System Description

Pre-Installation Safety Checks

Ensure that you—as the Installer, Operator or both—read and understand the prerequisites, warnings and important
notes within this topic.

Storage Prior to Uncrating

You must adhere to the following crate markings:
• DO NOT store in direct sunlight
• DO NOT store above 120ºF (50ºC)
• DO NOT allow the System to freeze (do not store below 32ºF (0ºC))
• DO NOT store longer than four (4) months without flushing with storage chemical
• Store only on base with ARROWS UP
• Keep the RO Membrane Element wet at all times

Chemical Precautions

Danger: The RO Membrane Element is susceptible to chemical attack. Take extreme caution in handling
and storing! Do not expose your Aqua Matic XL to feed water containing chemicals not approved in writing
by Sea Recovery Corporation.
Do not connect a water line to your Aqua Matic XL that may contain any of the following chemicals:
• Hydrogen peroxide chloramines-T
• Chlorine dioxide chlorine
• Bromine phenolic disinfectants
• Chloramines N-chlorioisocyanurates
• Hypochlorite iodine
• Bromide petroleum products
Important: The use of non-authorized and/or the misuse of authorized chemicals will void your Sea Recovery
Corporation warranty! For example, DO NOT connect the Aqua Matic XL's inlet to your ship's potable water
system if it contains chlorinated or brominated water. These chemicals destroy the copolymer components
and the oxidants will damage the RO Membrane Element. In this situation, you can use the optional Sea
Recovery Fresh Water Flush Accessory to remove the chlorine and bromine from your ship's potable water
system before connecting theAqua Matic XL.

System Safety Check

Danger: Do not perform installation, maintenance or troubleshooting procedures until you have verified the
following conditions:
• The System's Feed Water Sea Cock Valve is closed.
• The System's main electrical disconnect switch is OFF, LOCKED and TAGGED.
