New System Start-Up and Testing

Avoid running the system if the vessel is in contaminated water, which might contain oil or high levels of bacteria. The system should be fully run tested before leaving port. It is preferable to sacrifice a filter by running the system in turbid water rather than waiting to get offshore to discover a problem or deficiency in the installation. If the location or weather prevents proper testing refer to the section “Dry Testing.”

Warning! Damage may occur if the purge sequence is bypassed and the membrane is pressurized with storage chemical in it.

1.First Check That:

•Thru-hull valve is open

•Service/ Run Auto/ Service switch in “Run Auto” Position

•Domestic fresh water pressure system must be on

2.Open pressure relief valve 1/2 turn !

3.Power up the system

•Alarm will sound -

•Push the Alarm /Display button to silence alarm
