Start-Up

Precautions before start-up

Mandatory:

Ø When using the device for the first time, after changing the filter, after the boat has

been grounded or stopped for a long time, you should flush the system using fresh

water by operating the three-way valve on the prefilter.

Purge the system for 1 minute: watermaker must be stopped and the pressure

regulator open (counterclockwise).

Ø Once the system is filled, put the valve back in seawater position.

➥

Note: If you are not going to use the watermaker at all for a month or more, we

recommend to either sterilize the membranes for storage (for a maximum duration of 6

months) or to rinse it out at least once a month.

Before starting the system back up, we recommend rinsing it out for two minutes.

WARNING!

Before starting-up, check that the valves are open

.

Starting-up the watermaker

➥Note : The fresh water yield depends on the temperature and salinity of the sea water

and the cleanliness of the 5 & 25 micron filters (in the pre-filter).

Automatic mode:

The AUTOMATIC product range is equipped with a motorized knob regulator to adjust the

pressure.

Ø Simply set the switch AUTO.

Ø The pre-pump starts, the needle on the low pressure manometer rises in the green zone.

Ø The engine has started, the pressure regulator knob will automatically run to increase the

pressure to the orange zone of the pressure gauge, then gradually adjust it until it reaches

the green zone on the pressure gauge. This procedure takes about 2 minutes.

Starting the watermaker with the Micro-Commande :

2 sec.

ØTo start the watermaker from STANDBY, press and hold the

button for about 2 seconds.

ØThe BLUE LED of the button will start to blink and the buzzer will

acknowledge the operation with 2 ‘beeps’.Upon release of the

button, the watermaker will start.

ØThe RED, YELLOW and GREEN LEDs will show the same

indication as on the control panel of the watermaker. The blinking

speed of the YELLOW LED provides feedback of the water

pressure in the system : faster blinking means higher pressure.

ØOnce the production water is of good quality, the GREEN LED will

light up.

➥Note : Too high a pressure setting stops the watermaker and turns on the red light. In

this case, decrease the pressure with the pressure regulation knob and repeat the

startup procedure.

The fresh water yield depends on the temperature and salinity of the sea water and

the cleanliness of the 5 & 25 micron filters (in the pre-filter).

Manual mode:

Follow the procedure below :

Ø Set the switch to MANUAL and press the START button

Ø The pre-pump starts, the needle on the low pressure manometer rises in the green

zone.

Ø Once the engine has started, gradually turn the pressure regulator knob to the right

to increase the pressure towards the middle of the orange zone then continue

gradually increasing the pressure until it reaches the green zone on the pressure

gauge. This procedure takes about 1 minute.

This pressure build-up procedure should last approximately 1 minute.

2 sec.

It is not necessary to rinse your membranes if you use your watermaker regularly.

Mode Automatique :

Follow the procedure below :

Ø Set the switch to OFF.

Ø Press and hold the button for about 2 seconds.

Ø Upon release of the button, the watermaker will STOP and go to

STANDBY.

Mode Manual :

Follow the procedure below :

Ø Set the switch to « OFF».

Ø You can now lower the pressure regulator knob to the left (counterclockwise)

until the needle of the high pressure gauge is at the minimum.

Ø Once the knob has come to a stop, reopen the pressure regulator knob by only

¼ of a turn (to the right).

Beyond 10 days without use, it is best to rinse the membranes before the watermaker

is started-up again (see manual rinse procedure in Appendix A3).

If watermaker is not used, the rinsing is to be renewed every month.

If the watermaker is not used completely, the membranes must be sterilized for storage (for a

maximum of 6 months).

Stopping the watermaker : with automatic rinsing of the membranes

With the Micro-Command :

To STOP your watermaker and terminate the process with an automatic rinse cycle :

5 sec.

A rinsing must be carried out if the watermaker is not going to be used for more than

10 days.

Automatic mode:

After using the watermaker, do not turn it off.

Ø While the watermaker is still running, Start turning the knob of the pressure

regulator (counterclockwise) to engage the rinsing mechanism, the pressure

of the manometer will drop.

Ø The watermaker will then start the rinsing procedure. The green and yellow LEDs

on the control panel will light up, indicating that the rinsing procedure has

started. It lasts 30 seconds. When the procedure is complete, the green and

yellow LEDs will lights off and the only remaining indicator will be the flashing

blue LED on the switch . If you don't have a mini-control you can turn the switch

OFF .

Press and hold the button for about 5 seconds

until the YELLOW and GREEN LEDs are both lit

and a long ‘beep’ is heard from the buzzer.

Upon release of the button, the watermaker will

STOP and initiatean automatic rinse cycle before

going to STANDBY.

Manual mode:

Follow the procedure below :

After using the watermaker, do not turn it off.

Ø While the watermaker is still running, Start turning the knob of the pressure

regulator (counterclockwise) to engage the rinsing mechanism, the pressure of

the manometer will drop.

Ø Once you have reached the end stop, reopen the pressure regulator knob by

only ¼ turn (to the right).

Ø The watermaker will stop producing water and will start the rinsing procedure.

The green and yellow LEDs on the control panel will light up, indicating that

the rinsing procedure has started. This should last 30 seconds and stop

automatically. The green and yellow LEDs will turn off and the only remaining

indicator will be the flashing blue LED on the ON/OFF switch , you can turn off

the system by position the switch to « OFF ».

Automatic rinsing is the best way to rinse your system because it not only replaces

seawater with fresh water, but it also washes your pre-filter and allows discharge to the

sea through the suction through-hull all dirt and debris accumulated in the filters.

Is watermaker is not used, the rinsing is to be renewed every month.

If the watermaker is not used completely, the membranes must be sterilized for

storage (for a maximum of 6 months).

Maintenance

Membranes maintenance

Over time, it is normal for the flow to drop by 10 to 15%.

If yield/output is no longer satisfactory, you should consider replacing the membranes.

The output volume of your watermaker is established within the first 24 to 48 hours of

operation. The fresh water output depends on the salinity and temperature of the seawater,

as well as on the working pressure of the membranes.

Rinsing the membranes can improve the yield/output.

Rinsing frequency of the membranes

It is therefore not necessary to rinse the membranes after each use. Rinsing them too often

can lead to premature deterioration of the membranes.

There are two methods to flush the system: one manual and the other automatic.

Both methods use the water in the boat's tanks.

It is necessary to rinse the watermaker if it is not going to be used for several days.

➥

Reminder: All flushing procedures should be done with the motor/pump block off.

The biggest enemy of membranes is pressurized fresh water.

WARNING!

In case of risk of frost, we recommend emptying the flowmeter

located on the control panel, disconnect the output pipe (blue)

and blow or inject air into this pipe while alternating pressing

on the small button of the solenoid valve located at the back

of the control panel. You should also protect your membranes

against the cold using blankets or insulation.

Manual Rinsing Procedure :

The valve is in the seawater position for use in desalinization mode.

The valve is in the closed position, to change the filter cartridge (see Appendix 4)

or isolate the water circuit.

The valve is in the fresh water position for manually rinsing the circuit with fresh

water or for performing sterilization (see below).

Your DESSALATOR® is equipped with automated rinsing, here is the

procedure to follow if you choose manual rinsing

Normal position normale :

For manual rinsing, tilt the handle of the 3-way valve upwards to the fresh water

position (see below), let the circuit rinse for approximately one minute then reposition

the valve downwards to the sea water position (see below).

Manual rinsing position :

Manual rinsing and sterilization:

Place the valve handle on the fresh water

position
