  • Page 5: Available Options And Accessories

    AVAILABLE OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES If the high-pressure pump is installed less than 1 foot under the waterline or an additional 5-micron pre-filter is added, the installation of an optional boost pump is recommended.

  • Page 7: High Pressure Pump

    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (BELT DRIVEN) HIGH PRESSURE PUMP To minimize vibration, it is best to build brackets on the motor itself, similar to alternator brackets. Use cardboard to construct a pattern first before making these brackets. The high-pressure pump has a maximum RPM of 1750. The recommended working RPM is 1450. Minimum RPM for ECHO Tec.
  • Page 8: Control Panel

    CONTROL PANEL Mount the control panel in an easily accessible location as close as possible to the membrane housing(s). SEA STRAINER Mount the sea strainer with the provided 3/4" NPT nylon nipple directly to the intake of the 20micron pre-filter housing. If an optional boost pump is required (refer to “Available Options and Accessories”), mount the sea strainer in a serviceable location in between the seacock of your choice and the boost pump.
  • Page 9 Run one of the high-pressure hoses from the output of the HP pump (O ring sealed fitting) to the O ring sealed fitting at the end of the membrane that is marked IN. A minimum hose length of 3 feet/1M is required for pulsation dampening. The hose can be coiled where needed.
  • Page 10 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION (OPTIONS) BOOST PUMP Install the boost pump with the motor up or sideways in a dry location below the water line, in between the sea strainer and the pre-filter(s). The intake is at the center of the pump. Avoid elbows/90 degree fittings in your plumbing.
  • Page 11: System Shut Down Procedure

    SYSTEM OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS The reverse osmosis membrane contains a preservative solution to prevent microbiological growth. If ingested, may cause irritation of the gastro-intestinal tract, Colic, diarrhea, or other similar symptoms. Therefore, discard all the product water for at least thirty minutes of initial operation, after storage before drinking or before use in food preparations! Do not operate the system using contaminated feed water sources (oil, chlorine or other chemicals).
  • Page 12 FRESH WATER FLUSH PROCEDURE Caution: The fresh water pressure should not exceed the range of the low pressure gauge/s. The installation of a pressure reducer may be necessary. If you don’t use your watermaker for the next three days, you will need to flush your system with fresh water or infuse a biocide solution.
  • Page 13: Membrane Cleaning Procedure

    MEMBRANE CLEANING PROCEDURE The ECHO Tec. Watermaker must be chemically cleaned when the product water output drops by 15% of the specified amount. The frequency of this occurring will vary greatly depending upon feed water. Fouling of the membrane will naturally occur during normal usage of the ECHO Tec. Watermaker. Increased amounts of fouling without proper cleaning of the membrane will reduce the performance of your water maker.
  • Page 14: Maintenance Timetable

    MAINTENANCE TIMETABLE The following maintenance timetable is an estimate of the time intervals at which maintenance may be required only. This schedule must be adjusted to the regularity of usage, the condition of the intake water, the length of time the system is exposed to seawater and the total running time following each system cleaning.
  • Page 15 MEMBRANE CHANGING PROCEDURE PRESSURE VESSEL END PLUG CHANGING PROCEDURE Remove the product port (if installed) and the high pressure fitting. Remove the two/three M6 bolts. Remove the two/tree locking plates (locks) Remove the backing plate Pull the end plug with the aid of a hand tight inserted product port in one fast pull. Should the plugs O-ring (PL01)get stuck in the groove of the pressure vessel, it will be more difficult to pull the plug.

  • Page 18 HIGH PRESSURE PUMP REPAIR INSTRUCTION SERIES EP-12-34 / EP-14-34 / EP-17-34 Disassembly sequence of the front end of the ECH O Tec. high-pressure pump. Refer to the pump diagram. Remove the three discharge valve plugs and the three inlet valve plugs (32), with a 22 mm socket wrench.
  • Page 19 Should you find it necessary to service the plunger assembly (16), you can do so by removing the tension screw (16D). Inspect all parts and replace as necessary. NOTE: In order to drive the pump from the side opposite the present shaft extension, simply remove the valve casing from the crankcase and rotate the pump 180 degrees to the desired position.
