2. Connect Electrical Power to Pump: To provide 12 (or 24) VDC electric power to

the motor, use a minimum of 16 gauge

stranded copper wire. We recommend 14

gauge (or larger) wire for distances over 20

feet. Tinned, stranded copper wire is

preferred for marine installations and is

available in most marine hardware stores.

Figure 4 shows a typical electrical power

configuration.

3. Mount Pre filter Assembly

and 3-Way Valve:

Lightly coat the

male threads of the middle port of the pre

filter 3-way valve with a non-hardening,

paste-type thread sealant (e.g.,

Permatex

) to assure an airtight seal.

(Note: Teflon tape is not recommended.)

1. Carefully thread the middle port of

the prefilter 3-way valve into the “IN” port of the pre filter housing. Do not over tighten

this connection. When assembled correctly, the long axis of the 3-way valve should be

vertical (See Figure A-1).

2. Fasten the supplied right-angled mounting bracket for the pre filter assembly to a

bulkhead. Orient it so the pre filter assembly will be vertical, with the bowl underneath.

We recommend that it be thru-bolted with corrosion-resistant hardware.

3. Screw the top of the pre filter housing to the bracket with the supplied screws. One port

of the pre filter 3-way valve should project above the housing through the notch in the

mounting bracket.

4. Install Seawater Intake Plumbing: There are two common approaches to

providing the seawater intake circuit:

• Tee into an existing seawater intake (e.g., engine cooling water or manual

seawater pump inlet).

• Install a dedicated thru-hull for the watermaker.

Either of these configurations should meet the following criteria:

• It should be at a low point on the vessel’s hull, to minimize the chance of air

intake during heeling or rough conditions.

• The thru-hull should be a minimum of 1/2" I.D., and possibly larger if it is a

shared inlet. (Note: If there is the possibility that in the future you will want to

upgrade to a higher capacity unit or perhaps a second PowerSurvivor 40E to

implement redundant systems you should consider substituting 1/2" I.D. hoses

and hose fittings during your initial installation).

• An easy-to-reach seacock should be installed on the thru-hull immediately

inside the hull.

• A coarse seawater strainer is strongly recommended. It should be easy to

reach and clean.

• The easiest and most commonly used approach is to tee into an existing

seawater intake system. Because the flow rate and volume of seawater intake

for the PowerSurvivor 40E are both extremely low, the pump can be

adequately supplied by most pre-existing intakes — even inlets that operate at

modest negative pressures, such as the cooling water inlet for an engine or

generator.

When teeing into an existing seawater supply, we recommend installing a separate seacock or

valve (in addition to the one at the thru-hull) to independently control the supply to the

watermaker.
