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. If the system is not used for more than five
days it should be flushed again to ensure that the water inside stays fresh and oxygenated. In
this way, the water maker can be kept ready for immediate use indefinitely.
To make the system ready for periodic fresh water flushing, put a Charcoal Filter in the filter
housing. The Charcoal filter will remove any damaging chlorine that might be present in the
flush water.
After every five days, the system has not been used, put three gallons of fresh water in a bucket.
Install the service hoses and the product tube. Put the feed service hose in the bucket and the
brine and product hoses to drain.
Turn on the feed pump and run the system until all the water has been pumped out of the buck-
et.
Charge the battery.
Remove the hoses, drain them, and stow them away in the case. Insert the hose connection
plugs in the hose fittings.
Leave the charcoal filter in the housing for next time. Charcoal filter elements are only good
for six months after they are installed. After six months the charcoal filter element will lose
its ability to remove chlorine.
