4 – INSTALLATION OF WATERMAKER
4.1 – PREPARATION
The hull fitting and the hull valve (V0) are supplied and installed by the shipyard.
The seawater feed hull fitting (EdM) should be placed as low as possible below the water line, in an area always immersed whatever the
boat's navigation rate may be.
The hull valve (V0) should be placed on the seawater feeding pipes, as close as possible to the hull fitting.
The reject hull fitting (R) should be placed above the water line.
4.2 – PLACING THE UNIT
The Hydraulic amplifier and membrane : The main module should be bolted onto a rigid surface. The main module can be
installed in vertical or horizontal position.
Seawater intake: The through-hull must correspond to the size of the hoses, as specified in the installation diagram. The through-
hull must be installed as deep as possible, towards the middle of the boat. Extra care must be used if the Watermaker is operated
while the boat is moving because of the risk of running dry or having the pump cavitating.
The sea strainer: The sea strainer should be near to the hull valve and imperatively fully charged with seawater.
The 5µ filter: The filter should be installed using the provided support, vertically against a wall. If necessary, they can be slightly
tilted.
An auxiliary tank: This tank is used to perform the flushing and sterilization of the system. See "Watermaker shutdown" p28.
The low pressure pump (LP): The Low Pressure pump (LP) should be installed between the sea strainer and the 5µ filter and
below the water line (at least 20cm)
operation of the unit.
4.3 – ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- The AQUA-BASE unit is equipped with a circuit breaker ensuring its protection and security. This doesn't ensure the
protection of your installation, which should be equipped with devices conforming to the current legislation.
- No other equipment should be fed from the AQUA-BASE UNIT box.
- Check beforehand that the unit voltage corresponds with the network.
Warning :
A decrease of wire section or an increase of length create a lost of voltage in the terminals of the electric motor and a deacrease
of performance of the system (contact your dealer if necessary)
