            Matic Screen
Remote Control
The new state-of-the-art Touch Pad Remote Control Unit allows for remote operation and supervision of your watermaker.

   
Soft Motor Start
The new SRC Soft Motor Starter (SMS) reduces start-up amps by 45%. This allows operation from smaller generators.
   
Fresh Water Flush
Fresh Water Flush
The fresh water flush greatly prolongs the life of the membranes by rinsing them with fresh water at the touch of a button. Automatically flushes your system every seven days.
   
Ultra Violet Sterilizer
UV Sterilizer
The Ultraviolet Sterilizer processes up to 2 gallons/minute. The result is a 99.8% sterilization of all micro-organisms, including reproducing bacteria and viruses. Ultraviolet replacement U.V. lamps are also available. Please specify voltage when ordering.

   
Media Filter
Multi-Media Filter
The multi-media filter traps suspended solids larger than 30 microns to provide additional protection for the system's pre-filters, which can greatly extend pre-filter element life.

   
Oil Water Separator
Oil Water Separator
The Oil/Water Separator Canister protects the reverse osmosis membranes from oily or polluted water sources.

   
Commercial Prefilter
Commercial Prefilter
The Commercial size Pre-Filter Canister replaces the Standard Pre-Filters, providing longer intervals between necessary filter cleaning and replacement.


   
pH Neutralizer
pH Neutralizer
The Sea Recovery pH Neutralizing Filter provides pH neutralization of the reverse osmosis system product water. It comes in various filter sizes for your convenience.
   
pH Neutralizer
Plankton Filter
The plankton filter traps suspended solids larger than 100 micron, thus providing additional protection for the system's pre-filters, which ultimately extend pre-filter element life (Dual design available).

 

Replacement Filters
Replacement Filters
Whether for the pre-filtration stage or post treatment stage, the Sea Recovery R.O. Filter Elements are an essential part in proper system performance.
   
Membrane Element Storage Chemical
Membrane Elemement Storage
These chemicals inhibit bacterial growth while maintaining the high flux and salt rejection of the R.O. Membrane Element.

Membrane Element Cleaning Compound #1 (SRC MCC-1) is an alkaline cleaner designed to clean biological fouling and slight oil fouling from the R.O. membrane element.

Membrane Element Cleaning Compound #2 (SRC MCC-2) is an acid cleaner designed to clean calcium carbonate and other mineral deposits from the R.O. membrane element.

Membrane Element Cleaning Compound #3 (SRC MCC-3) is used for iron fouling. If the system's R.O. membrane element is fouled with rust from iron piping, then SRC CC-3 may be used for effective removal of light or moderate rust fouling.
   
crankcase oil Crankcase Oil
Crankcase Oil is a specially formulated hydraulic lubricant with anti-wear, de-oxidizer, and rust inhibitor additives.
