Fresh Water Flush

Fresh Water Flush
Extends the life of the membranes by rinsing them with fresh water by merely a touch of a button. The Fresh Water Flush automatically removes all salt water from internal parts of the system and flushes the membranes with clean fresh water every 7 days. This prevents salt water corrosion of the internal parts and reduces biological fouling of the RO membrane. 


Touch Screen

Remote Control Unit
The Remote Control Unit (RCU) is able to monitor the system's performance and alarm status from the bridge or other remote locations. This RCU includes complete installation instructions and 50 feet of cable. This is standard only on the Seafari.


Plankton

Plankton Filter Assembly
The Plankton Filter Assembly (PFA) traps suspended solids larger than 100 micron, thus providing additional protection for your Seafari system's pre-filters, which ultimately prolongs the pre-filter element life. 


Charcoal Filter

Charcoal Filter Assembly
Charcoal Filter Assembly (CFA) removes chlorine, taste, odors, and chemical impurities from the product water. This process of purification works without chemicals and leaves no residual in the water supply. 


pH
Neutralizer

pH Neutralizing Filter
The pH Neutralizing Filter (pHN) provides pH neutralization of the reverse osmosis system product water. It comes in various filter sizes to fit your needs.


Sea Strainer

Sea Strainer
The Sea Strainer prolongs pre-filter life by trapping suspended solids within the monel mesh screen. Sea Strainers are available in either the traditional plastic housing (SF 170) or the bronze (all other Seafari systems). (PSS or BSS)


UV Sterilizer

U.V. Sterilizer
The Ultraviolet Sterilizer is the final process where 99.8% of all micro-organisms, such as reproducing bacteria and viruses, are sterilized. Ultraviolet replacement U.V. lamps are also available. Please specify voltage when ordering.


Soft Motor Start

Soft Motor Start
The new, specially designed Soft Motor Start is a device that can be integrated into the Seafari System. The Soft Motor Start will cut the Seafari system's start-up amps by more than half.


Planned Maintenance Kit

Planned Maintenance Kit
Each Planned Maintenance Kit contains all the spare parts a cruising vessel is likely to need for basic planned maintenance. This includes all necessary pre-filter elements, screens, cleaning compound kits, pump and crankcase oil, replacement seals for the pre-filter, and a storage compound kit.


Replacement Filters

Replacement Filters
Horizon Reverse Osmosis stocks a full line of high quality standard and commercial filter cartridges to maintain both the pre and post treatment stages, as well as carbon, plankton, monel screen, and oil water separation replacement filters to guarantee system performance.
