Indeed, once the Oil Water Separator is installed, it effectively extracts oil from the feed water, while the Ultra Violet Sterilizer ensures the sterilization of the product water.

Almost immediately, as it possible only a few moments after start up.

• The R.O. membrane rejects
  the salt, and allows the potable
  water to pass through. Visit our
  web site.
• The Energy Transfer Device
  (ETD) in the H2O ECO Series
  recovers energy from the
  pressurized brine water and
  transfers that energy to the
  pressure chamber within the
  ETD.

• Sea Recovery’s R.O. membrane elements are produced by Dow Chemical (Filmtec) to stringent standards and elevated specifications.
• Crafted to industrial standards, boasting high flux (yielding more water per square foot of membrane) and high rejection (ensuring superior product water quality).
• Generates increased water output within a compact design, offering simplified installation and enhanced versatility.

Absolutely, it's delightful, mineral-low, softened, refreshing, oxygenated, incredibly flavorful, pleasant, and ensures spotless dishes and washdowns!

No. Battery water necessitates distilled (0 PPM) water. Reverse Osmosis product water does contain minimal mineral content, suitable for drinking and washdowns but unsuitable for batteries.

No. We offer 12 & 24 VDC systems, along with AC systems that necessitate a generator.

• Automatic flushing occurs when the system stops, with an additional automatic re-flush every 7 days.
• Utilize the ship's onboard water system to deliver fresh water through the FWF Carbon filter, eliminating any chlorine, and into the R.O. System.

• Yes indeed, if the feed water (intake) originates from a harbor or contaminated source.
• While the R.O. membrane effectively repels bacteria and viruses, in the event of biological migration across the membrane, the UV Sterilizer will eradicate 99.9% of any biological intrusion into the product water.

• The Automatic Fresh Water Flush safeguards both the entire system and R.O. membrane.
• Additional options are contingent on available space, as well as operational conditions and locations. For specific details, please consult our website or brochure.

• No. While the High Pressure Pump aids in the initial water draw, optimal performance requires mounting the Booster Pump below water level.
• The Booster Pumps are dimensioned to attain maximum allowable pressure, thereby extending the lifespan of prefilter elements to save the owner time and money. 
   
   

• Both effectively extend the lifespan of prefilter elements. The Multi Media Filter offers extended intervals between maintenance.
• Highly recommended for harbor or shallow operation, fishing grounds, and regions like the Pacific Northwest with high plankton levels.

• Dedicated Thru-Hull Inlet fitting paired with a Sea Cock Valve.
• Thru-Hull Discharge fitting for overboard discharge.
• Connection for Product Water Tank Fill line.
• Electrical Circuit Breaker and Electrical Wiring.

Anywhere is suitable. While the engine room is commonly chosen, other viable locations include lazarettes, closets, under settees, or any available space.

From ½” to 1” depending on
the system.

Yes, the system can be positioned above water level, but it's essential for the Booster Pump (provided with the system) to be installed below the waterline. 

Setting up the essential thru-hull fittings and electrical connections should be conducted by skilled and seasoned technicians. However, installing the system itself demands only fundamental mechanical proficiency and can be carried out by the user. Our thorough Owner's Manual guides the installer through each step of the process.
