Feedwater salinity: up to 50.000 ppm TDS ( NaCl )

Feedwater pressure: 0,1 – 1,0 Bar

Working pressure: 35 – 65 Bar

Feedwater temperature: 0.5°C - 45°C (32,0 – 113 ° Fahrenheit)

Energy consumption: 5 - 7 Amps./230V (80l – 210l)

Feedwater flow: 12-30 ltrs./Minute


3. The reverse osmosis principle Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems, which are being used worldwide today, are one of the rapidly

growing technologies. Osmosis can be observed in nature, like vegetables absorbing the water

from the soil or kidneys distinguishing blood from urine. In the RO systems, fresh water is

gained by percolating minerals from the sea water getting through membranes with pinholes in

size of 1/1000 of micron, that is a molecular sieve, under high pressure (55-60 bars). Totally

dissolved solids (TDS) are thrown out of the system with a salty solution that can not get

through the membranes. The system is designed to reduce the salinity by 99%. The water

procuded on figure of 380 ppm in the Aegean Sea (salinity rate: 38000 ppm) is potable. The

water produced is disinfected from any microbe or viruses. According to World Health

Organization standards water with a TDS level of less than 700 ppm is drinkable. Tap waters in

many of theAegean Sea cost regions are higher than 1000 ppm.

IN

Mount the boost pump below the waterline.

The pump has to be mounted in horizontal position.

The electrical installation should only be done by a professional electrician according to the

local regulations with regards to safety. Therefore electrical installation materials are not

supplied. It is essential to properly ground all components in contact with electricity.

Connect the boost pump with the PVC hose at the intake and the outtake side.

7.4 Prefilters

The prefilters are installed on the machine. They can be placed elsewhere. If so, follow the following steps: Assemble the prefilter(s) in an easily accessible place. Place the 20 Micron prefilter in the first cartridge and the 5 Micron filter in the second cartridge. Connect the prefilters to the boost pump at the intake side and to the high pressure pump at the outtake side.

7.5 Flush filter

The flush filter is installed on the machine. They can be placed elsewhere. If so, follow the following steps: Install the active carbon filter

housing at a serviceable location in between your freshwater system pump and the high

pressure pump. Use the delivered 10mms hose for the pipework. Connect the 2-way valve

cable to the control cabinet of the watermaker.

7.6 Watermaker

Place the watermaker at a deep, cool location. Connect the following hoses:

Seawater feed hose: Connect the delivered ¾” hose to the intake at the pump.

Product water outlet: Connect the product water outlet with your tank (10mms hose)

Flush intake: Connect your tank with the flush inlet at the high pressure pump (10mms hose)

7.7 Membrane(s)

The membrane housing(s) is (are) supplied pre-assembled backside of the watermaker rack.

Alternatively, the membranes can also be decreased and mounted at a suitable location.

The membrane is sealed within its housing by plugs at both ends. Inside is a small

amount of conservation liquid to keep the membrane moist and prevent bacterial growth.

The shelf life of the liquid, under best conditions, is one year. We recommend you install

and use your watermaker as soon as possible.

7.8 Electrical connections

Your system comes with all necessary cables which have been delivered connected as far

as possible. Further installation material and material for the sizing of the electrical

connections is not included. The electrical installation should only be done by a professional

electrician according to the local regulations with regards to safety. Therefore electrical

installation materials are not supplied. It is essential to properly ground all components in

contact with electricity.

15 Amp. Fuse has to be installed on site – this is not included in scope of delivery

Improper wiring extinguished the guarantee.

Connect all cables as follows:

- Connect the power supply cable to the power source.

- Connect the boost pump to the switchboard of the watermaker

Make sure, that the power supply is shut-off while installation of the electric connections.

8. Operation

The reverse osmosis membrane has a preservation solution, that may cause irritation of

the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the product water is allowed to be consumed earliest after

a half-hour running time.

Do not operate the system using contaminated feed water sources (oil, chlorine or other

chemicals).

