Plan Ahead for Manual Operation
The PowerSurvivor 40E watermaker was never intended to be part of a vessel’s “Abandon
Ship” equipment. Its capability for manual operation is useful when normal ship’s power is
unavailable. If you perform a typical installation, it is unlikely that you would have time to remove
the watermaker when abandoning ship. Katadyn produces other desalinators that are
specifically designed to be part of your survival equipment. Please visit our website for
information on the Survivor 35 and Survivor 06 watermakers, both of which are intended for
inclusion in survival kits.
Before finalizing your installation plans, consider how you would manually operate your
watermaker, should the need arise. You will require a source of seawater input and a place to
drain the reject brine, as well as a product freshwater collection container. Typically, the
watermaker will have to be moved to a location convenient for manual pumping. There are two
common approaches to implementing such an arrangement:
During your installation, leave adequate service loops in the three hoses to
allow the watermaker to be moved to a nearby location convenient for manual
operation. This arrangement eliminates the need to disconnect any of the
hoses.
Prepare a separate set of hoses to be used during manual operation
(recommended). This approach allows the watermaker to be moved to any
location for manual operation.
More than likely, the plan you choose will be dictated by the location of the space available. In
any case, consider how you would manually operate your watermaker before finalizing your
installation plans.
Installation Procedures
Although every installation has custom as-
pects, the following general instructions
should be useful to the typical installer. Refer
to Figure A-1 (in the Appendix) for
information on parts identification and system
connections.
1. Install Pump: After reading the
comments on the preceding pages, decide on
a location for the main pump/drive assembly.
It should be mounted with the long axis of the
membrane housing in a horizontal position.
The purpose of this requirement is to avoid
two problems:
If the pump develops a seawater
leak and is located directly above
the drive assembly, the drive
assembly and/or electric motor
may be damaged (Figure 3, left).
If the drive assembly develops an oil leak and is located directly above the
pump, oil may find its way into the pumping system and damage the
membrane (Figure 3, right).
We recommend securely thru-bolting the pump/drive assembly to a sturdy bulkhead or platform,
using corrosion-resistant 1/4" fasteners with flat washers (See Figure A-1). Pick a location that
allows ample space for routing the required hoses and electrical wires to the pump and motor.
