Clark Pump/Membrane Module Pressure Relief Valve The membrane maximum temperature specification is 120F. This module must be installed in an area that maintains a temperature below 120F (50C). A cool location is preferable. It may be placed as high in the boat as you desire. Make sure that the area around and under the pump does not have any water sensitive equipment. Water will be spilled during any repairs or if a leak occurs. Be sure you will have access to the pressure relief

Product Water tubing Product water tubing is 1/4 “ (6.3mm) parker tubing. See the Parker tube fitting assembly dia- gram next page. Product water goes from the membrane into the pump module manifold where it passes through the flow meter, the salinity sensor and the diversion valve. If the salinity is good the diversion valve energizes and the product goes to the tank from the manifold product outlet. If the diversion valve is not energized the product goes back into the feed water.

Quick Disconnect Fitting Brine Discharge Route the Brine discharge from the quick disconnect fitting to a location above the waterline using the supplied 5/8 hose. Fresh Water Flush Run a feed line from the domestic cold pressure water system to the 1/2 hose barb on the fresh water flush assembly. This needs to be pressurized when the boat is unattended for the fresh water flush system to function properly. The domestic fresh water pump must be able to deliver 1.5 gallons
