START-UP PROCEDURE OF AN Ultra Whisper System:
1. Open any auxiliary Valve within the incoming Feed Line; Outgoing Brine Discharge Line; and Outgoing Product
Water Line.
WARNING: Any auxiliary Valve in these lines damages the Sea Recovery System if left closed during starting and or
operation of the System.
CAUTION: In temperatures below 32° F/ 0° C, the fresh water will freeze and damage the components filled with fresh
water. Do not operate the System in below freezing Feed Water temperatures.
2. If the optional Clean Rinse Valves [36 & 37] are installed ensure that they are positioned properly for normal
operation. Refer to the Piping & Interconnect Diagram at the beginning of this Section.
3. Open the Sea Cock Valve [2].
4. Switch the Electrical Power Source to the "ON" position, boats circuit breaker.
WARNING: The feed water pump is a very close tolerance vane pump. It requires water for lubrication. Operating
this pump dry will damage it within 30 seconds. If feed water has drained from the pump, prime the system with water
up to the feed water pump inlet to ensure that it is wet prior to starting.
5. To start the system press the "Start" Switch.
If the system automatically shuts off immediately or if after 20 seconds of operation, this may be due to a system
fault. Look at the Touch Pad to confirm whether a fault has occurred. If the "High/Low Pressure" Fault Lamp is
illuminated ensure that the System Feed Line is primed and that there is no air in the Feed Water Line. Press the
Fault Reset button on the touchpad and restart the system. If the System fails to Start or fails to remain in
operation refer to Section 6 Troubleshooting.
6. With no abnormalities, immediately after starting the Ultra Whisper System pressure will automatically increase to
normal operating range. Refer to Temperature and Salinity Charts in the Final Section of this Manual.
7. If any abnormality develops, Stop the System and correct the problem.
8. Although the System is producing "product water", the "product water" may not be "potable" for up to 30 minutes.
The "Water Quality" Lamp illuminates "red" if the Product Water is Unpotable and "green" if the Product Water
is Potable.
The salinity of the Product Water diminishes gradually and is measured by the Salinity Probe [25]. When the
salinity of the Product Water has diminished to the factory setting the Salinity Controller [39] will energize the
"green" Water Quality Lamp and the 3-Way Product Water Diversion Valve [26]. At that instant, Product Water
will be routed to the Charcoal Filter [28], pH Neutralizer [29], U.V. Sterilizer [30] and onward to the Potable Water
Storage Tank [32].
9. Check for:
a. A constant feed water flow.
b. A consistent system pressure.
c. Leaks in the system.
d. Unusual noises or other occurrences.
