I.1. Installation. (See diagram Chapter I Pages 1 and 2)
To install the unit the following inlet and outlet connections are needed:
•Sea cock valve (1) with a minimum nominal pitch of 3/4” Gas for sea water
intake, which should be installed as low as possible at the bottom of the hull in
order to prevent possible cavitation problems due to air suction.
•½” Gas female thread through-hull fitting (15) to connect the internal blue tube
Ø15 that drains rejected the water into the sea.
•¼” Gas female thread inlet in the main tank for the intake of fresh water produced
•Ball valve installed in the water line pressure out of the boat with female
R ½ "Gas for water intake (18) Wash System.
•Options: Three way valve (22) for winter storage and valve (11) for a direct take
of the produced fresh water.
WARNING
It is very important to place the feeding assembly below the waterline and to check
that at least a minimum flow of 15 litres/ minute is supplied to the system to prevent
the pump from cavitation due to fall in pressure.
The rest of the components belonging to the unit can be installed at a higher level,
provided that they do not exceed a distance of 4 or 5 metres.
The membranes are normally delivered assembled inside their containers. In case
they haven’t been factory-installed, look in chapter IV for the assembling
instructions.
After all components have been placed and fixed, the unit will be ready for hydraulic and
electrical connection, which will be covered in the following sections.

Chapter I Page 4
I.2.Hydraulic connections.
The connection between the various components will be made with the tubes supplied
with the unit, as shown in the diagram in Chapter I Pages 1 and 2.
•The two suction connections between the sea cock valve (1) and the check valve
(2) will be made using the transparent Ø20 tube.
The remaining seawater circuit sections will be made with the blue tube Ø15. This is a
special tube developed to work with pressures up to 20 bar, and it is not
recommended to replace it with a different one (even with similar characteristics)
To make the connections proceed as indicated below:
•Elbow inlet (18) Vessel pressure circuit
•Pump outlet (4) and 5-micron filter inlet (6).
•Pre-filter outlet (6) and the inlet elbow (E) in the high-pressure pump (8).
•Outlet elbow (S) in the high-pressure pump (8) and the brine outlet (15).
The referred elbows marked as E and S are located in the back / lower part of the high
pressure pump (8)
Connect the elbow located in the lower part of the flow meter (12) to the to the main tank
adaptor using the blue Ø 8 polyamide tube (this adaptor is delivered with a plastic cap,
remove it before the installation).
As an optional, a three way valve (11) can be installed in the line of produced water to
have a direct fresh water outlet. It can be very useful having a direct fresh water outlet,
without passing trough the main tank, (this valve must be one that never closes the water
flow).
As a general rule, the tube sections should be as short and as straight as possible to
avoid unnecessary pressure drops, and the connections should be completely
airtight so that air does not enter the circuit during the water absorption process.

Flush cycle.
For a proper operation, the system doesn´t allow the change from the Production
function to the Flush function without pressing the STOP button. The flushing time
is programmed for a period of 2 minutes where the booster (feeding) pump is
turning at the 60% of the normal production r.p.m.’s.
Remote Control Panel. (Optional)
The remote control panel (23) shown in the Diagram on
Page 1 Chapter I consists of three buttons with the
corresponding 3 light indicator. It allows for a total
control of the system from a remote location on the
boat. The connection cable length is 10 meters.
• Pushing the button marked with the word PRODUCTION and a green LED makes the
system start to produce fresh water.
• Pushing the button with the word STOP will stop the system.

Circuit Breaker 50 A 25A 70 A 40A
These sections are appropriate to prevent voltage losses greater than 1.6% of the rated
voltage (0.2 V in 12 V DC).
A distance of more than 3 meters between the power box and the electric motor in the
low pressure pump must never be exceeded. For longer distances than the ones provided
in this table, please contact the manufacturer.
•Connect the two wires from the breaker with the corresponding power box
terminals marked as power supply (20) as indicated in scheme of (Chapter I Page
6).
•Connect the motor-pump terminals (4) with the ones marked as “Pump” in the
power box.
•Also a 4-wire 3 meter long cable is supplied with the motor, it comes connected to
the electro-valve and the pressure switch by one of its ends, this end of the cable
must be passed through the seals of the box and connected to their respective
terminals.
•Connect the control panel (21) and the head (20), using the supplied 6 meter cable
with red connectors RJ-45 (Ethernet) at both ends, taking care to connect one of
them to the plug marked as POWER STAGE. The remote control panel (23)
OPTIONAL must be connected to the plug marked as REMOTE using the 10
meter cable
•Make sure the pump’s direction of rotation is the correct one, marked by the water
inlet and the outlet, if it isn’t, reverse the polarity on the motor
connection.(Chapter I Page 6 )
As a general rule, the electric grid circuit should be properly protected, taking care
to oversize the connection cables to avoid voltage drops and unnecessary power
consumption.

