*** Denotes optional equipment

Packing List

When uncrating, do not discard any packaging until you have found and identified all parts! Some components are
loose, or separately packaged in the shipping container.

Component Descriptions

All components supplied by Sea Recovery, both standard and optional, are described in this section along with
items required or desired by the installer. The location, operation, and purpose of each major component are briefly
explained in this section. The descriptions in this chapter are listed according to the ID numbers each component
is given in the System Piping and Interconnect Diagram illustrated on the following page.
Throughout this manual, components are followed by a number in brackets (i.e., "Sea Strainer [3]"), which refers
to the component's location in the illustration on the following page, the PandID (Piping and Interconnect Diagram).
** Denotes items supplied by installer
*** Denotes optional equipment.
Throughout this Owner's Manual, cautions are given to the technician, operator, and owner to ensure that you use
only Sea Recovery supplied components, consumables, spares, and replacement parts.

Prefiltration Subsystem

This section of the system filters and delivers the feed water into the system. The raw feed water is filtered to
remove suspended solids larger than 5 Micron size (5/1,000,000 of a meter). The pre-filtration protects the Reverse
Osmosis Membrane Element from premature fouling.
1. Inlet Thru Hull Fitting with Forward Facing Scoop ** is the point at which the feed water enters the system. It is
important that the installer utilizes a forward facing scoop so that the system receives a positive flow of water
as the boat is under way.
Caution: A flat inlet thru-hull fitting will cause a vacuum as the boat is under way, and this will cause loss
of feed water flow and cavitation of the feed water pump and high pressure pump resulting in continual
system shut down due to low feed water flow and pressure. The resulting failure of the system to remain
in operation is attributed to improper installation, is the liability of the installer, and is not covered by the
Sea Recovery warranty.
Caution: If the thru-hull fitting is placed in a position on the underside of the hull that allows air to continually
enter the thru-hull fitting, this will cause the system to continually shut down due to loss of feed water. The
resulting failure of the system to remain in operation is attributed to improper installation, is the liability of
the installer, and is not covered by the Sea Recovery warranty.
