The preferred method for collecting product freshwater is to use portable jerry jugs or a separate
“day tank,” which is isolated from the main storage tank. Some method should be devised for
testing the product freshwater quality at the beginning and at the end of each operation. When
you are certain that the quality of the collected product freshwater is acceptable, it can be
transferred to the main storage tank.
Note: The important concept is to always have a minimum quantity of known-good potable
water available at all times, either in your main storage tank or in the collection container(s).
The length of your expected voyage and maximum distance from a source of potable water
will determine the size of the adequate minimum amount. Arrange your watermaking
schedule to assure that you always have the minimum of known-good potable water on
board in one or both of your containers.
To route the product freshwater output of their watermakers, many users simply run the 1/4" I.D.
clear plastic hose directly from the output hose barb on the membrane housing to a single
location, where the water is tested and either discarded or run into a collection container.
Should you prefer to have your product freshwater output routed to two separate locations for
testing/discarding and collection, the watermaker system includes a product 3-way valve for use
in your output plumbing. Refer to Figure A-1 for a routing diagram.
Using your Watermaker
Watermakers like to be run often
The ease of operation of our watermakers has its roots in our original products, which were
designed as military-quality survival equipment. Our deep experience in this technology,
combined with many years of active user feedback, allowed us to design a watermaker that can
be operated with little or no technical knowledge. There are no complicated adjustments to
make or gauges to monitor. By following the instructions below and paying attention to system
maintenance, you can expect years of trouble-free operation.
Pre-Run Checklist: Before running your watermaker, always check the following:
5 Any valves in the seawater intake, reject brine and product freshwater lines should be open.
5 The prefilter 3-way valve should be in the position to intake seawater.
5 Assure that the product freshwater output is routed to a drain for testing/discarding.
5 Make sure the clean/run valve lever on the pump is in the “run” position (See Figure 5).
5 Check for bad (“rotten egg”) smell from the water in the prefilter assembly. Replace the
element and clean the housing, as required. Also check for foul water in any in-line coarse
strainer.
5 Check battery or power supply voltage. Operating your watermaker below about 11 VDC is
hard on the electric motor and dramatically reduces the output of product freshwater
.
5 Observe the seawater around your vessel. Is it clean enough to use for your seawater
intake? There are several things to avoid feeding to your watermaker:
