Once the system is in operation, clutch engaged and
the feed water pump in operation, the start button
may be released. The regulator may now be turned
clockwise to increase system pressure. It is
suggested that pressure be brought up to 250-300
pounds and a general inspection of all water system
fittings be made.
4.
Once visual inspection has been made, the
pressure regulator may be turned clockwise until
the flow meter indicates the proper amount of
product water on the flow meter located on the main control panel. A two membrane
system will produce approximately 40 gph. Pressures will vary on the high pressure
gauge depending upon temperature and salinity of system intake water.
While system is operating at full capacity
another visual system check should be made.
High pressure Test
This test should be performed briefly to insure that all
connections and systems are operating properly. High
pressure relief valve located on the Cat Pump may be
adjusted at this time (reference operation manual).
Caution: the high pressure emergency discharge line may
be hooked to a hose to run spillage into the bilge,
protecting other equipment that may be in the vicinity.
This is, of course, mandatory if the system is enclosed in
a sound shield.
Normal operation of this system will be indicated by two
green lights illuminated on the control panel. First green
light will indicate that pressure is applied to the Cat Pump,
filters are clean, feed water pump is in operation, valves
are open, and there are no obstructions. Second green
light will indicate that the water sampled is of acceptable
quality and is automatically being fed to ship's water
storage system.
To discontinue use of the system, the toggle switch on the
panel is simply turned to the 'OFF' position.
Manual Override Mode
This system is provided with a manual override mode, which allows system operation
should its primary electronics have a failure of any kind.
To activate this override, switch the toggle switch into the manual mode. Turn the pressure
regulator clockwise until the desired amount of product water appears on the flow gauge.
