Because the search facility on this revised site is so
difficult I set out below a message that I posted on 28 June 2012. Martin
de Jong speaks perfect English and no doubt Spanish and French. He is incredibly
knowledgeable and helpful. His phone no is 0034 96571988.

Hello Jose,
The best place for advice is Martin de Jong who is Mr Dessalator in Spain
(desalador@...). The second bit of
my advice is that so far as I know all watermakers are based on high pressure
pumps made by the US company called Catpumps.Their European Agent is at cpi@... and they will send you a list
of a local agents and I feel sure that there will be one in the Azores because
the locals including the hotels will have big R.O. installations. My catpump
needed servicing and the agents for yacht water makers were of no help but cpi
gave me the details of the man here in Malta who does hotels and he did it for
me. However start with Martin and do get a salinity meter so that
you do not pump salt water into your tank as even if you are not offshore salt
water will destroy your appliances pdq. I do not know your hull no but unless
you have a latish SM2K
the so called salinity monitor is non existent. A replacement board with a
working monitor can be bought for about $500.
Enjoy Horta, Anne and John, Bali Hai, SM2K 319
