1. Components supplied with the Dessalator®: Version A Hull valve: The hull valve strainer filters out the larger particles at system entrance. Pre-filter: 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 is mounted. Motor-Pump unit: The motor-pump unit is comprised of the 120, 230 or 400 V motor and a high pressure pump. Membrane unit:: The membrane unit includes 3 membranes 2521 assembled in a compact frame. According to the model, a fuse or a circuit breaker is supplied. Control panel: includes...

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

2. How to install the desalinator: 2.4 Membrane unit 1 The membranes can be installed either vertically or horizontally. 1 They are mounted using 4 Parker screws in alloy brackets . As 2 the hose from the HP 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. 2 3 3 Recommendation: To facilitate the connection , it is possible to rotate the heads through 90° by unscrewing the grey production...

2. How to install the desalinator: 2.5 Control panel: 1 2 6 3 5 7 1 8 4 2 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: 1 HP pipe exiting the membranes (blue mark) 2 Production hose exiting the membranes (blue hose) 3 Production hose from panel to tanks :...

3. Starting the Dessalator : 1. Ensure the valves are open before starting up the desalinator (Hull valve and waste oulet valve if relevant) 2. If the desalinator has not been run for several days rinse with the three-way valve on the pre-filter as for normal rinsing before use. This should be carried out while the desalinator is idle and with the pressure regulator open (fully anti-clockwise). Rinse for two minutes. 3. To start the desalinator, the pressure regulator must be open. Switch on. 4. Turn the pressure regulator dial to the right, until the HP gauge reading is in the orange zone then...

4. Directions for use: MEMBRANES DELICATE COMPONENTS Reverse osmosis membranes must be carefully maintained as they are the most delicate elements of the reverse osmosis 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:...
