• Flexible installation: main unit and remote panel can be placed in different locations.
• Operation automation: facilitates the operation of the desalination cycle.
• Homogeneous materials for marine environment: structure in highly corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel.
• Compact size: ideal when technical spaces are limited or distributed over multiple compartments.

Notes for installation and maintenance

For correct operation over time it is advisable to:

• check available space and the need for regular access to components;
• choose a protected and easily reachable position for the remote panel;
• check compatibility of existing hydraulic lines;
• consider the electrical absorption of 1.5 kW in system design;
• follow the manufacturer's instructions for start-up and maintenance;
• entrust installation and checks to qualified personnel.

Consumables (membranes, filters, pre-pump) must be chosen based on the MC4J code to ensure compatibility with the model.
