PRINCIPLES OF REVERSE OSMOSIS REVERSE OSMOSIS How Fresh Water Is Produced Reverse Osmosis or “RO” is a process where freshwater water is produced by pumping saltwater through a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis Osmosis is a naturally occurring process where a weak solution will cross a semipermeable membrane to mix with a highly concentrated solution.

SEA XCHANGE COMMISSIONING REPORT FORM System Information: Model number - Serial number - Date of Commission - Commissioned by- Installed by - Vessel hull number- First step to commissioning a new system is to look over the install to be sure everything is installed correct. This check- list must be gone through prior to powering up the system.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ELECTRICAL The XTCII Series are available in 1Φ (phase). 230 volts at 14.9 amps (including booster pump) 50/60 Hertz available in the 230-volt unit NOTE: IT’S RECOMMENDED THAT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN WIRE YOUR SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES, RULES, AND REGULATIONS. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, THE INCOMING POWER SUPPLY MUST INCLUDE A PROTECTIVE GROUND.
STORAGE OR WINTERIZATION OF UNIT Option 1: Storage with Fresh Water Flush When a system will not be used for a significant period of time (i.e. 3 months – 1 year), the best practice for storage of the system is to allow the automatic fresh water flush to operate by leaving the power to the system on and ensuring that the vessels fresh water system is ON and pressurized.
SEA WATER PLUMBING CONNECTIONS 1. Locate a dedicated sea cock to be used for booster pump supply. Sea cock should be a minimum of 3/4” with a speed scoop to prevent a Venturi effect while vessel is underway. 2. Install a sea strainer with at least a 50-mesh rating after sea cock. 3.
PRE-FILTRATION XTCII-Series systems are supplied with a 5- micron sediment filter. Change when there is a noticeable loss of outlet pressure. Ask your local dealer distributor about Pre-Filtration systems, if required. NOTE: THE SYSTEM MUST BE OPERATED IN ACCORDANCE TO FEED WATER SPECIFICATIONS. ¾”...
PRODUCT TO TANK CONNECTION 9. Locate the fitting labeled Product to Tank on left side of system. Connect supplied white 3/8” tubing from system to the inlet of the ships freshwater tank. Be sure that there are no kinks in hose run and avoid 90’s where possible to prevent restricted flow.
FRESH WATER FLUSH CONNECTION 1. Locate filter assembly labeled Fresh Water Flush and connect the inlet of fresh water flush solenoid to the ships pressurized freshwater system. Note - a shut off valve is recommended to be installed on supply line to fresh flush assembly for service.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 1. Connect main power supply to main power terminal blocks, connect power to booster pump from contactor as shown below. Ground main power supply and booster pump to grounding bus bar. Reference DWG SX0034. The XTCII-Series systems pump, and motor are available in 230 Volt, 50/60 Hertz, 1 Phase •...

REJECTION, RECOVERY, & FLOW RATES Sea Xchange XTCII-Series Reverse Osmosis Systems are designed to produce product water at the capacities indicated. For example, the XTCII 2200 produces 1.53 gallons per minute (2200/24/60min=1.53 gpm) of permeate water at the listed operating test conditions. The amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) rejected by the membrane is expressed as a percentage.
INITIAL START- UP Carefully inspect your system before initial start-up. Check that all plumbing and electrical connections are not loose or have not come undone during shipment. A User’s Manual, Test Results, and Filter Housing Wrench will accompany your XTCII-Series Reverse Osmosis System. 1.

MEMBRANE REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT Replacing membranes in the pressure vessels is an easy process if you have the proper information and tools at hand. Please refer to the following instructions when removing and replacing membrane elements: WARNING: ALL PRESSURE GAUGES MUST READ ZERO BEFORE PROCEEDING. BEFORE ATTEMPTING, DISCONNECT THE POWER FROM THE SYSTEM AND BLEED ALL WATER PRESSURE FROM THE SYSTEM.

5. Flow directions should be observed for installation of each element into their respective pressure vessels. INSERT DIRECTION INSERT DIRECTION 6. Remove one membrane element at a time from the pressure vessels, from the side of each housing. Long nose pliers may be necessary to pull the old membrane element out of the membrane element housing.
11. Ensure that you do not pinch or fatigue any O-rings while re-installing the end plug. Push the end plug on until the plug is flush with the pressure vessel. 12. Insert the four rods through the plate and fasten using a 3/8 wrench and a flat screwdriver. 13.

PREPARING UNIT FOR STORAGE OR SHIPMENT PRIOR TO SHIPPING OR STORING YOUR SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH AN APPROPRIATE CLEANER, FLUSHED WITH WATER, AND PRO- TECTED FROM BIOLOGICAL ATTACK WITH AN APPROPRIATE SOLUTION FOR MEMBRANE ELEMENTS. THE MEMBRANE HOUSING(S) AND PLUMBING LINES OF THE SYSTEM MUST BE COMPLETELY DRAINED.
HIGH PRESSURE PUMP OIL CHANGE OIL CHANGE STEPS 1. Run unit for 30 minutes prior to draining oil 2. Drain the oil out of the pump by opening the oil drain valve. Dispose of oil properly. Oil drain is on the side of unit. Drain Valve Is located under front cover.
ABNORMAL PRODUCT FLOW As time progresses, the efficiency of the membrane will be reduced. In general, the salt rejection does not change significantly until two or three years after installation when operated on properly pretreated feed water. The permeate flow rate will begin to decline slightly after one year of operation but can be extended with diligent flushing and cleaning of the system.
TEMPERATURE CORRECTION FACTORS FOR MEMBRANE Find the temperature correction factor (TCF) from the table below. Divide the rated permeate flow at 77°F by the temperature correction factor. The result is the permeate flow at the desired temperature. (See example on the next page) °F = (°C x 9/5)+ 32 Corrected Flow Rate = (Measured Flow Rate)*(TCF @ Feed Water Temp.) If a system is rated to produce 5 gpm of permeate water @ 77°...
