CAUTIONIf the system is still for longer than 5 days, it is necessary to wash it with clean water for 15 minutes, in order to change the water kept in the membranes.
To solve the problem of water supply and to ensure a constant availability also during long navigations, the yacht has been provided with an efficient watermaker system.
The watermakers are installed in the technical room and, by means of electric pumps, suck sea water through the sea cock and, after filtering and treating it, send it to the on-board tanks.
Before the sea water is treated, it is filtered in order to remove all “suspended” particles, such as small seaweeds and impurities in the water, which could clog the inner membranes of the watermaker even very quickly.
The watermaker can produce bacteriologically pure water and, therefore, which can be used for all on-board applications.
Excess water and salt concentrate are discharged overboard.
In order to prevent the problem of the deposit of salts on the inner membranes and their crystallization over time, the system has been provided with an end of cycle flushing system which uses fresh water. Given the importance of this operation, clean the inner membranes of the water maker according to the procedures and the schedules indicated by the manufacturer.
CAUTIONIf the system is still for longer than 5 days, it is necessary to wash it with clean water for 15 minutes, in order to change the water kept in the membranes.
CAUTIONThe watermakers are kept in good condition by following scrupulously the indication of the specific manual.
Bad maintenance can lead to production of non-potable water unsuitable for food use.
CAUTIONThe watermakers do not eliminate all dangerous agents present in polluted waters (see specific manual).
Use the watermaker only in clean waters, to avoid contamination of its membranes, tanks and of the whole circuit.
For further information on use and maintenance, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual.
