4 – INSTALLATION OF WATERMAKER
4.1 – PREPARATION
The hull fitting and the hull valve (V0) are supplied and installed by the shipyard.
The seawater feed hull fitting (EdM) should be placed as low as possible below the water line, in an area always immersed whatever the
boat’s navigation speed may be.
The hull valve (V0) should be placed on the seawater supply pipes (internal 20 diameter Embedded steel spirale reinforcement), as close as
possible to the hull fitting.
The reject hull fitting (R) should be placed above the water line.
ÎSee installation on board in anexe
4.2 – PLACING THE UNIT
¾The Hydraulic amplifier and membrane: The main module should be bolted onto a rigid surface. The main module can be
installed in either vertical or horizontal position.
¾Seawater intake: The through-hull must correspond to the size of the hoses, as specified in the installation diagram. The through-
hull must be installed as deep as possible, towards the middle of the boat. Extra care must be used if the Watermaker is operated
while the boat is moving because of the risk of running dry or having the pump cavitating.
¾The sea strainer: The sea strainer should be near to the hull valve and imperatively fully charged with seawater.
¾The 5µ filter: The filter should be installed using the provided support, vertically against a wall. If necessary, they can be slightly
tilted.
¾The auxiliary tank: This auxiliary tank (bucket) is used for rinsing, cleaning and preservation operation. See "Watermaker
shutdown".
¾The low pressure pump (LP): The Low Pressure pump (LP) should be installed between the sea strainer and the 5µ filter and
below the water line (at least 200mm) to avoid any trapped air. If this instruction is not followed, we cannot guarantee the good
operation of the unit.
4.3 – ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- The AQUA-BASE unit is equipped with a circuit breaker ensuring its protection and security. This doesn’t ensure the
protection of your installation, which should be equipped with devices conforming to the current legislation.
- No other equipment should be fed from the AQUA-BASE UNIT box.
- Check beforehand that the unit voltage corresponds with the network.
If the wire is > 10m : contact your dealer
Warning : A decrease of wire section or an increase of length
create a loss of voltage in the terminals of the electric motor,
and a decrease in the performance of the system
(contact your dealer if necessary)

4.4 – ELECTRICAL BOX DUAL VOLTAGE (EXTRA)
Extra electrical box dual voltage is use for functioning with 230VAC and 12/24VCC (according to the model).
Ref. Electrical box dual voltage: ESB60 24VÎ825956 12VÎ825954

For installation, please refer to the technical documentation supplied with the dual voltage supply.
4.5 – ASSEMBLING THE FITTINGS AND PIPES
Assembling the fittings.
The fittings must be absolutely clean. Clean the fitting and its housing beforehand by removing any remaining
scraps of Teflon.
Wind Teflon round the fitting thread, turning clockwise (see the picture).
Place the fitting in its housing and tighten by hand.
Ensure tightening with a slight turn of a spanner.
Assembling of pipes.
The cut, using a cutter; should be clean, without mistakes and perpendicular to the axis of the pipe.
The hoses used must be resistant to 2 bar or 20 bar minimum (see page 15). If needed, SLCE can supply
the following references 717303 (hose 19x27), 717276 (hose 8x14) and 717361 (hose reinforcement 20x27) SLCE.
The produced water pipe (F) is connected to the upper part of the tank and should not touch the water.
Don’t put a valve on this production pipe (because there is no rise in pressure); if a valve is installed on this tank, then it must be
always open (water must be able to pass freely into the tank).
Do not immerse the piping into the tank to avoid a "siphon" effect
when stopping the watermaker.
The cleaning pipe (B4) is long enough to be immersed in an auxiliary tank (10 litre tank)
placed on the ground, during membrane cleaning operation.
The pipe (A3) will be placed preferably lower than the auxiliary tank (or bucket) to enable the pump to
start easily.
To assemble a pipe on its fitting, proceed as shown on the figure:
1- Place the hose clamp, without tightening, then place the pipe on the fitting,
2- Slide the hose clamp to the fitting level and tighten it,
3- To dismantle the pipe, slide the clamp with the help of a screwdriver, then free the fitting tube.
Notice: SLCE is not liable for any flexible hose breakage problem between the booster pump outlet and the exchanger inlet, if the flexible
hose used has not been validated by our technical service.