8.1 Electric contol components

Remote control unit can be connected by RS435 ethernet cable.

8.2 First System Start

- Open the seacock

- Make sure that the watermaker is connected to the power supply

- Push “Start” button and run the system without pressure (turn pressure knob clockwise).

Remove all air in the system.

- Never allow any leaks in your hose or tube connections

8.3 System Stop

- Push “Stop” button. The system will stop

- The “Flush” indication will start to BLINK and the automated flush will start after every use.

8.4 Automated Flush

The following steps must be followed, so that the automatic flush works:

- 230V Power supply must be switched ON

- Boats`s fresh water tank needs be filled with fresh water (ony flush cycle requires at

least 5 liters water)

- Boat`s pressure system needs tob e switched on

The flush cycle automatically starts after every product cycle and runs 4 minutes. During flush

sequence, the Flush indication lamp is flashing.

If the unit is not in use or during absence of the user, the flush cycle is repeated

once every 5 days fully automated. Make sure that the unit is connected to a 230V

Volt power supply and switched on.

Manual override:

The flush cycle can be started manually by pushing the FLUSH button.

The flush cycle can the stopped manually (when LED is flashing) by pushing the FLUSH button.

8.5 System Shut down

The following steps are to be considered for longer shutdown periods:

- Close the seacock (recommended after every use)

- Check the sea strainer

- Put the prefilters out of the cartridges and dry them

- Flush the watermaker extensive (use the manually flush modus)

We recommend a fresh water flush of the system after each operation. It prevents the

membrane from biological growth and prolongs the life and reliability of the entire plant. Your

Water Maker is equipped with an automatic flushing device.

8.6 Membrane conservation

If your watermaker is not operated for more than 10 days, the preservation of the

membrane(s) is recommended. This will preserve the membrane for longterm storage of up to

one year

- Flush the watermaker and remove prefilters and charcoal filters

- Close the seacock

- Mix 125 grams (1/2 of the capacity of AQUAGIV storage compound #3) into the Charcoal

filter housing.

- Start the manual flush by pushing the “Flush” button

- Make sure that the flush-water does not contain any chlorine.

Now the watermaker is conserved up to 10 moth. When temperatures may freeze during

absence, add an anti-freeze. Call Aquagiv watermakers for further information.

8.7 Cleaning of the membrane(s)

Your 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


watermaker. Increased amounts of fouling without proper cleaning of the membrane will

reduce the performance of your water maker. A drop in production of approximately 10% is

normal and expected during the first year.

The use of chemicals or cleaning methods other than those outlined in the

cleaning instructions will void theAQUAGIV warranty. Nonionic surfactants for membrane

cleaning or other chemicals not approved in writing by AQUAGIV will void the

element warranty.

Cleaning chemical #1 is an alkaline detergent. See warning label on side of the

container and observe all safety precautions on label.

Cleaning chemical #2 is an acid, a mineral scale remover. See warning label on side of

container and observe all safety precautions on label.

Do not mix different cleaning chemicals together. Do not use different cleaning

chemicals together at the same time. Mix the cleaning chemicals separately and use them

separately.

- Close the seacock

- Disconnect the intake and reject water hose and lead them in the plastic container. Re-

circulate the solution without pressure for up to 60 min. There will be no flow at the fresh

water outlet. For safety reasons we do not recommend to install a 3 way recirculation

valve.

- Mix 100 grams (1/3 of the capacity of AQUAGIV storage compound) of compound #1 or #2

into ten litres of water. Make sure that the water does not contain any chlorine. Use twice

of the total amount for the 180 litres and 210 litres watermakers.

- Start the manually flush procedure

- Repeat the flush procedure up to six times.

- Reconnect the watermaker to the connections and flush the system with fresh water

8.8 Flush interval

Flush Interval: If automated flush is activated (Fresh Water Flush light = steady on) the

membrane(s) are flushed automatically every 5 days. Make sure that you always have enough

fresh water in your tank.
