2. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

LAND INSTALLATION NOTE: REFER TO PAGES 37 and 38 REGARDING FEED WATER INSTRUCTIONS FOR
LAND INSTALLATIONS. OTHER THAN THE FEED WATER PICK UP REFER TO THE REST OF THIS SECTION
FOR INSTALLATION.
A. INSTALLATION CAUTIONS:
1. Do not over tighten PVC fittings. If threaded pipe fittings leak after installation, remove the fitting, clean
the mating threads, apply 3 to 4 wraps of Teflon tape to the male threads, apply liquid Teflon pipe sealer
sparingly, and thread the parts back together. PVC fittings should only be hand tightened without the aid
of a wrench.
2. The Sea Cock Valve [2], Inline Pressure Gauge [4] Sea Strainer [5], Rinse Clean Inlet Valve [54], Inline
Pressure Gauge [6], and Booster Pump [7] should be installed below water level. This will aid the Booster
Pump in priming.
3. Always allow hoses and tubes to enter and exit straight from the connection for a minimum of one inch prior
to a bend. If stress is placed on the fitting due to a tight bend the fitting will leak and may break.
4. Avoid skin and eye contact with the membrane packaging solution. In case of skin contact, rinse the skin
thoroughly with water. In case of eye contact, flush repeatedly with water and notify a physician
immediately. R.O. Membrane Elements are stored in "sodium bisulfite".
5. NEVER mount any liquid holding component of the system above an electrical or electronic circuit or
device. Extensive damage to the electrical or electronic device or circuit will result if water spills from the
system during maintenance and or component failure.
B. CONNECTION LINE CAUTIONS:
1. All connection lines should be as short and straight as possible using minimum fittings.
Increased length causes line pressure loss in the Feed Water line.
Increased length causes excessive pressure build up in the Brine Discharge line.
Increased length causes excessive pressure build up in the Product Water line.
2. The connection lines must not be "kinked".
Kinks in the Feed Water line cause cavitation and continual System shut down.
Kinks in the Brine Discharge line cause excessive pressure build up and damage.
Kinks in the Product Water line cause excessive pressure build up and damage.
C. ACCESSIBILITY CAUTIONS:
1. This is a simple rule: Install the system and its supporting components in an accessible manner. The Aqua
Matic system requires regular operator maintenance such as filter element changing. As with any Electro
Mechanical system utilized in the Marine environment the Aqua Matic system will require repair from time
to time. Hidden or out of reach items may become forgotten, not maintained, and cause damage to other
system components. Sea Recovery will refer any end user customer complaints regarding accessibility or
installation problems back to the installer.
2. The Electrical Control Touch Panel must be accessible for operation and monitoring of the system.