\\Serveurslce3\DAO\Etude-3d\Aquaset\0-DOSSIER TECHNIQUES\1-sw-plaisance\ESW\09- Manuels Utilisateur\DOC UTILISATEUR ESB FRUKES 2012-11-K.doc VERSION 2012-11-K FR/UK/ES Page 18/39
B – THE LP PUMP
1 – LP PUMP INSTALLATION
The booster pump must be installed 200mm below the water line, between the hull valve and the filter 5µ (as indicated in Fig. installation on
board in Appendix).There should be no air accumulation.
Essential to use the pipe provided by SLCE respecting the diameters and type of hose (see installation drawing board 110121-08).
If the pump is placed too far or too high compared to the hull fitting, cavitation is possible. Cavitation produces jangling that might completely
destroy the pump.
This type of LP pump prohibits operation without water. It’s important that the pump must be installed below the water line,
between the hull valve (V0) and the filter 5µ (4).
Some examples of LP pump installation:
- The pump is imperatively at 200 mm below the water line,
- The hull valve (V0) should be placed below the LP pump,
- The rising line should be installed above the LP pump, so as to avoid air accumulation or trapped air.

C – STARTING THE WATERMAKER
1 – FIRST START-UP
Carry out this procedure when the watermaker is started for the first time or during restart after a general stop of many days. (Notably,
following a preservation procedure: biocide in the membranes)
Carrying out the start up procedure, and then returning the report form located at the end of this booklet to the factory (duly
completed, dated and signed) is MANDATORY FOR THE APPLICATION OF GUARANTEE.Never start the watermaker in a polluted
area: oil will clog membranes and chlorine will destroy membranes (risk not covered by the guarantee).
1. Check the correct connection (pump, filter…) and the tightening of all water system fittings.
2. Check the presence of the 5µ cartridge in the filter (not clogged).
3. Check tightening of electrical connections.
4. Check that the electrical voltage supplied corresponds with that of the AQUA-BASE unit, and that the available power-supply is
sufficient.
5. Open the seawater inlet valve (V0) and the reject (R).
6. Put the valve (1) in seawater-supply position and the cleaning valve (11) must be in the reject position (back to the sea).
7. Open the air bleed valve (7) of the hydraulic amplifier (6).
8. Rotate the production valve (12) to the reject position (valve in reject position).
9. Put the unit ON by opening the main breaker on "ON" (1).
10. Once the unit is purged of air, the seawater must be able to circulate freely without air bubbles.
DRY OPERATION FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS WOULD IRREVERSIBLY DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Leave the prefiltration and the amplifier working for 5 minutes, shut the air bleed valve (7). The pressure increases progressively in
the system up to 40 / 65 bar (depends version), the production of fresh water is stable after a few minutes.
12. During the first 10 minutes the produced water is brackish, the produced water must be rejected during this period to eliminate any
trace of biocide present in the membrane and the unit (storage manufactures). At the end of 10 minutes, rotate the production valve
(12) position to route fresh water to the watertank.
13. Report the start-up operations on the form found at the end of the book in appendix. Return the copy back to the factory
2 – NORMAL STARTING
1. Open the hull seawater valve (VO) and the reject (R).
2. Check that the strainer (2) and the 5µ filter are not clogged.
3. Put the inlet valve (1) towards the pump and the cleaning valve (11) in reject position.
4. Rotate the production valve (12) to the reject position (valve in reject position).
5. Put the unit ON by opening the main breaker on "ON" (1). (If there is no brine rejection and seawater circulation, start again by
bleeding the system: bleed the pump and the hydraulic amplifier).
6. The LP pressure has to be between 5 and 10 bar, check the AQUA-BASE unit is operating (HP pressure between 40 and 65 bar)
and the production water is operating.
7. After a few minutes, rotate the production valve (12) to the production position to route fresh water to the watertank.