ELECTRONIC 12/24 V DC CONTROL PANEL ADJUSTS
(Recommended for experts only)
FLUSH WATER FLOW ADJUST
•Turn on the system while pressing the LAVADO/FRESH FLUSH button, the blue
LED on the control unit will turn on.
•After this, each key press of the ▲button will increase the pump’s speed in one
unit, and, every key press of the ▼button will decrease it in the same way.
•Once reached the wanted flush water flow press the Stop button, the red led will
get on, after releasing it the led will flash, this means the water flow has been
adjusted.
•Switch off the system and switch it on again to return to its normal functioning
HOUR METER READING
•Switch the system on while pressing the Stop button in the control panel.
•Both green and red LEDS will flash a few times.
•Each green flash is equivalent to 400 working hours and each red flash is
equivalent to 25 working hours. The total reading of working hours of the system
is given by the sum of all green and red flashes.
•The maximum count will be 8 green flashes and 3 red flashes, which makes a
3275 hour reading, from that moment the hour meter gets self-restarted, starting a
new reading cycle.
•The green led will flash 5 times when the system reaches 2.000 hours working,
which means the pump’s maintenance must be performed.
•Switch off the system and switch it on again to return it to it’s normal functioning.
12V DC FALL DOWN ALARM.
•The system will stop if the power sources voltage drops below 10 V DC, if this
happens the RED led will start blinking at a 3 times per second rate.

Chapter I Page 9
ALARMS AND PROTECTION OF THE 12/24 V DC POWER BOX
•There is a 3 Amp fuse, it can be found under the cover.
•If the aluminum radiator exceeds a temperature of 65 degrees the red led located
in the control panel will flash, then the power box will cut the power supplied to
the motor pump and the power box. To restore the original system conditions
proceed by turning off and on the unit.
•If the maximum pressure is exceeded the red led will remain on. To restore the
original system conditions proceed to turn off and on the unit.
•Both excessive temperature and pressure will cause a failure in the system, for
that reason the first thing to do will be finding the cause of the problem.

Chapter I Page 10
I.5. First Start Up.
•Check if all connections have been properly made and if the voltage at the
terminals is the appropriate one.
•Check if the Sea Cock Valve (1) is opened. In case the optional valve (11) is not
installed, its connection to the main tank will be removed.
•Make sure there is pressure in the boat’s fresh water circuit.
•Switch on the system by pressing the “PRODUCCION” button and check that
the pump’s direction of rotation is correct, gradually increase the pump’s motor
speed with the “▲”button making sure not to exceed the 60Kg/cm
2
,high
pressure (red zone) indicated on the high pressure pump gauge (9).
•Check that pressure in the control panel pressure gauge (5) lies between
approximately 12 and 14 kg/cm
2
, and does not exceed 15 kg/cm
2
under any
circumstances (red zone).
•The high pressure, indicated on the high pressure pump gauge (9), will gradually
rise until stabilizing at approximately 45-60 kg/cm
2
.
•In the first few minutes, some air bubbles will be observed in the panel control
flow meter (12). Those bubbles come from the interior of the membrane and other
system elements, causing some irregularities in the first high pressure work
cycles. They usually go away without purging the circuit.
•Approximately 5 minutes after the start-up, the “test tank” (17) should contain
about 5 liter of water produced in model 60 l/h (7.5 liter in model 90 l/h), which
determines that the production rate is correct, press STOP to stop the feed pump,
and after that, by pressing the FLUSH button the system will activate the electro-
valve (19) and the pump will work at slower speed for about 2 minutes, stopping
automatically once finished the flushing. By that time, a significant reduction in
both high and low pressure will be noticed, due to the fact that the fresh water will
has reached the membranes. This operation must be repeated twice at least, to
clean the new membranes and eliminate the membrane preservative that may have
accumulated inside them. During the flushing, the pressurized fresh water system
on the boat must be “ON”, providing approximately a 10 liters per minute flow.

