Hi,

I too believe I have been overdoing my pickling of the watermaker. I pickle it for the summer when I am in harbor in new york , and every month when I leave the boat in the Carib. What is the correct mixture of sodium metabisulfite and water? Fair Winds, Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite

He called me within an hour of my email to him. We had a long discussion on a host of topics related to the Dessalator water maker, FilmTec membranes, water maker care and feeding, design philosophy etc. I am preparing a summary of that discussion that I will post here. He is also going to prepare a post for this site along with the specifications for the o-rings used on the membrane end caps and detailed concentration specifications for the Sodium Metabisulfite pickling solution. My bottom line is that I will be installing a continuous EC (Electrical Conductivity) monitor with alarm capability in my system. I am considering the Omega CDCN201 Mini Panel Mount Conductivity and TDS Controller with Alarm Modes. You can see it at omega.com/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=CDCN201&nav= or just google up CDCN201. It is available in 12 volt DC or 220 volt AC 50-60 Hertz. Steve, your understanding as summarized from Rod is basically what I heard also.
