Page 5: System Discription
System Description The Katadyn PowerSurvivor 80E watermaker system has several components. Refer to the System Diagram (Figure A-1) in the Appendix for an overview of the components of the system and their interconnections. Motor/Drive/Pump & Membrane Housing: At the heart of the watermaker system is a high-pressure, positive-displacement pump. -
Page 6: Product Specifications
Product Specifications Power Requirements: 8 amps @ 12 VDC; 5 amps @ 24 VDC* Construction: 316 Stainless Steel Pump Housing Configuration: Modular Rate of Water Production: 3.4 U.S. gal./hr. (12.9 liters/hr.) ±15% @ 13.8 VDC Feed Water Flow Rate: 34 U.S. gal./hr. (129 liters/hr.) Pump Weight: 34 lbs. -
Page 7: Energy Recovery
Energy Recovery Makes It Possible The upper right portion of Figure 2 illustrates how Katadyn systems are configured to recover and effectively re-use the energy wasted in conventional reverse osmosis. The waste brine stream contains up to 90% of the energy expended. -
Page 8: Installation
The most important part of a good installation is proper planning. Although the design and operating requirements of the PowerSurvivor 80E allow much latitude for equipment location, there are several cautions and suggestions you should consider before proceeding with an installation. -
Page 9: Installation Procedures
Installation Procedures Although every installation has its custom as- pects, the following general instructions should be useful to the typical installer. Refer to Figure A-1 (in the Appendix) for information on part identifica- tion and system connections. 1. Install Pump: After reading the comments on the preceding pages, decide on a location for the pump and drive assembly. - Page 10 The easiest and most commonly used approach is to tee into an existing seawater intake system. Because the flow rate and volume of seawater intake for the PowerSurvivor 80E are both extremely low, the pump can be adequately supplied by most pre-existing intakes—even inlets that operate at modest negative pressures, such as the cooling water inlet for an engine or generator.

Page 11: Using Your Watermaker
The preferred method for collecting product freshwater is to use portable jerry jugs or a separate “day tank,” which is isolated from the main storage tank. Some method should be de- vised for testing the product freshwater quality at the beginning and at the end of each operation. - Page 12 • petroleum products, such as oil, fuel, thinners, paints, paint removers, etc. • chlorine-treated water (for example, most “dockside” water) • silty water—water contaminated by fine, hard, suspended particulates • putrid water, “red tides”, or any seawater that smells or looks contaminated It is important to remember that the watermaker is designed to process clean, open-ocean seawater.

Page 13: Special Conditions
Note: Organic growth is much more rapid in warm or tropical climates. If using the watermaker in a tropical environment, we recommend a membrane preservative treatment if Before doing repairs or the watermaker will not be run again within the next three days! maintenance work on a PowerSurvivor, close the seawater inlet valve after turning off the system. -
Page 14: Maintenance And Service
This section of the Owner’s Manual describes both the routine and the long-term maintenance requirements of the PowerSurvivor 80E. Much of our knowledge of maintenance requirements, watermaker per-formance, and potential problems is a result of feedback from actual users over many years. -
Page 15: Prefilter Maintenance
Prefilter Maintenance Background: Maintaining a healthy watermaker largely involves taking proper care of the prefilter assembly and seawater intake plumbing. Failure to do so is the most common cause of the two most frequent types of watermaker “failure” we hear about: (1) producing diminished or no freshwater output, or (2) producing “bad-smelling”... -
Page 16: Membrane Storage, Preserving & Cleaning
1. Unscrew the prefilter housing, remove the dirty Warning: If you purchase after- prefilter element, and discard the water in the market filter elements, be certain bowl. Do not lose the large o-ring at the top of they are made from polyester fibers. the bowl. - Page 17 In temperate climates, the maximum period of time the watermaker should be stored without preserving the membrane is approximately one week. In hot or tropical climates, the watermaker membrane should be preserved if it will not be used within the next three days. Follow these directions to preserve the membrane of your watermaker: 1.
- Page 18 The only indication that the membranes might benefit from cleaning is a substantial reduction in the quantity of product freshwater output, all other factors being normal (e.g., battery voltage, salinity, seawater temperature). The best way to detect such a problem is by keeping an accurate log of product freshwater output at known battery voltages.

Page 19: Seal Replacement
The standard Repair Seal Kit (included in the Extended Cruising Kit—see Kits and Accessories) is available from Katadyn and most marine retail stores. It includes a complete set of replacement seals and other components for all user-serviceable parts of the watermaker. - Page 20 Disassembly: 1. Before beginning disassembly, run the watermaker and stop it when the piston shaft is at its farthest point of travel away from the pump (toward the drive assembly). This provides enough room for sliding the rubber boot back toward the pump in Step 3. 2.
- Page 21 Refer to Figure R-4. This completes the disassembly of all user- serviceable parts of the Katadyn PowerSurvivor 80E watermaker.
- Page 22 Reassembly: Before you begin reassembly of the watermaker, clean all parts using clean, lint-free rags. At this time, all parts should be carefully inspected for wear or damage. Use a 10x magnifier or loupe to examine the seals, o-rings and other small parts. Stubborn rust stains and deposits on metal parts may be cleaned with a soft-metal wire brush (e.g., stainless steel or brass).
- Page 23 3. With its cross side facing down (facing the valve seat), lower a new poppet valve into the bore for the reject check valve. The poppet valve should be level and in the center of the valve seat at the bottom of the bore. Observe that one end of the valve retainers has a shallow hole that is the same diameter as the valve spring.
- Page 24 7. Refer to Figure R-8. Slide one backup washer over the piston shaft and down into the shaft bore in the pump back plate. Slide one of the shaft seals over the end of the piston shaft with its flared side (the side with an embedded o-ring) facing the pump back plate.
