Page 7: Tubing And Fitting Installation And Design Philosophy
Tubing and Fitting Installation and Design Philosophy Low Pressure Fittings All low pressure fittings are “Push-to-Connect”, high grade, double “O” ring, NSF 58 certified, lead free, polypropylene G.A. Murdock fittings. The AquaMaax system comes with the push-to-connect fittings pre-installed on all components. Additional fittings are supplied for ease of installation as there maybe situations where one might need a 90 degree fitting or an additional union to route tubing for a cleaner installation. -
Page 8: Tubing Color Coding
Figure 2: Tubing Removal Assist Tool for ¼”, and ½” Tubing Tubing Color Coding The low pressure (pressures listed on chart pg.9) tubing has been color coded depending upon where it is used in the system. All plastic tubing is linear low density polyethylene tubing (LLDPE) approved for drinking water use. -

Page 10: Aquamaax Specifications
AquaMaax Specifications Production Rate: Product water production and Reverse Osmosis (RO) performance varies with pressure, salinity, and sea water inlet temperature, mainly as a function of kinetics. Warmer water molecules are moving at a faster rate than cooler molecules and this increased motion leads to a greater number of water molecules moving through the reverse osmosis membrane. -

Page 14: Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions Prior to beginning the actual installation process, please read the entire installation procedure and take a moment to consider the following installations notes to insure the best performance, life, ease of operation, and maintenance of your AquaMaax system. After reading the entire installation directions, if any questions arise, please contact us so that we can assist you in the proper installation of your system. -
Page 15: High Pressure Pump And Motor Assembly
All of the assembly inlets and outlets are labeled clearly in the manual making the assembly process as “plug and play” as possible. Refer to the installation schematic for a detailed pictorial flow chart of the assembly. As with most projects on a boat, the key to a good installation is planning and component layout. - Page 16 When selecting a location for the high pressure pump and motor assembly consider the routing paths of the two sea waterlines to and from the pump. The high pressure line needs to reach the RO pressure vessel without trimming, while the inlet sea water line can be cut to any desired length.

RO Pressure Vessel The RO membrane assembly can be mounted in any location within reach of the control panel flex lines supplied. The membrane assembly can be mounted in any orientation when a control panel is supplied as this is a pressure feed system. Control Panel Standard Option The control panel can be mounted in any location within reach of the membrane assembly due to the length of high pressure line that is needed. -

Page 23: Valving And Cleaning Assembly
Valving and Cleaning Assembly Figure 12: Valving and Cleaning Assembly The valving and cleaning assembly should be mounted below the waterline and is designed to be mounted vertically using the integral mounting bracket. Be sure to leave enough room below the assembly to allow for opening of the activated carbon filter housing for element replacement, which is approximately 3 inches. -

Page 28: Initial Aquamaax Commissioning Procedure
Initial AquaMaax Commissioning Procedure The following steps should be followed for the initial commissioning of the AquaMaax. Failure to follow these steps can result in serious damage to the RO Membranes and the High Pressure pump. The main goal of the commissioning procedure is not to actually start producing freshwater, but to ensure that the system is wired and plumbed correctly, air purged from the system, verify that the connections are leak free, and becoming familiarized with the AquaMaax valving and controls. - Page 29 The following instructions must be followed each time the AquaMaax system is started. Failure to follow these steps can result in serious damage to the RO Membranes and the High Pressure pump. 1. Open the boat’s seawater through hull and ensure that the raw water sea strainers are free of debris. 2.

Pickling and preparing for Long-Term Storage 1. Close raw water inlet seacock and perform fresh water Flush as detailed in the Fresh Water Flush procedure. 2. When fresh water flush is complete shut unit down. 3. Turn inlet selector 3-way valve on the charcoal filter assembly to the middle “OFF” position. 4. -
Page 35: Installation Of The Optional Automatic Flush And Solenoid
Installation of the Optional Automatic Flush and solenoid The “in” side of the charcoal filter will have a 12 volt solenoid fitted. The Automatic Flush System box should be mounted in a suitable place near the operating panel. Connect the wires from the Auto Flush as follows the red (positive) and either of the black wires (negative) will be connected to the boats fresh water pressure pump power circuit. -
Page 36: Shutting The System Down On Models With Auto Flush System
Shutting the system down on models with Auto Flush system 1. When you have finished making water turn the product selector valve to the “Water Sample” position. Slowly turn the “Pressure Regulating” valve counter clockwise while watching the pressure gauge decrease to 0 PSI. Shut off the high pressure pump and boost pump. Open “Product Sample Line”, on the on the charcoal filter assembly. -
