Purpose
This manual is intended for Sea Recovery’s system technicians, technical support and training personnel.It contains
technical information and instructions for the installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of the .Sea
Recovery’s RO desalination systems are designed and engineered to function as complete, working units and are
subject to cascading failure if installation, operation and maintenance instructions are not followed correctly.Thus,
the intent of this manual is to familiarize you, or other installer(s) and/or operator(s) with each system component.
With a core understanding of the function, importance and normal operation of each subsystem component, you
will be equipped to diagnose minor problems, which, if detected early on, are typically correctable. Note that if a
minor component problem is left uncorrected, it can affect the rest of the system and lead to more extensive issues
and/or damage.
Important: Sea Recovery encourages you to read the manual thoroughly before attempting installation or
operation, as well as to keep the manual for future reference.By gaining a better understanding of your
system, you will be equipped with the knowledge to achieve optimum performance and a longer service life.
Updates
From time to time, Sea Recovery Corporation may make programming changes to the control logic.Other physical
production changes may also be made, and are tracked by Sea Recovery Corporation through the System's serial
number.
Remember:Troubleshooting and repair method results can vary depending on the information that is
displayed on the SYSTEM INFORMATION screen.
•SERIAL NUMBER: Helps Sea Recovery Corporation to determine the latest physical version and configuration
of your System, ensuring that you are provided with correct part information.
•TYPE: Tells Sea Recovery Corporation the production capacity of your System, which provides a bench mark in
diagnosing product water flow and pressure concerns.
•VERSION: Allows Sea Recovery Corporation to determine the specific sequential operation of the System based
on the programming control logic version.

Registration
Sea Recovery Corporation recommends that all customers register their System immediately after delivery to
ensure and guarantee product technical support and warranty.
Temperature and Pressure Effects
Note: Do not use this chart for brackish water systems and applications
As the sea water temperature gets higher, the pressure must be adjusted so that the System does not exceed
100% of its rated product water flow. Product water flow that is greater than 100% of rated capacity causes
premature fouling of the RO Membrane Element, which voids the RO Membrane Element warranty.The System
will also require more frequent cleaning. Please refer to the chart below for pressure adjustments.

System Description
Pre-Installation Safety Checks
Ensure that you—as the Installer, Operator or both—read and understand the prerequisites, warnings and important
notes within this topic.
Storage Prior to Uncrating
You must adhere to the following crate markings:
•DO NOT store in direct sunlight
•DO NOT store above 120ºF (50ºC)
•DO NOT allow the System to freeze (do not store below 32ºF (0ºC))
•DO NOT store longer than four (4) months without flushing with storage chemical
•Store only on base with ARROWS UP
•Keep the RO Membrane Element wet at all times
Chemical Precautions
Danger: The RO Membrane Element is susceptible to chemical attack.Take extreme caution in handling
and storing! Do not expose your Aqua Matic RO Desalination System to feed water containing chemicals not
approved in writing by Sea Recovery Corporation.
Do not connect a water line to your Aqua Matic RO Desalination System that may contain any of the following
chemicals:
•Hydrogen peroxide chloramines-T
•Chlorine dioxide chlorine
•Bromine phenolic disinfectants
•Chloramines N-chlorioisocyanurates
•Hypochlorite iodine
•Bromide petroleum products
Important: The use of non-authorized and/or the misuse of authorized chemicals will void your Sea Recovery
Corporation warranty! For example, DO NOT connect the Aqua Matic RO Desalination System's inlet to your
ship’s potable water system if it contains chlorinated or brominated water.These chemicals destroy the
copolymer components and the oxidants will damage the RO Membrane Element. In this situation, you can
use the optional Sea Recovery FreshWater Flush Accessory to remove the chlorine and bromine from
your ship's potable water system before connecting theAqua Matic RO Desalination System.
System Safety Check
Danger: Do not perform installation, maintenance or troubleshooting procedures until you have verified the
following conditions:
17

•The System's Feed Water Sea Cock Valve is closed.
•The System's main electrical disconnect switch is OFF, LOCKED and TAGGED.
Installer Minimum Qualifications
The System's Installer must have technical expertise in the following areas:
•Electrical, Electronic, Electric Motors and Circuits
•Electromechanical and Mechanical Systems
•Hydraulic and Liquid Pressure and Flow Systems
•Piping and Plumbing Systems
•Water Suction and Pressure Lines
•Thru-Hull Fitting below and above water level
Do not attempt maintenance and repair if you are not proficient in the aforementioned fields of expertise.
Warnings
Danger: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD The Aqua Matic RO Desalination System installation procedures
expose the installer to high voltage and potential electrical hazards.Technicians should only attempt installation
if (1) they are qualified electricians and (2) surrounding conditions are safe.
Caution: Do not attempt Installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, or repair of the unless you are proficient
in the fields/functions listed within the section Installer Minimum Qualifications on page 18.
Caution: The RO Membrane Element is stored in sodium bisulfite.Avoid skin and eye contact with this
packaging solution.If skin contact occurs, rinse skin thoroughly with water. If eye contact occurs, flush eyes
repeatedly with water and notify a physician immediately.
Caution: Never mount the liquid holding component above any electrical or electronic device. Extensive
damage to the electronic device will result if liquid enters device during maintenance and/or component
failure.
Important: Do not over-tighten PVC fittings.If threaded pipe fittings leak after installation, remove the fitting,
clean the mating threads, apply three (3) to four (4) wraps of Teflon tape to the male threads, apply liquid
Teflon pipe sealer sparingly, and thread the parts back together. PVC fittings should be hand tightened,
without the use of a wrench.
Important: The Sea CockValve, Inline Pressure Gauge, Sea Strainer, Rinse Clean Inlet Valve, and Booster
Pump should be installed below water level.This will aid the Booster Pump in priming.
Important: Always allow hoses and tubes to enter and exit straight from the connection for a minimum of 1
in. prior to a bend. If stress is placed on the fitting due to a tight bend, the fitting will leak and may break.
Important: All connection lines should be as short and straight as possible using minimum fittings. Ensure
that they are not “kinked”.
Important: Ensure that the power source is sufficiently sized to provide the correct voltage and cycles during
System start up and operation.
Remember: Install the system and its supporting components in an accessible manner.
