Re: Spectra Watermaker issues…..help!

OK, this may take a phone call to cover everything. A new membrane and a shifting Clark pump should be producing some amount of fresh water. Lets go back to make proper definitions. You say you...

Re: Spectra Watermaker issues…..help!

OK, There are a few things to check. First it sounds like the feed pump itself may have failed. This would not be caused by anything you have stated that you did previously. It just may be...

Re: Pickling RO watermaker - Sodium Metabisulphite vs Potassium Metabisulphite

Sorry I'm not around as much as I used to be. Business has been wildly busy. I'm also not sure on the potassium either. You got me on this one, but here's how I see it not being a chemical engineer....

Re: Pin-hole leak in Spectra tube

Yes, we can supply everything Spectra and then some. I would change the fittings if they are shot with the SS ones. It's a good upgrade to do. I would also remind you of then two flexible hp hoses...

Re: Pin-hole leak in Spectra tube

These SS tubes will develop pin hole leaks like this as it is exposed 24/7 in water. it's not really an issue of how often you do or do not run your system. If one tube has a leak it is pretty much...

Re: Magnet clings to my prop shaft

Interesting, I'm in way over my head on this, but out of curiosity, wouldn't there be metals added to prop shaft material for added strength that might attract a magnet?

Re: Watermaker sucking air in

The pump that can be used for this is a small Johnson CP mag drive pump 12volts. One that will move about 1-3gpm will work fine. This is mounted below the waterline so its input is constantly...

Re: Watermaker Usage Question: We have a SeawaterPro

Actually, that's exactly what happened. This customer "caught" a small flying fish inside his filter after I recommended this procedure. It took us three membranes to finally figure out where all the...

Re: Watermaker sucking air in

You might be best served by adding a small boost pump to this to help the flow reach the input to the watermaker. These small systems can take a long time to prime with an intake line like you seemed...

Re: Catalina 300 check pre filter

I know J.T. He will recommend an analog pressure gauge instead on such an older system. But until then on an older Catalina like this the two sensors are located on the top of the five- and...

Re: Watermaker Usage Question: I have an old Spectra

One more thing. People are absolutely correct, you don't "NEED" a watermaker. But then you don't NEED a boat either. There are needs and then there are the pleasures in life.

Re: Watermaker Usage Question: We have a SeawaterPro

Just to jump in here on this part. I would highly recommend that you do NOT use this practice to clean prefilters. You are correct, you are flushing them from the inside out. But you are reversing...

Re: Spectra conversion to Procon feed pump experience

The answer is "both". It depends on how old your system is. If you have clear pre-filter canisters then the filters are on the input side, if they are solid black or solid white they are on the...

Re: Pick up tube for watermaker?

Hi Chotu,

Sorry to hear of your medical issues, i hope all is much better now.

Remind me again why there are no thru hulls on your boat? The answer is simple for a boost pump. But a proper...

Re: Spectra conversion to Procon feed pump experience

Nice work. I see a lot and I mean a LOT of shade tree mechanical work on these systems. I like what you have done. I'm not sure on that Procon pump and motor as I've never used or seen that...

Re: Watermaker Usage Question: I have an old Spectra

Re: Watermaker Usage Question: I have an old Spectra

Re: Watermaker Usage Question: I have an old Spectra
