Dry Testing With Artificial Ocean
If it is not possible to test run the system with the boat in the water testing may be accomplished
with an artificial ocean. Purchase enough salt to make 5 gallons (20 liters) of salt water. Salt
water is 32,000ppm or 3% salt by weight.
Make sure that the domestic water system is powered up and that there is water in the tank.
Confirm that the Charcoal filter is installed in the Fresh water flush module and that the domes-
tic water line had been installed and all valves are open.
1. Open Pressure Relief Valve.
2. Power up the control system.
3. Close the sea cock
4. Press both “Auto Run” and “Stop” to bypass the purge sequence. If the motor starts, stop
immediately and press the Auto run and stop button again until you get a message
PURGE MODE BYPASSED.
5. Press the Auto Store button and allow the fresh water flush system to cycle through its
timed operation. Cycle the auto store system 5 or more times to purge all of the storage
chemicals out of the system (20 minutes total purging). If you get a SERVICE PREFIL-
TER alarm, the flush water flow is not enough or the feed pump is running to fast. See the
instructions for “Flush Cycle Adjustment”.
6. Hook up your service hoses to the Clark Pump and the boost pump module. Route them
into a 5 gallon (20 Liter) bucket. Connect a piece of 1/4” product tubing to the product out-
let on the feed pump module.
7. Turn the valve on the boost pump module from “Run” to “Service.”
8. Press auto flush one or two more times to get enough water into the bucket to properly mix
your salt water. Close the pressure relief valve and start the system using the “Auto Run”
Button. Slowly begin adding salt. If you are using a hydrometer mix the water to be 30,000
PPM. If you have no way to measure the salinity, slowly add salt while running the ma-
chine until the feed pressure reaches 100psi (7bar).
9. Run and test the system for as long as possible. During the run test carefully inspect for
leaks. Check all of the system parameters to make sure the system is operating correctly.
Do not allow the water in the bucket to get above 120F (50C).
10. Store the system per the “Storage” instructions.
