below 25°C. Extreme temperatures: The...

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...
