Avoid running the Ventura system if the vessel is in contaminated water, such as in a pol-
luted harbor or canal. The system should be fully run tested before leaving on your cruise.
If the location or weather prevents proper testing refer to the section “Dry Testing.”
Warning! Damage may occur if the purge sequence is bypassed and the membrane is
pressurized with storage chemical in it.
• Thru-hull inlet valve is open and the brine discharge valve is open.
• All of your hose connections are tight.
• The “WARNING” tag and spacer from under the pressure relief valve has been
removed.
• The pressure relief valve is open 1/2 turn.
• The sampling valve is set to the sample position.
1. First check that:
2. Turn on the feed water pump. Check that it is primed by inspecting the brine discharge.
About 1.5 gpm (6 lpm) of water should be going overboard with a pulsation every few sec-
onds.
3. Run the system without pressure for 20 minutes to purge the storage chemicals. The system
should have an open flow pressure on the gauge of about 20 PSI (1.2 bar).
4. Close the pressure relief valve. The pressure should rise to 60-80 PSI (4.2-5.7 bar). After
several minutes, water should begin to flow out of the sampling tube. If the vessel is located
in brackish or fresh water the pressure will be lower.
5. Allow the system to run for 5-10 minutes and then test the product with your hand held sa-
linity tester. When the product is below 750 PPM it is considered potable and may be diverted
to the tank.
