Ventura MPC Dry Testing With Artificial Ocean

If it is not possible to test run the system with the boat in the water, testing may be accom- plished with an artificial ocean. Purchase enough aquarium salt to make 5 gallons (20 liters) of salt water.

Make sure that the domestic water system is powered up and that there is water in the tank. Confirm that the charcoal filter is installed in the fresh water flush module and that the domestic water line had been installed and all valves are open.

1.Open Pressure Relief Valve on the Clark Pump. Remove the green tag and spacer!

2.Close the yellow service valve on the inlet module. This will be the center location.

3.Power up the control. Bypass the purge mode by pushing “Auto Run” and “Stop” simulta- neously.

4.Push the “Auto Store” button and allow it to run a flush cycle. Do this five times to purge the storage chemicals.

5.Hook up your inlet and brine discharge service hoses per the photo and route them into the 5 gallon (20 liter) container. Turn your product sample valve, if installed, to the sample posi- tion. If no sampling valve is installed, temporarily route the product to tank tube into the bucket.

6.Push the “Auto Store” button and fill the bucket with fresh water from the brine discharge. Stop the system when it is full.

7.Rotate the yellow service valve to the service position.

8.Mix the salt to the proper proportion or use an aquarium hydrometer to adjust the salinity level.

9.Push the “Auto Run” button, allow the system to prime and then close the pressure relief valve. The system should build pressure and after several minutes start making water.

10.Run the system under pressure and check for proper operation and leaks.

After testing the system, stop and replace the brine discharge hose. Restart and drain the bucket. You can now store the system by using the above procedure for adding fresh water to the bucket and pickling the system, or using the “Auto Store” system.
