Spectra Watermakers Newport 400 owner manual Press Auto Run Button

4. Press Auto Run Button

The system will go into a start mode and the feed pump will start shortly after. The system should prime within 60-90 seconds. Check the strainer and the brine discharge for water flow. There should be no bubbles anywhere in the intake hoses and the feed pump should sound smooth after priming. If the feed pump continues to sound rough, find the reason before con- tinuing! Inspect the system for leaks.

Note: If you must stop the purge sequence for any reason, the control will default back to the beginning of the purging mode to protect your system. If you wish you can bypass the purge sequence and initiate a normal start. Pressing both “Auto Run” and “Stop” simultaneously anytime during the purge sequence will bypass the purge sequence and enable a normal start. In any case do not pressurize the system for the first twenty minutes or more.

5.After the purge sequence. The control will alarm with the message “Close pressure relief valve” - Close the valve and proceed by pressing “ Auto Run.”

6.The system is now running under pressure and making water. The display will read “purging product water.” This mode sends the product water overboard for ten minutes in case there are any residual chemicals in the membrane. Carefully inspect for leaks over the entire system! Shut down the system and repair any leaks you find.

7. The system is now in the operational mode. You may start and run your system as you de- sire. You will not have to go through the purging mode unless you “de-power” the system. If you do, you can bypass the purging mode by pushing “Stop” and “Auto run” buttons at the same time. It is best to use the Auto-Runand Auto-Storebutton to start and stop the machine. If you shut down the system from the Stop button, then use the auto store button to do a fresh water flush cycle.
