Your installing it permanently I assume and not laying it on
deck or something?
Your going to need a
thru hull with strainer, and a way to
power it of course, wire and circuit breaker and a
thru hull for the brine discharge.
I know nothing about the Rainman, but if your doing an install, don’t get in a hurry, there is a lot to installing a
water maker and if you
work at it and get it right, you will lose very little if any
storage space.
The HP
pump will be loud, best if it’s not within your living space, and any
plumbing and the membranes etc ought not be installed where a leak will be bad, like no hoses above your
electronics. The pre filters need to be easily accessible and again nothing under them that will be hurt when you spill some
water changing filters. Your going to have to mount a charcoal
water filter for fresh water flushes, and of course figure a way to connect it to your water tank, and run a bypass then somewhere until you test the water, I ran mine to our
shower sump.
When you mount the HP
pump, try to mount it to something very solid, something that won’t magnify the vibrations which will make it noisier.
Spend a day or so dry fitting everything, I spent at least a week, the
panels were my biggest challenge finding a place they would fit wasn’t easy. I went through several different plans until I got it right, but be darn sure before you start cutting holes.
Again I know nothing of the Rainman, that was just generic statements
