1. Unscrew the prefilter housing, remove the dirty

prefilter element, and discard the water in the

bowl. Do not lose the large o-ring at the top of

the bowl.

Warning: If you purchase after-

market filter elements, be certain

they are made from polyester fibers.

In particular, be wary of elements

made of paper materials. They look

very similar, but are designed for

use with other types of water

purification systems and are harmful

to the membranes and high

pressure pumps used in reverse

osmosis watermakers. Be certain

you purchase only polyester filter

elements of 30-micron (or finer) size.

2. Clean the inside surface of the prefilter bowl.

Inspect and clean the o-ring at the top of the

bowl. Lubricate the o-ring and the threads of the

prefilter housing with a light coat of silicon

grease.

3. Install a clean filter element and screw the

prefilter bowl back on securely.

4. If the watermaker will not be used within the

next three days, treat it with membrane

preservative (see Membrane Storage below).

5. Tie a line through the center of the dirty filter

element and, if underway, tow it behind the vessel for a few minutes. If the vessel is

anchored, hang the dirty filter over the side of the boat so that it is underwater, and

jerk/shake it up and down a few times to dislodge the contaminants.

6. Dry the filter element thoroughly, preferably in the sun. Then store it for use as a clean

filter the next time the prefilter assembly is serviced.

We do not recommend scrubbing filter elements with brushes or other abrasive tools or

materials, as such treatment is unnecessary and greatly shortens the life of the filter element. If

filter elements are cleaned regularly as directed, and not allowed to become extremely dirty,

they can be expected to last for many months of service with nothing more than the gentle

cleaning described above. Clean filter elements also help assure unrestricted flow of intake

seawater to the pump.

Membrane Storage, Preserving & Cleaning

The reverse osmosis membrane element inside the membrane housing is an expensive and

delicate component of your system. When properly cared for, it can be expected to last for

several thousand hours of use. However, improper use, maintenance or handling can damage

or destroy it very quickly.

Membrane Preservative Treatment: The primary purpose

of a membrane preservative treatment is to keep

membrane moist and reduce biological growth on the

membrane surface. Over time, biological matter can

adhere to the membrane surface, thus gradually

decreasing its effectiveness. When the watermaker is not

to be used for an extended period of time, you should

preserve the membrane. A membrane preservative

treatment is effective for approximately one year (storage

temperature <25°C/77°F). If longer storage is required, the

membrane preservative treatment should be repeated

every year.

Warning: Be sure to follow the flushing procedures described below to ensure that the

membrane preservative solution does not get into the freshwater supply.

In temperate climates, the maximum period of time the watermaker should be stored without

preserving the membrane is approximately one week. In hot or tropical climates, the

watermaker membrane should be preserved if it will not be used within the next three days.

Follow these directions to preserve the membrane of your watermaker:
