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 .
Warning! Damage may occur if the purge sequence is bypassed and the
membrane is pressurized with storage chemical in it.
1. First check that:
The Submersible Well Pump is completely submerged in the source water
All of your hose connections are tight.
The "WARNING" tag and spacer from under the pressure relief valve has been
removed.
The pressure relief valve is open 1/2 turn.
The sampling valve, if installed, is set to the sample position.
2. Turn on the feed water pump. Check that it is primed by inspecting the brine dis-
charge. About 1.5 gpm (6 lpm) of water should be flowing with a pulsation every few
seconds.
3. Run the system with the pressure relief valve open for 20 minutes to purge the stor-
age chemicals. The system should have an open flow pressure on the gauge of about
20 PSI (1.2 bar).
4. After 20 minutes close the pressure relief valve. The pressure should rise to about
100psi (7 bar). After several minutes, water should begin to flow out of the Product
tube. If using brackish or fresh water the pressure will be lower.
5. Allow the system to run for 5-10 minutes to purge the product water of storage
chemical, and then test the product with your hand held salinity tester. When the prod-
uct is below 750 PPM it is considered potable and may be diverted to the water con-
tainer.
