Sea Recovery SRC Aqua Matic 450-1 Owner's Manual page 153

Aqua Matic Modular 450-1800
a) The Product Water has a smell of rotten egg.
The smell originates in the Feed Water and passes
through the R.O. membrane element into the
Product Water.
Solution: Change Prefilter Elements with new
elements and Fresh Water Flush the System to
minimize the decaying biological matter.
Change the Charcoal Filter Element with a new
element.
Drain and replace the Product water in the Fresh
Water Tank.
35) pH NEUTRALIZING FILTER
The product water from the system will be slightly acidic,
approximately pH 6.5. This is normal for any Reverse
Osmosis System. The pH Neutralizer Filter replaces
alkaline, calcium carbonate, which neutralizes the pH of
the product water back to a normal of pH 7.5. The life of
the neutralizing cartridge depends on the amount of use,
amount of product water flowing through it. Replace the
element as necessary.
CAUTION: Use only Sea Recovery
replacement pH cartridges. Third party
pH cartridges are for use with very low
flow rates and cause excessive restriction
resulting in Product Water Line pressure
build up. These third party cartridges
will damage the R.O. Membrane Element
and components in the Product Water
Line. Damage to the Sea Recovery
System caused by the use of Non Sea
Recovery supplied pH Neutralizing
Cartridge is the liability and responsibility
of the operator and not covered by the
Sea Recovery Warranty.
36) ULTRA VIOLET STERILIZER***
The UV Sterilizer destroys at least 99.9% of any virus,
bacteria, and other micro-organisms which may pass
through the R.O. Membrane Element. The UV sterilizer is
recommended if the Product Water Storage Tank is not
otherwise treated by means such as chlorination.
The UV Lamp is rated for approximately 4,400-8,000
hours of use. When the intensity of the lamp diminishes
replace the lamp.
Problems and Symptoms appearing and caused by the
Ultra Violet Sterilizer:
Page 9-16
Prior to assuming that the UV Sterilizer Ballast and or
Lamp have failed, perform a Function Test as described
in Section 6.4.
a) The UV Lamp is not properly functioning:
The UV Lamp flickers on and off and does not
remain illuminated steady.
Solution: Replace the UV Lamp with a new lamp.
The UV Lamp illuminated steady but has lost it's
original intensity.
Solution: Replace the UV Lamp with a new lamp.
The UV Lamp does not illuminate at all.
Solution: Replace the UV Lamp with a new lamp.
Check the condition of the UV Lamp Ballast to
ensure its functionality.
37) PRODUCT WATER CONNECTOR
The Product Water Connector attaches to the Potable
Water unpressurized tank for connection of the Product
Water hose. Replace it if it is damaged or cracked.
38) POTABLE WATER STORAGE TANK**
Storage tank may be any non pressurized container
suitable for storing Potable Water, i.e. existing water
storage tank on a boat or cistern for a home. This
container must not be pressurized.
39) FRESH WATER PRESSURE PUMP**
If used, this pump must deliver a minimum of 4.5 U.S.
Gallons (17 Liters) Per Minute at minimum 25 PSI (173
kPa) If the Fresh Water Flush cycle is unable to perform
due to insufficient Fresh Water flow and pressure replace
the Pressure Pump with a pump capable of meeting the
minimum standards stated above.
40) AIR ENTRAINMENT TANK** (accumulator)
Some Fresh Water Pressure Systems rely only on the
Pressure Pump to deliver pressurized Fresh Water to
the boat or home piping. Other Fresh Water Pressure
Systems incorporate an Air Entrainment Tank. It is not
important to the System which configuration the boat
or home has. The only requirement to the System, for
Fresh Water Flushing, is that the Fresh Water Pressure
System in the boat or home must deliver to the System
during the Fresh Water Flush cycle a minimum of 4.5 U.S.
Gallons (17 Liters) Per Minute at minimum 25 PSI (173
kPa) If the Fresh Water Flush cycle is unable to perform
due to insufficient Fresh Water flow and pressure replace
the Pressure Pump with a pump capable of meeting the
minimum standards stated above.
