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.

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.

Note on Component Cleaning

If detergents are used to clean the System's internal, wetted components, then you must ensure that the components
are rinsed, wiped and dried thoroughly prior to reassembly. After all components have been reassembled, the
System's Product Water can be used to remove Feed-Water residue from the components' exterior surfaces.

Warnings

Danger: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD The Aqua Matic XL installation procedures expose the installer
to high voltage and potential electrical hazards. Technicians should only attempt installation if (1) they are
qualified electricians and (2) surrounding conditions are safe.
Important: Third-party chemicals will destroy the RO Membrane Element! Only use Sea Recovery
Corporation-supplied chemicals. Never use third-party chemicals, as they are incompatible with various
System materials and will dissolve the co-polymer parts. Damage to the System or its components as a result
of using third-party chemicals is not covered by the Sea Recovery Corporation Warranty.

Weekly Quick Check

To proactively address System problems, Sea Recovery Corporation strongly recommends performing the checks
below on a weekly basis.
1. Inspect fasteners for tightness (including brackets, screws, nuts and bolts).
Note: Pay special attention to the High Pressure Pump and Electric Motor, as they are exposed to heavy
vibrations.
