MPC-3000 Controller Operation and Displays


 

Spectra Watermakers Inc. introduces a final solution to the problem of Watermachines storage with the revolutionary Z-Brane™. This technology is designed to change the way Watermachines are used and maintained forever by eliminating the need for chemicals to clean and store membranes. Using the proven Z-Guard™ technology, Spectra now is applying it directly to the watermachine membrane to prevent scaling and biological fouling, the principle cause of membrane failure in reverse osmosis systems. Fouling has been labeled as unavoidable by many sources. The origin of fouling varies and can be mineral, biological or a combination of both.

Bio-film is the slick coating or slime found on wetted surfaces produced by many types of microbes. A thin layer of bio-film usually coats the interior of piping, filters and membranes when exposed to water. This bio-film provides both habitat and food supply for a range of bacteria and scale forming compounds. Bio-film is the cause of odors and discoloration in pre-filters and storage tanks. The Z-Brane™ will eliminate conditions that foster bio-fouling and scaling.How Z-Brane™ Works
As water enters the membrane it is exposed to a powerful electrostatic field of the electrode charging all water molecules in a positive orientation. This positive charge prevents particulates from bonding to one another, preventing the formation of sludge, scale and biological fouling. The wetted charged surfaces form a strong boundary layer preventing particles from bonding. Bacteria are rendered inactive and unable to absorb nutrition to replicate into colonies. With the Z-Brane™ you can prevent watermachine membrane fouling and scaling now and forever.Convenient
No more hoses, buckets or messy chemicals. The inconvenience of having to apply storage chemicals to a Watermachine during lay-up periods is gone forever. Spectra’s new environmentally sound technology will set you free to enjoy cruising and the better things in life rather than doing time in the bilge worrying about short or long term membrane storage.Do Not Use Chemicals
Any use of cleaning and storage chemicals will substantially shorten the usable life of reverse osmosis membranes. Even when your water-machine is in constant use or idle for periods of time, the Z-Brane™ will not allow bio-growth or scaling to attack your system as it maintains the overall performance of your watermachine and dramatically increases the life of the membrane. 100% protection
Spectra’s “Keep Alive” backup system will protect the watermachine even if you have a primary power failure. The Z-Brane™ power supply circuitry will automatically switch to a secondary power source in the event of a primary failure.