\\Serveurslce3\DAO\Etude-3d\Aquaset\0-DOSSIER TECHNIQUES\1-sw-plaisance\ESW\09- Manuels Utilisateur\DOC UTILISATEUR ESB FRUKES 2012-11-K.doc VERSION 2012-11-K FR/UK/ES Page 20/39
3 – STOPPING THE WATERMAKER
There is a different procedure after a stop:
-Rinsing: Ensure rinsing of the membrane with fresh water (recommended at every stop) and increase the membrane life : carry out
a rinsing when the watermaker is stopped for 2 weeks maximum.
-Cleaning: Ensure quality of the membrane performance after chemicals cleaning : carry out a cleaning every year (or each 1000
Hours).
-Preservation: Ensure preservation of the membrane with the biocide solution, it is required when the watermaker is stopped for
more than 2 weeks, preservation solution should be renewed every year.
-Wintering: Carry out cleaning and preservation of the watermaker (for a long term period of non-use, clean and renew the
preservation solution every year).
3.1 – SIMPLE STOP
-Turn OFF the unit by closing the main breaker on "OFF" (0).
-After stop of the unit, shut the hull valve (V0).
NB: It is strongly advised to carry out fresh water rinsing each time you stop theunit, this guarantees the longevity of the
membrane and avoids oxidation of metal parts by electrolysis.
If the unit is stopped for a short time (less than 2 weeks) proceed with rinsing (See 3.2).
If it is stopped for a long time, proceed with preservation (See 3.3).
3.2 – STOPPING WITH FRESH WATER FLUSH
Fresh water flush should be carried out before stopping the unit (< 2 weeks). In case of a long stop period, proceed with the
preservation operation.
1. Turn OFF the unit by closing the main breaker on "OFF" (0).
2. Take 10 liters of water from the principal tank, fill the auxiliary tank (bucket) (without chlorine because can damage the membrane).
3. Position the inlet valve (1) so as to take water from the auxiliary tank (bucket) and direct it towards the LP pump.
4. Put the cleaning valve (11) in reject position.
5. Put the production valve (12) to reject position.
6. Put the unit ON by opening the main breaker on "ON" (1). Check the level of water in the auxiliary tank (or bucket).
7. Turn OFF the unit by closing the main breaker on "OFF" (0) before the auxiliary tank (or bucket) is empty to avoid air accumulation.
8. When pump is stopped, shut the hull valve (V0) and check valves position (initial position).
3.3 – STOPPING WITH PRESERVATION
BEFORE THE PRESERVATION PROCEDURE, DO A MEMBRANE RINSING (See 3.2)
Fresh water preservation requires the use of an auxiliary tank (or bucket), which should be perfectly clean and FREE OF ANY
TRACES OF GREASY SUBSTANCES. Preservation should imperatively be carried out before stopping the unit over a long period
(more than 2 weeks).
1. Use the preservation liquid (BIOCIDE) - reference AQUA-BASE, Ref. 752002-20.
2. Turn OFF the unit by closing the main breaker on "OFF" (0).
3. Take 10 liters of water from the principal tank, fill the auxiliary tank (bucket) and add the preservation liquid BIOCIDE: mix with the
water.
If the unit is to be stored at a temperature below 0°C, 20% of AQUA-BASE ANTI-FREEZE® ref.752004 must be added to the
preservation solution, during its preparation.
4. Position the inlet valve (1) so as to take water from the auxiliary tank (bucket) and direct it towards the LP pump.
5. Open the air bleed valve (7) of the hydraulic almplifier (6).
6. Put the cleaning valve (11) in reject position
7. Put the production valve (12) to reject position.
8. Put the unit ON by opening the main breaker on "ON" (1). Check the level of water in the auxiliary tank (or bucket).
9. Turn OFF the unit by closing the main breaker on "OFF" (0) before the auxiliary tank (or bucket) is empty to avoid air accumulation.
10. When pump is stopped, shut the hull valve (V0) and check valves position (initial position).
N.B : In order to avoid the PRESERVATION procedure during immobilisation of the unit, operate the unit for a few minutes every
week. It is strongly advised to carry out rinsing by fresh water every time the unit is stopped, as this guarantees the longevity of the
membrane and avoids oxidation of metal parts by electro corrosion.

6. Wipe and lightly oil the seal with food fat.
7. Reset the filter after having checked the cartridge position.
8. Screw the tightening nut by hand.
4 – CLEANING OF THE MEMBRANE
When should the membrane be cleaned?
Cleaning of the membrane is necessary once a year (see chapter D : Maintenance schedule)
In normal operation, the R/O membrane can be clogged by mineral and organic deposits, which accumulate until they cause a drop in fresh
water production quality and quantity. The membrane should be cleaned each time the quantity or the quality of the produced water changes
excessively. Before proceeding with membrane cleaning check that the change in performance has no other cause, such as:
- Low seawater temperature,
- Filter clogged, water system badly drained, leading to lack of water at the pump,
- Inefficient operation of the HP pump: leaks, wear,...
Cleaning of the membrane can only be carried out when it’s inside the pressure vessel. Never take a membrane out of its
pressure vessel.
How should the membrane be cleaned? Î See the 3.4 – Wintering procedure « Cleaning »
In case of long term wintering, proceed with preservation operation.
NOTA : Membrane cleaning can be done in the factory or by your agent in a more thorough way, on a specialised bench. Contact
your agent or the factory directly.
When should the membrane be replaced?
A membrane has a lifetime of about 5 years. Then, as the plastic materials harden, the pores retighten and production will decrease. Then,
you must replace the membrane. If the membrane has accidentally taken in fuel or oil, it must be replaced. The membrane is one of the more
fragile elements of the watermaker, it is necessary to take care of them by respecting the maintenance requirements.
To replace a reverse osmosis membrane, please contact us directly or through one of our dealers, to obtain the membrane replacement
specification sheet, by telling us the serial number of the membrane.
