The chemical and physical structure of the membrane determines which molecules are able to pass and which are not. For this reason, it is called semi- permeable, which means as much as halfway or partial permeability.

Open the seawater intake valve (no.10). 2) The pressure control valve (no.5) in the control panel has to be fully opened by turning counter clockwise. Attention: Never start your Aquatec with closed pressure control valve! Starting with a closed valve destroys the pressure reading and possibly essential parts of the equipment. - Page 7 Flowdiagram fresh water production, working pressure max. 55 bar Valve for circulation Onboard pressure water pump three-way valve product water Feed pump Valve fresh water flush Gauge feed pressure three-way valve Sea cock Pressure regulation valve Gauge working pressure Flow meter product water High pressure pump Note: The drinking water production changes according to the salinity, the temperature of the seawater and...

7-14 days. This process can be repeated as desired to avoid the use of chemicals. Caution: Prior to a longer period of shutdown (without flushing), the Aquatec has to be preserved with the chemical no. 3 (Biocide).

- Page 10 Attention: Working pressure 0 bar. Description: Prior to a longer period of shutdown, the Aquatec has to be preserved with chemical no. 3 (Biocide). After mothballing, the plant can be shut down for 6 months, depending on the environmental conditions.
- Page 11 Long term preservation (mothballing) of the plant (2) Hint: In order to avoid possible deposits in the pumps, it is advantageous after preserving the membranes to remove the high-pressure hose at the outlet of the HP pump and to wash out the system with fresh water again, this time without the connected membrane.

9) If there is no change in freshwater output, repeat the procedure 1 to 7 with chemical no. 2 (Acid). Attention: Prior to a longer period of shutdown, the Aquatec has to be preserved with Biocide after cleaning and flushing. -
Page 13: Installation Guide
Installation guide page 1 Note: The already assembled membranes can be stored for approx. 5 months in the sealed pressure tube, preferably cool, but preferably not above 20 ° ambient temperature. However, we recommend installing and using the watermaker as soon as possible. Installation of the plant: Install the plant horizontally and safe on a flat and vibration-free underlay. - Page 14 Installation guide page 2 Connection concentrate (brine) Connect the access (A4) of the plant to a thru-hull fitting on-board with a hose 1/2“=13 mm inner diameter. Attention: This thru-hull fitting has to be located above the waterline and must not be closable. The material for the thru-hull fitting may not be made of acetal.
- Page 15 Installation guide page 3 Attention: If the inlet is installed below the tank waterline chlorinated water (that possibly entered the tank at the last shore water fill up) might flow back from the tanks into the membranes. As chlorine destroys the R.O.

Dipstick full Important: Check oil level and condition screwed into of the oil of the high-pressure pump crankcase daily.
- Page 19 (brine) Demounting the membrane: For demounting the membranes, screw off the M6x20 screws each at both ends at the AQUATEC pressure vessel. (Screw tightening torque for the holding clips 3 Nm). Then take off the stainless steel holding clamps. Thereafter, pull the end caps out of the pressure pipe with a slight pull at the stainless steel-fittings of the pressure hoses and slightly sidewise movements.
