Page 4: Introduction
Introduction to the Versa Sea Pak 200 Originally developed for ocean voyaging yachts, the Versa Sea Pak 200 Portable Water sys- tems is both a desalinator and a water purifier developed specifically for the U.S. Military. It is capable of producing High Quality, Good Tasting drinking water from a variety of water sources including sea water, river water, lake water, or water from a brackish or contaminated well. -

Page 6: Product Piping Schematic
Product Water Schematic Product Water Outlet Make sure that there is no restriction in this piping. Pressure in the product tubing must never exceed 5psi (0.3bar) at any time, (running or stopped) or the membrane will be permanently damaged. The product water exits the membrane, goes through the Salinity Monitor, the Product Flow Meter and then out the Product Water Tube. -
Page 7: Setting Up The Versa Sea Pak
SETTING UP THE VERSA SEA PAK 200 CHOOSING A SITE Your water source should be as free of suspended sand, silt, algae etc., as possible for longer prefilter life. If making water from a bay, lake, or stream choose a location as deep as possi- ble. -

Page 9: New Systems Start Up And Testing
New System Start-Up and Testing Avoid running the system if the source water is excessively polluted or contaminated. The system should be fully run tested before being placed into service. If the location or weather prevents proper testing contact the factory for information on setting up an artificial ocean . -
Page 10: Normal Operation
Versa Sea Pak Operation Normal Operation from a Large Body of Water If the system has been pickled or stored or contains cleaning compounds, use the “New System Startup” procedure. 1. Any source of oil free feed water not saltier than sea water may be used. Do not use water containing large amounts of heavy metals, such as mine tailing runoff. - Page 11 Versa Sea Pak Operation Purifying Fresh or Brackish Water From a Tank or Well If the system has been pickled or stored or contains cleaning compounds, use the “New System Startup” procedure. 1. Fill the tank if necessary. Extremely hard water may cause scale buildup, requiring more frequent cleaning.
- Page 12 Versa Sea Pak Operation Purifying Salt Water From a Container If the system has been pickled or stored or contains cleaning compounds, use the “New System Startup” procedure. 1. Set up a system to supply feed water to the container 2.

Page 13: Short Term Storage Procedures
Short Term Storage Fresh Water Flush The purpose of the fresh water flush is to replace the sea water in the system with fresh water whenever the system is not operating. The system will last longer and operate better if it is al- ways kept filled with fresh water between uses. -
Page 14: Long Term Storage
Long Term Storage Procedures The Versa Sea Pak is best run continuously. When not in use, biological growth in the mem- brane is the leading cause of membrane fouling. A warm environment will cause more growth than a cold environment. If the system is to be left unused for more than five days, perform the following storage procedure. -
Page 15: Winterizing
Storage and Winterizing with Antifreeze The system can be stored for periods up to one year in any climate using this procedure. 1. Make 3 gallons of chlorine free fresh water into a bucket. Perform a fresh water flush as described in the normal operation section. -
Page 16: Maintenance
Clean out the housing bowl, reassemble the housing with a new 5 micron filter element. Leave dry until next startup. Use only Darley approved filters or you may void your warranty. The filter may be cleaned several times by soaking it in water in a bucket. Occasionally, lightly lube the filter housing O-ring with silicone grease. -
Page 17: Membrane Cleaning
Colloidal Metals and Metal Oxides are very difficult to re- move. If the membrane fails to respond to both cleanings, this is an indication of another problem with the system, or that it is time to replace the membrane. Contact W.S. Darley & Company before removing a membrane. - Page 18 Note: Procedures are the same for the Storage-2 and Storage-3 cleaners Cleaning compound (Storage-2 or Storage-3) must be mixed with fresh water at a ratio of 1 con- tainer of compound to 3 gallons (12L) of unchlorinated water to have the proper solution. About two gallons (8L) of water is already present inside an Versa Sea Pak system.

Page 19: Suggested Spares
Suggested Spares Short term use, weekends etc. We suggest a basic cruise kit A. This kit consists of six 5 micron filters, and 2 Storage-1 chemicals. Use for 2 to 6 months at a time. Two basic cruise kits, one replacement feed pump head. Longer than 6 months Additional filters, Offshore Cruising Kit consisting of hydraulic intensifier seals, O-rings, tools and membrane cleaning chemicals. - Page 20 Troubleshooting Versa Sea Pak 200 Symptom Cause Remedy Feed pump runs but no pressure Feed pump air locked Open pressure relief valve to bleed the air then close to start Pressure relief valve open Close valve Feed pump starts but shuts down on Prefilter excessively clogged Change filter high pressure...
- Page 21 MISC-1 DWYER FLOW METER SERVICE The mechanical flow meter used on our manual watermakers can be opened for cleaning if it gets hard to read, or if the little ball in the flow meter is stuck at the bottom. If the ball is stuck, first try giving it a tap to break it loose.

Odors in the product water can also be eliminated by adding a charcoal filter in the product water line. W.S. Darley & Company offers a product water filter kit. More on this subject is available on our website at www.purifiresystems.com... - Page 23 OP-3 CHEMICALS 101 The Versa Sea Pak use four types of chemicals: Storage-1, Storage-2, Storage-3, and propylene glycol antifreeze. NOTE: Never use any chemicals with the system pressurized! Always open the pressure relief valve turn. Always purge a system containing chemicals for at least 20 minutes unpressurized before pressurizing and making water.
- Page 24 PF-2 CHARCOAL FILTERS The function of the charcoal filter element (part no. FT-FTC-CC) is to remove any chlorine in the fresh water flush water supply. The reverse osmosis membrane can only handle small amounts of chlorine for short periods without damage. If the fresh water flush water contains chlorine, the membrane will be exposed to it for days at a time and the membrane will begin to produce high salinity product.
- Page 25 MISC-3 ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE The Versa Sea Pak is supplied with a pressure accumulator tank, (part no. PL-ACC-TK) to be installed in the feed water line between the prefilters and the hydraulic intensifier. The purpose of the feed line accumulator is to reduce the spikes in the feed pressure caused by the cycling of the hydraulic intensifier.
- Page 26 SF-1 SHURFLO PUMP WON’T RUN If the pump has power to it (the fan runs), but the pump itself won’t run, the first thing to check is the pressure switch. The pressure switch (part no. EL-FP-PS) is located on the wet end of the pump and has two red wires plugged into it.
- Page 27 ADJUST SHURFLO PRESSURE SWITCH The ShurFlo feed pumps are equipped with a high pressure cut out switch (part no. EL-FP-PS). This is the small black unit on the end of the wetted end of the pump head (part no. PL-PMP- SFPH) where the two red wires connect.
- Page 28 High Pressure Tube Fitting Assembly Use ONLY Dayco Imperial Nylo-Seal 88-NSR-1/2 tubing for high pressure connections. Carefully fit and measure the tubing before cutting with a sharp razor knife or hose cutter and remove any burrs. Minimum tubing bend radius is 6”. Route tubing away from excessive heat sources and secure from vibration and chafe.