Chapter I Page 11
I.6. Start-up
•Before starting up the system make sure the sea cock valve (1) is completely
open .
•Ensure there is pressure in the boat’s fresh water circuit.
•Start the motor and check that the pressure in the low pressure gauge (5) lies
between approximately 10 and 12 kg/cm
2
, and does not exceed 15 kg/cm
2
under
any circumstances (red zone).
•High pressure will gradually rise until stabilizing at approximately 45-60 kg/cm
2
.
There may be some differences depending on the temperature and salinity of the
water.
I.7.Turning the unit off.
Before turning off the unit the system must be cleaned to prevent a compaction of the
membranes due to the biological fouling in it, proceed as follows:
•Press STOP to stop the low pressure motor pump.
•Press LAVADO/ FLUSH and the system will run the flushing system.
•At this point the unit will take fresh water from the pressurized fresh water system
in the boat. The low pressure pump must be ON, providing approximately a 10
liters per minute flow.
•For a proper cleaning of the membranes, the feed pump will work for 2 minutes
timed period, and it will be done approximately at 60% of its normal performance.

Chapter I Page 12
•The high pressure will fall to around 20-30 kg/cm2. This significant decrease in
high pressure means that the seawater contained in the membranes has been
cleaned out and replaced by fresh water. Changing the salinity and pH of the water
in the membrane prevents the biological fouling from latching on to the
membrane for a maximum period of 90 days. For longer periods see Chapter II,
Storage and Cleaning.
•As a safety measure keep the seacock valve closed (1) when the system is
switched off.
I.8. Maintenance of the unit.
•Regularly check the status of the Sea Strainer (3) and clean the mesh when
needed.
•Replace the 5 micron filter with a new cartridge at the beginning of each season or
every three months of continuous service.
•Change the charcoal cartridge at least once a year.
•When the pressure indicated in the high-pressure gauge (9) exceeds 65 kg/cm
2
(with a water temperature between 18ºC and 25ºC), the membrane should be
replaced by a new one.
•Periodically check the pressure in the accumulator (7), it should be a 8 Kg/cm
2
pressure without producing low pressure oscillations.
(An annual inspection by the Technical Support Service is recommended).

CHAPTER II
STORAGE AND CLEANING.

VERY IMPORTANT
REMEMBER THAT FOR A LONGER LIFE
OF YOUR MEMBRANE, YOU MUST
CLEAN THE SYSTEM WITH FRESH
WATER AFTER EVERY USE.

Chapter II Page 1
II.1 Storage precautions
PREVENTION OF CHEMICAL ATTACKS ON THE SYSTEM
Do not use for storage purposes, or expose the unit to, hydrogen peroxide, chloramine,
chloramine-T, N-chloroisocyanide, chlorine dioxide, hypochlorite, chlorine, iodine,
bromine, bromide, phenolic disinfectants or any other chemical element. The use of
unauthorized chemical elements, or the abuse of authorized ones, will invalidate any
warranty.
TEMPERATURE: Never expose the membrane during its storage to temperatures
higher than 50ºC or lower than 0ºC. Never store the membrane vessel under direct
sunlight. Freezing temperatures will result in mechanical damage to the system due to
the expansion of air on freezing. This will cause irreversible damage to the membrane.
DRYING OUT: Never allow the membrane to dry out. If the membrane dries out, up to
30% of production flow will be lost. It would cause irreversible damages to the
membrane. The membrane must always be kept damp.
BIOLOGICAL DIRT: Protect the membrane from biological dirt. Up to 40% of
production flow will be lost if the membrane gets dirty with biological slime. Some
production, but not all, can be recovered by following a thorough cleaning.
CHEMICAL DIRT: Protect the membrane from chemical attacks or dirt. Be careful
when using the system in ports that may be polluted with chemical products, oil or fuel.
Chemical attacks are not covered by the warranty.
STORAGE: The inside of the membrane, which is dark and damp, is an excellent place
for microorganisms to reproduce. When the membrane is used, tested or operated
intermittently, it is exposed to microorganisms. Up to 50% of production flow can be lost
if the membrane is not stored correctly.
