Product Water Components

The Product Water section provides a visual indicator for the clarity, quantity and quality of the Product Water.
Post-filtration is the final step in Product Water quality control. The Post-filtration Subsystem is designed to limit
unpleasant odor and taste, adjust the pH to neutral and sterilize biological matter (which may have passed through
the RO Membrane Element).
1. Product Water T-Connector
Combines the Product Water from two RO Membrane Elements.
2. Temperature Compensated Salinity Probe
Electronically determines whether the salinity content of the Product Water is acceptable. The Salinity Pr
is temperature-compensated and provides an accurate measurement of Product Water quality.
3. Product Water Flow Meter
Electronically measures the Product Water flow rate in gallons or liters per hour.
4. 3-Way Product Water Diversion Valve (Electric Solenoid Actuated)
This valve is energized (by the Controller) into the potable position when the System produces water that m
the low salinity requirement. If the produced Product Water is un-potable (i.e., high in salinity), then no si
is sent to the valve and it remains in the normal-open position. The "fail-safe," normal-open position then d
the un-potable Product Water to discharge.
5. Charcoal Filter
Removes foul odors from the Product Water. Sulfurous odor (i.e., "rotten-egg smell") is caused when biolo
matter dies and decays in the Feed Water section. Flushing the System with fresh water helps to minimiz
odor.
6. pH Neutralizer Filter
Dissolves calcium carbonate into the Product Water, thus bringing the pH level back to neutral (i.e., at
approximately pH 7).
Note: The pH value of pure water is pH 7, which is regarded as neutral. pH values from 0 to ~7 indicate
acidity, while pH values from 7.25 to 14 indicate alkalinity. The Product Water from your Aqua Matic XL
will be slightly acidic because most of the naturally occurring, high-pH calcium carbonate has been removed.
The Product Water from your System will also be soft (for the same reason mentioned above) at
approximately 6.5 pH.
7. Ultra-Violet (UV) Sterilizer (optional)
Sterilizes at least 99.9% of viruses, bacteria and other micro-organisms that may pass through the RO Membrane
Element. The UV sterilizer is recommended if the Product Water Storage Tank is not chlorinated or treated in
another, similar manner. For additional information on obtaining this optional accessory, please contact Sea
Recovery Corporation.
8. Product Water Connector
Connects the Potable Water Un-pressurized Tank to the Product Water Hose.

Fresh Water System Components

The Fresh Water system represents the ship's Fresh Water Pressurized System. Pressurized Fresh Water is
required to supply the System Fresh Water Flush.
1. Potable Water Storage Tank
To be supplied by the System's Owner. This can be any container or existing storage tank that is suitable for
storing Potable Water.
2. Fresh Water Pressure Pump
To be supplied by the System's Owner. Delivers Fresh Water throughout the ship.
Important: To provide the required water flow to the System during the Fresh Water Flush cycle, the
pump must deliver up to 0.5 U.S. Gallons (1.9 Liters) per minute at 25 to 60 PSI (172 to 414 kPa).
3. Air Entrainment Tank
