Re: Spectra Watermaker Vane Pump Feedback

Actually, best is to have two gauges - one on Procon pump, and second on the membrane.

Re: Spectra Newport 400 - ressurection

Why not?
The pump make constant 240gph at whatever pressure I want (100-200psi)
240gph is enough for 3 membranes in series. And the pressure I can adjust as needed.

Correct me if I am wrong. But...

Re: Spectra Watermaker Vane Pump Feedback

Do you need a T and a hose?
I saw the TEST port plugged on the pump. Isn't it to screw-in the gauge?

Re: Spectra Watermaker Vane Pump Feedback

Yes, there are cheap (thyristor) motor controllers, but they are not powerful at all.
The other two are 1-phase and 3-phass inverters.

FVD only change the frequency, not the voltage.

Do they start to make pressure washers in 12/24V? :) then add the cost of the inverter or generator.

Re: Are you selling your watermaker in Europe

СAT Pump is a variety of pumps. Some used in industrial pressure washers ($$$$, not cheap plastic ones). These are not stainless.

Better to take special model for watermakers (2SF series).
