New System Start-Up and Testing
Avoid running the system if the vessel is in contaminated water, which might contain oil
or high levels of bacteria. The system should be fully run tested before leaving port. It is
preferable to sacrifice a filter by running the system in turbid water rather than waiting to
get offshore to discover a problem or deficiency in the installation. If the location or
weather prevents proper testing refer to the section “Dry Testing.”
