Sea Recovery Aqua Matic XL Series Owner's Manual page 23

Supplies positive pressure to the Pre-filters and onward to the High Pressure Pump. The Booster Pump has a
performance curve of 85 Feet Head or 35 PSI (2.41 BAR) @ 60 Hz with a Feed Water flow of 4.5 GPM (17
LPM). The resulting pressure at the High Pressure Pump depends on the final installation configuration and
condition of the Pre-filtration elements.
5. Low Pressure Transducer #1
Booster Pump Outlet / first Pre-filter Inlet for line pressure pick up from the outlet of the Booster Pump to the
first Pre-filtration component.
6. Plankton Filter (optional)
Contains a cleanable, ultra-fine monel mesh screen. The mesh screen removes suspended solids or biological
growth, such as plankton. It also provides longer life to the Pre-filter elements and, in turn, lowers system
maintenance costs. The Plankton Filter is available as a single housing or dual housing. For additional information
on obtaining this optional accessory, please contact Sea Recovery Corporation.
7. Multi Media Filter (optional)
Contains a back-washable bed of sand and gravel. The sand traps suspended solids larger than 30 microns,
which provides longer life to the pleated cartridge, Pre-filter elements. As a result, maintenance intervals,
maintenance labor and filter element costs will be reduced. For additional information on obtaining this optional
accessory, please contact Sea Recovery Corporation.
Caution: Do not use third-party pre-filtration components! Use only Sea Recovery Corporation pre-filtration
components. Third-party pre-filtration components do not fit properly, thus causing the seams to fall apart.
They also allow bypass, which results in extensive damage to the High Pressure Pump, as well as to
premature fouling of the RO Membrane Element.
8. Dual Pre-Filter (optional)
Removes suspended solids in two stages. The feed water passes first through a 20 micron cartridge then a 5
micron cartridge. By stepping the filtration, both pre-filter elements gain longer life and require less maintenance
labor and pre-filter element replacement cost. For additional information on obtaining this optional accessory,
please contact Sea Recovery Corporation.
9. Commercial Pre-filter (optional)
Takes the place of the Dual Pre-filter. The 5 micron Commercial Pre-filter cartridge element contains 37.5 sq.
ft. (3.5 square meters) of filtering surface area. This oversized cartridge offers a longer filter-element life, which
in turn, extends the time interval between required maintenance, as well as reduces maintenance labor and
pre-filter element replacement costs. For additional information on obtaining this optional accessory, please
contact Sea Recovery Corporation.
10. T-Connector Pressure Differential Pick-up (optional)
Included with the Pressure Differential Transducer for the line-differential pressure pick-up between the optional
Pre-filtration components to the Low Differential Pressure Transducer. Depending on the Pre-filtration and
System configuration, this T-Connector may not be necessary and only one of the two Pressure Pick-Up Tee
styles may be used.
11. Pressure Differential Transducer (optional)
Used for line differential pressure across pre-filtration components. Allows the operator to determine which
pre-filtration component requires servicing. For additional information on obtaining this optional accessory,
please contact Sea Recovery Corporation.
12. Oil/Water Separator Filter
Removes oil present in the feed water.
Caution: Do not use third-party pre-filtration components! Use only Sea Recovery Corporation pre-filtration
components. Third-party pre-filtration components do not fit properly, thus causing the seams to fall apart.
They also allow bypass, which results in extensive damage to the High Pressure Pump, as well as to
premature fouling of the RO Membrane Element.
Caution: Oil permanently destroys the RO Membrane Element. It is recommended that you avoid operating
the Aqua Matic XL in oil-polluted waters if the Oil/Water Separator Filter is not installed.
13. Low Pressure Transducer #2 (optional)
Measures line pressure after pre-filtration has occurred (but prior to the inlet of the High Pressure Pump).
