3 – STOPPING THE WATERMAKER
3.1 – SIMPLE STOP (STOP FOR 3 DAYS MAXIMUM)
Stop the unit by pressing the OFF (31) button.
-
Shut the hull valve (V0).
-
It is strongly advised to carry out fresh water rinsing each time you stop the unit, this guarantees the longevity of the membrane
and avoids oxidation of metal parts by electrolysis.
If the unit is to be out of use for a short time (less than 2 weeks) proceed with rinsing (See 3.2). If it is to be out of use for a long time
proceed with preservation (See 3.3).
3.2 – STOPPING WITH FRESH WATER FLUSH (STOP BETWEEN 3 DAYS AND 2 WEEKS)
Fresh water flush should be carried out before stopping the unit for a short period. In case of a long stop period, proceed with the
preservation operation. Fresh water preservation requires the use of a bucket, for example a household bucket, which should be
perfectly clean and FREE OF ANY TRACES OF GREASY SUBSTANCES
1.
Stop the unit by pressing the OFF (31) button.
2.
Fill the bucket with 10l of water produced by the AQUA-BASE unit, or failing this, unchlorinated fresh water; to dechlorinate mains
water, just add a pinch of preservation solution AQUA-BASE, reference 752039.
3.
Immerse the rinsing piping (E) to the bottom of the bucket.
4.
Set the inlet valve (2) to Rinsing position.
5.
Completely open the pressure regulating valve (12) by turning anti-clockwise.
6.
Start up the unit by pressing on the green ON (30) button and keep a check on the water level in the bucket.
7.
As soon as the bucket is empty, stop the unit by pressing the red OFF(31) button.
8.
When rinsing is finished, shut the hull valve (V0).
3.3 – STOPPING WITH PRESERVATION (STOP OF MORE THAN 2 WEEKS)
BEFORE THE PRESERVATION PROCEDURE, CARRY OUT A RINSING OF THE CIRCUIT (See 3.2)
Preservation should imperatively be carried out before stopping the system over a long period (more than 2 weeks).
1.
Use the preservation liquid - reference AQUA-BASE, Ref. 752039.
2.
Stop the unit by pressing the OFF (31) button.
3.
Take 10 liters of water from the principal tank, fill the auxiliary tank and add the preservation liquid.
If the unit is to be stored at a temperature below 0°C, 20% of AQUA-BASE ANTI-FREEZE® ref.752004 must be added to the
preservation solution, during its preparation.
4.
Immerse the rinsing piping (E) to the bottom of the bucket.
5.
Set the inlet valve (2) to Rinsing position.
6.
Completely open the pressure regulating valve (12) by turning anti-clockwise.
7.
Start up the unit by pressing on the green ON (30) button and keep a check on the water level in the bucket.
8.
The fresh water removes the salt which settled on the membrane and the preservation product avoids the development of bacteria.
9.
As soon as the bucket is empty, stop the unit by pressing the red OFF(31) button.
10. When rinsing is finished, shut the hull valve (V0).
N.B:
In order to avoid the PRESERVATION procedure during immobilisation of the unit, operate the unit for a few minutes every week. It
is strongly advised to carry out rinsing by fresh water every time the unit is stopped, as this guarantees the longevity of the
membrane and avoids oxidation of metal parts by electrolysis.
