I began
installing the R O unit today. After removing the facial of the upper
starboard bunk I laid out the parts and began the installation.
The HP pump
will be closest to the switch panel. The RO tube will be below in the
three small lockers. I removed the partitions opening up the
entire unit. The control panel is installed in the hole left by
the old radio. The filters and raw water pump will go in the hanging
locker and get the water from the thru hull fitting used by the head.
I am well pleased by the service provided by the folks at Pro
Watermaker. If you have a problem they are there to help.
Taking the path
of the water after leaving the strainer it goes through two filters to
remove particles that would damage the RO filter. To the H.P.
Pump, This pump as well as the complete system runs on 110 volts.
From the pump to the RO filter, from here the drinking water goes
through a UV system to a 5 gallon holding tank, when full the overflow
goes to the forward water tank. The 5 gallon tank is used to
flush the unit after use since no chemicals are added at this time.
The brine and flush water goes to the waste manifold and overboard.
