5. Install Reject Brine Plumbing: The reject brine water can be teed into an existing
scupper or sink drain hose for draining overboard. Use the 3/8" reinforced hose and supplied
hose clamps. A tee of the correct size will have to be supplied. Alternatively, a dedicated thru-
hull may be installed at a convenient location. In this case, we recommend that a seacock be
installed at the thru-hull.
6. Install Product Freshwater Plumbing: Your product freshwater plumbing design
should allow for both saving and discarding of product freshwater. This normally requires (1) a
drain location and (2) a container for collecting good product freshwater.
In no case should the product freshwater hose be permanently plumbed into the ship’s potable
water storage tank(s), without providing a way to reject the product freshwater when necessary.
Note that product freshwater should always be rejected during the first few minutes after
startup, and especially after treating with membrane preservative or chemical cleaners. For that
reason alone, a means must be provided for disposing of unwanted product freshwater.
In general, we do not recommend that the output of product freshwater be routed directly into a
vessel’s freshwater storage tank(s). If for any reason the watermaker should fail during
operation, there is a good chance that the entire supply of freshwater in the storage tank could
become contaminated by unpurified seawater. This is especially important if:
• you have only a single tank for storing potable water.
• you will be making extended offshore passages and depending on your
watermaker for your potable water supply.
The preferred method for collecting product freshwater is to use portable 5- or 6-gallon 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 water making
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 a single
3/16" I.D. 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.
