HOW DOES THE FRESH WATER FLUSH WORK?

Fresh Water Flush (FWF) runs automatically when the watermaker is stopped; it automatically re-flushes every seven (7) days. The FWF uses the ship's on-board water system to supply fresh water through the suppllied Carbon Filter, which removes any chlorine, and then flushes the watermaker completely.
By rinsing the watermaker with fresh water, salt water is displaced with fresh water throughout the R.O. system’s internal parts and including the membrane. This process will prevent corrosion of the internal parts and reduces biological fouling of the membranes.

DO I NEED AN ULTRA VIOLET STERILIZER?

Yes. An U.V. sterilizer is recommended if the feed water (intake) is from a harbor, marina, or polluted source. The R.O. membrane rejects bacteria and viruses. However, if biological migration occurs across the membrane, then the U.V. sterilizer will destroy 99.9 % of any biological intrusion in the product water

WHAT OPTIONS DO HRO / SEA RECOVERY RECOMMEND?

Automatic Fresh Water Flush protects the entire system and R.O. Membrane. Other options depend upon available space, as well as operating conditions and locations.

No. Although the High Pressure Pump assists initial water draw, the Booster Pump should be mounted below water level for best performance. Our Booster Pumps are sized for maximum allowable pressure in order to gain maximum prefilter element life. This saves time and money for the owner.

DO I NEED A PLANKTON FILTER OR A MULTIMEDIA FILTER?

Both filters achieve the same results in prolonging the life of the prefilter elements. The Multi Media Filter provides longer intervals between maintenance.
Either are highly recommended for harbor or shallow water operation, as well as fishing grounds and areas such as the Pacific North West where plankton levels are high.
