1. The system must have a dedicated sea water inlet to guarantee a solid ow of water to the
system. The inlet should be as low in the boat as possible and with a forward facing scoop-
type thru-hull ng installed.
2. Both the Catalina 340 Z feed pump module and the Clark Pump/Membrane module must
be installed in a well venlated compartment where temperatures will not exceed 120F
(48C). Many engine compartments exceed this temperature when underway. Warranty
will be void if the installaon does not meet this requirement.
3. Follow the wire gauge charts in the instrucons. Using larger wire than specied is ac-
ceptable.
4. If you are separang the Clark Pump/membrane assembly, please review the high pressure
tube assembly instrucons. Improper assembly will cause failure.
5. Run, test, then sea trial the complete system before assuming the system is operaonal. If
the boat is in fresh or dirty water, see Dry Tesng with an Arcial Ocean. Aer tesng,
make sure that the ush cycle operates properly. The water going overboard at the end of
the ush should only taste slightly salty and measure <1000 PPM salinity.
6. The MPC control must have DC power connuously to achieve the full benets of the fresh
water ush system. The domesc fresh water pressure must be on and the fresh water
tank level maintained. Calculate 7 gallons (12L) per ush.
7. The MPC 5000 control must be de-powered (DC power o) aer the system is put in stor-
age.
8. Spectra dealers are responsible for educang the vessel owners on the operaon and
maintenance of the system. We request that you walk through the installaon with the
customer.
9. Please have the owner ll out the warranty card or ll one out on Spectra’s website,
www.spectrawatermakers.com.

Unpack the system and inspect it for damage during shipping. Freight damage must be report-
ed to the carrier within 24 hours.
Refer to the shipping list for your system to ensure you received all of the components listed.
Do not discard any packaging unl you have found and idened all of the parts. The small
installaon parts are listed on the kit list.
Warning! We will not be held responsible for shortages that are not reported within thirty
days of the ship date.
Study the system layout diagram, component photos, and descripons before beginning in-
stallaon.
Lay out the system. Before starng the installaon idenfy where each module and compo-
nent will be placed. Ensure that there is enough clearance around the components for remov-
al of lters and system service. Make sure you have adequate tubing and hose before starng.
Addional parts may be ordered.

Thank you for your purchase of a Spectra Catalina 340 Z system. Properly installed, it will provide
years of trouble free service. Please read through the installaon instrucons and the system lay-
out prior to installing. Like any piece of mechanical equipment, the system will require inspecon
and service from me to me. Plan for service access and place the components in accessible are-
as. If you are having a dealer install the system, review the locaon of the components to make
sure that the installaon will meet your approval upon compleon. The MPC 5000 automac con-
trol system adds programmability, automated operaon, and system monitoring. Prudent opera-
on is required with any marine equipment. Always maintain enough reserve water to get to your
next port safely.

The Clark Pump Membrane Module is pre-mounted and plumbed together as a single unit to
save me and add reliability. This module must be installed in an area that maintains a tem-
perature below 120F (50C) and may be placed as high in the boat as you desire. Make sure
that the area around and under the pump does not have any water sensive equipment. Allow
access to the pressure relief valve. You may mount the Clark Pump in any posion, even up-
side down, but the salinity probe on the diversion valve manifold must always be down. Note:
If your machine is equipped with the oponal Z-Brane, see the instrucons on page 33 for in-
stalling the Z-Brane anodes. The anodes should be installed before installing the Clark Pump
membrane module.

Feed Pump Module: Mount the feed pump module on a
vercal surface, which can be up to 3feet (1.0M) above the
waterline. It is preferable to mount as low as possible. Lo-
cate in an area that allows easy access to the lter housing
and the le side of the enclosure. Place where water spills
during lter changes will not be a problem, and keep future
maintenance in mind. The feed pump has overheat protec-
on and will not operate properly at ambient temperatures
over 120F (48C).
Note: When plumbing the Catalina feed pump module, route the feed water hose so that the
front cover may be opened without removing the hose or tubing. All tubing connecons are made
using John Guest connectors, shown on page 22. Aer assembling all plumbing ngs, thorough-
ly check for leaks.

Z-Ion or Fresh Water Flush Module: The Z-Ion or fresh wa-
ter ush module (both contain the charcoal lter for fresh
water ushes, but the Z-Ion has added sterilizaon) may be
located in any convenient locaon near the feed pump
module. It should be mounted with the lter housing ver-
cal and accessible for changing lters, with 2” below the
housing for lter changes. Do not install over electrical
equipment. The unit contains the charcoal lter, a solenoid
shut o valve, and a ush water ow regulator. SEE PAGE
29 FOR Z-ION INSTALLATION AND INSTRUCTIONS.

Remote Control Panel: Can be mounted anywhere that is dry
and convenient. Cut a 4-9/16” (116 mm) wide by 2-7/8” (68mm)
high opening for the panel. Take care when roung the cable so
the plugs on each end are not damaged. Use only Spectra ap-
proved remote cable. The cable is not a standard LAN cable or
phone cord.

Installaon Basics
 Read the direcons!
 Avoid ght hose bends and excessive runs.
 Use heavy gauge wire.
 Install feed pump module as low as possible.
 Boost pump module must be installed below the waterline.
 Use a dedicated thru-hull with scoop-type strainer.
 Do not mount components over electrical devices.
 Avoid geng dirt or debris into the piping or hoses during
assembly. A small bit of debris can stop the system!
Thru-hull Locaon: The system must be connected to a dedicated 3/4” to 1” forward-facing
scoop-type intake thru-hull and seacock.
Install the thru-hull intake as far below the waterline and as close to centerline as possible to
avoid contaminaon and air entering the system. Do not install the intake close to, or down-
stream of, a head discharge, behind the keel, stabilizer ns, or other underwater xtures.
Thru-hulls in the bow area are suscepble to air intake in rough condions. Sharing a thru-hull
can introduce unforeseen problems such as intermient ow restricons, air bubbles, contami-
nants, and will void the warranty. For racing boats and high speed boats traveling above 15
knots, a retractable snorkel-type thru-hull ng is preferred because it picks up water away
from the hull.
The brine discharge thru-hull should be mounted above the waterline, along or just above the
boot stripe, to minimize water li and back pressure.
Double clamp all hose connecons below the waterline.
Avoid restricons or long runs on the enre inlet side of the plumbing from the thru-hull to the
feed pump module.
Secure the piping away from moving objects such as engine belts and hatches. Prevent chafe on
the tubing as required. Test and inspect all piping and hose clamps aer several hours of opera-
on.
Pipe Fing Instrucons: To seal plasc-to-plasc ngs, wrap 6 to 8 layers of Teon tape over
their threads. Hold the ng in your le hand and ghtly wrap the threads clockwise. For
smoother assembly, do not tape the rst (starng) threads.
Wiring
 Pay aenon to wire size or system performance will be impaired
 Perform wiring to UL, ABYC, CE or applicable standards

Plumbing Detail
Your system includes 25-feet of 1/2-inch vinyl hose with a Quick
Connect ng on one end and a 1/2-inch John Guest stem
ng on the other, both crimped on with ferrules. You will CUT
THIS HOSE and, using the ngs found in the installaon kit,
use one end for the feed water inlet hose and the other for
the fresh water ush hose:
Fresh Water Flush: Route a feed line from the domesc cold pressure water system to the
1/2-inch hose barb on the fresh water ush module. This needs to be pressurized when the
boat is unaended for the fresh water ush system to funcon properly. The domesc fresh
water pump must be able to deliver 1.5 gallons per minute (6 LPM) at 25 PSI (1.7 bar).
