Page 6: About Watermakers, Inc
Whether you call or visit our manufacturing facility you will be talking to a technician who actually builds and tests watermakers. The same goes for our field techs, each started out on the production floor building our machines. Our on-site testing lab not only tests each machine prior to leaving the plant but can also troubleshoot and repair all major brands of R.O. -
Page 7: System Overview
World Health Organization standards for potable water. System Overview This manual covers the entire WMS/WMSQ Series of watermakers. All of the machines in this series are made up of the same ten (10) basic components. The size and configuration of each component will vary but the function and name will remain the same throughout this manual. -
Page 8: Model/Serial Number Designation
Model/Serial Number Designation Each Watermakers Inc, system is given a unique model/serial number. This is so that if you ever need to call us for any reason we can look up your specific records to determine not only your watermakers date of manufacture and configuration, but also any factory service or upgrades/modifications that have been made. -

Page 11: Before You Begin
Before You Begin The WMS/WMSQ Series are modular systems designed to use less space and provide ease of operation and maintenance. Although every installation is unique, this section contains the typical sequence of steps required to complete the installation of your watermaker. The installation of this unit must be carried out carefully in order to ensure its long life and safe operation and to avoid damage to your vessel. -
Page 12: Installation
Location and Type of Overboard Thru-Hull: Above the waterline and not shared with other systems. Electrical Connections: The main power feed should be rated to carry the full load current of the unit with the proper size circuit breaker (see system specifications in Section 1. to determine your watermakers power consumption). -
Page 13: Mounting The Components
Now that you have a watermaker and a plan, you are ready to begin. The following instructions are broken down into the major steps required to complete the installation. All of the watermakers covered by this manual are made up of the same basic components the only difference is the physical size of each component. Figure 3 shows a typical installation of a WMS-550 with hose runs. - Page 14 Note: For ease of operation the electric panel, flow panel and valve panel should be mounted so that all three are within arm’s reach of the operator. All flow meters, pressure gauges and indicators should be visible from the operator’s position. E.

3. Electrical Connections: USE EXTREME CAUTION! : While making connections to and while servicing the electrical parts of your watermaker. Disconnect all electrical power before attempting to wire the panel or when the panel is open for any reason. CAUTION! : Depending on the electrical configuration some units may be powered from two separate sources, always double check with a meter before working on or around open electrical control panels. - Page 21 If 115VAC power is available make the connections in the contactor box as shown in the drawings that came with your watermaker. If 115VAC power is not available, a transformer box such as those available from Watermakers Inc. must be installed and connected in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
