If you plan to run the watermaker again within a couple of days, it can simply be turned off. If
you do not intend to use your watermaker again within a week, it should be treated with
membrane preservative to prevent organic growth on the membrane.
Note: Organic growth is much more rapid in warm or tropical climates. If using the watermaker
in a tropical environment, we recommend a membrane preservative treatment if the watermaker
will not be run again within the next three days! Before doing repairs or maintenance work
on a PowerSurvivor, close the seawater inlet valve after turning off the system.
Otherwise, the possibility exists that hose failure, for example, could cause the boat to
sink.
At the end of a watermaker run, check the condition of water in the prefilter housing. If there is
evidence of trapped material, clean the prefilter housing and install a clean prefilter element.
Special Conditions
Product freshwater output volume will vary depending on the salinity and temperature of the
seawater being processed. Figure 6 illustrates the relationship between feed water temperature
and the quantity of product water. Factors which are known to affect output or performance
include:
High Salinity will decrease output
slightly and lead to a modest
increase in current draw. Effectively,
the pump must work harder to
remove a larger percentage of dis-
solved solids from the seawater.
Cold Water will have an effect
similar to that of high salinity.
Silt or Sand can damage the
membrane and internal pump
components if not removed during
prefiltration. If you must regularly
process such water, consider
installing a Silt Reduction Kit (see
Kits & Accessories).
Foul Intake Seawater can seriously
effect the quality of the product freshwater. The watermaker membrane is designed to
remove the impurities found in clean, open ocean seawater. Processing of seawater with
other kinds of impurities (1) may not remove those impurities and (2) may damage or
destroy the membrane. See Maintenance and Service: Prefilter Maintenance below for
more information on typical problems associated with foul water intake.
Low Battery Voltage will dramatically reduce the volume of seawater throughput and
product freshwater output. We recommend not operating the watermaker if battery
voltage is below 11 VDC.
Note on Red Tides: In many areas of the ocean, a phenomenon generally known as a
“red tide” can occur. This generic name is used to describe an invasion of local waters by
huge populations of micro-organisms, which turns the seawater red. Occasionally, a red tide
is accompanied by the death of local fish and other sea life, which can cause serious local
pollution of the seawater. Although the watermaker membrane can remove the
microorganisms that cause the red tide, it can not remove all of the chemical pollutants
caused by large-scale biological decomposition. Therefore, we do not recommend using the
watermaker to process seawater when a red tide is present.
