INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

NOTE: LAND INSTALLATION
Refer to Section 5.7 regarding feed water
instructions for land installations. Refer to
the rest of this section for installation.
All mounting surfaces must be flat in order to avoid
warping of brackets and frames. Any damage caused
by attaching the system or its components to an uneven
surface is attributed to improper installation, is the
liability of the installer, and is not covered by the
Sea Recovery warranty. Grind flat or use appropriate
shims on uneven surfaces to ensure that mounting of the
system components does not cause bending or warping.
Refer to System P&ID in Section 3.
5.1

SYSTEM CONTROL BOX

PLACEMENT AND SECURING THE SYSTEM CONTROL BOX
The System Control Box must be placed in a location
that allows access for operation and maintenance.
Allow access to the bottom side of the control box for
electrical wire attachment. Ensure that the Touch Pad is
reachable and readable.
The Control Box is mounted in place with 4 supplied
rubber isolation mounts. Four threaded bolts and four
sheet metal screws are provided for attachment.
Set the Control Box in place onto a flat surface and
mark the mounting holes.
Move the Control Box out of the way and drill the
appropriate hole depending on which hardware will be
used. Place the Control Box over the drilled holes and
attach the rubber isolation grommet under the frame at
each of the 4 mounting holes. Place the mating rubber
isolation grommet over the top of the frame hole
and attach with the appropriate supplied washers,
and bolts or screws.

COMPONENTS

COMPONENT MOUNTING
Do not connect the water lines or electrical lines to the
components until each of the components are in place
and secure. After all components are in place and secure
visually inspect the layout to ensure that the plumbing
hoses and tubes will connect kink free, in short and
straight segments, and will avoid heat and abrasions
from surrounding surfaces.
1. Attach the supplied Inlet Connection to the Sea
Cock Valve and rotate it towards the location of the
Sea Strainer Inlet.
Aqua Matic Modular 450-1800
2. Allow sufficient space between the Inlet
Connection and Sea Strainer for the Inline Vacuum/
Pressure Gauge, if used.
3. The Sea Strainer is mounted to a flat vertical
surface, below water level, between the Inlet Sea
Cock Valve or the Inline Vacuum/Pressure Gauge
and Rinse Clean Inlet Valve or the Inline Vacuum/
Pressure Gauge or Booster Pump. Allow clearance
above the bowl to access the mesh screen for
cleaning or replacement.
4. The optional Rinse Clean Inlet Valve with attached
Rinse Clean Outlet Valve is mounted below water
level between the outlet of the Sea Strainer and
the Rinse/Clean Bucket or Container and the Inline
Vacuum/Pressure Gauge or Booster Pump.
Allow access for the operator to reach and turn
the valve handles.
5. Allow sufficient space between the Sea Strainer or
Inlet Rinse/Clean Valve and Booster Pump for the
Inline Vacuum/Pressure Gauge, if used.
6. The Automatic Fresh Water Flush Solenoid Valve
is mounted on the Fresh Water Filter Assembly,
below water level, before the Booster Pump inlet.
Mount the Automatic Fresh Water Flush Check
Valve vertical with the arrow pointing UP. Mounting
the valve horizontal or with arrow pointing down
may cause it to not properly function.
7. The Booster Pump is mounted to a flat horizontal
surface using the 4 supplied 1/4x1 SS Type "A"
screws. The Booster Pump is mounted below
water level to assist priming, and in an accessible
location to allow access for maintenance. Mount
the Booster Pump in an accessible location for
Seal maintenance. Keep the Booster Pump close
to the Inlet Thru Hull Sea Cock Valve, Sea Strainer,
and Rinse Clean Inlet Valve. If the Booster Pump
is mounted Vertical place the Pump Head at the
bottom and the electric motor at the top. If the
pump head is above the electric motor salt water
damage to the electric motor will occur when the
pump seal weeps or leaks.
8. Allow sufficient space after the Booster Pump
Outlet for the Inline Vacuum/Pressure Gauge,
if used. If the Multi Media Filter is installed this
Inline Vacuum/Pressure Gauge is not required as
the Multi Media Filter includes inlet and outlet
pressure gauges.
