What to do for Optimal Performance of CLEARLINE System

 

The CLEARLINE System should be powered ON and have seawater flowing through the ClearCell at all times. This provides the vessel’s seawater circuit with constant chlorinated seawater to prevent unwanted marine growth. Intermittent or stagnant seawater that is not continuously electrochemically treated allows growth of marine microorganisms. Barnacles have the innate ability to close themselves off and survive intermittent exposure to biocidal agents.

  • DO NOT turn off seawater pumps, air conditioner, or chiller for an extended period of time.

  • Inspect the vessel for problem areas:

  • Pre-existing biofouling in seawater lines prior to CLEARLINE installation.

  • Clogged seawater strainers and intakes.

  • Impacted, blocked or occluded lines from debris lodged in plumbing.

  • Sporadic demand valve areas; depending on the system, valves that turn on and off can foster unwanted marine growth.

What to look for:

On the Control Unit confirm the Power LED is green.  The words "CLEANING" and CLEANING LED should appear on the display.  Seawater should be flowing through the CLEARLINE System and the actual flow rate is shown in GPM (LPM). 

Note: If the seawater pump is turned OFF, then no seawater will be flowing through your CLEARLINE System, the CLEANING LED will be off and the display will show NO FLOW.
