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.
2. Set up the product tubing so that the product can be sampled.
3. Start the feed pump and check for flow by inspecting the brine discharge or checking for
pressure on your pressure gauge. If there is no flow, open the pressure relief valve one
turn to bleed the air out of the feed pump, when there is good flow close valve
4. Check the product water with the salinity monitor. When it is below 750 ppm, you may di-
vert it into your container, the water quality will improve as the system runs.
5. Run the system until you have filled your container or have made enough to meet your re-
quirements for several days.
6. Monitor the feed water pressure. Make a note of the feed pressure with a clean filter ele-
ment and change the filter if the pressure rises more than 5 psi (0.3 bar).
To turn the pump on simply connect the pump into the power supply
Shutting Down
1. You will need 3 gallons of water in a container which will be used to flush the salt water out
of the system. Use only unchlorinated water for flushing
2. Put the Pump in the bucket of fresh water and start it .
1
3. Flush for 2
/
minutes or until the pressure drops on the gauge indicating that the mem-
2
brane is flooded with fresh water. Stop the feed pump.
4. Disconnect drain and stow the hoses. Put the plugs in the hose connections.
You may now leave the system unattended for up to five days without further attention.
We recommend operating the system for longer periods as you need to run the system almost
a half an hour to make enough water to flush the system and the system should be flushed af-
ter every use.
