Mike, I do not know the history of my watermaker . It was given to me about three years ago and I installed it . I do not know if it was pickled properly. Last summer we were down the Bay off Solomons and I was anxious to see if it worked , so we turned it on and water , very good quality and quantity was produced. That could be because we were in a low salt environment . The only problem we had was one gauge , I think the low pressure did not register , and the low pressure pump seemed very hot to the touch. I pickled it last fall and unpickled it this spring as I understood it should not be pickled for longer than six months, I have since been told this is not true. Outside of flushing it very well , before using ,I do not know what else one would do before making water. Almost everyone knows more than me on this subject and I am sure someone will be better able to answer your question. I have my old 60 lt. watermaker and want to give it to someone that can use it.

Our watermaker has been "pickled" off-line for 10 years. How long was yours not in operation and how much time/expense/aggravation was/is involved in bringing it back to function? Parts other than filters that needed replacement? Thanks, Mike Aletes SM#240 From: amelyachtowners@... [mailto:amelyachtowners@...] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2014 7:12 AM To: amelyachtowners@... Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Watermaker supplies Bill, I did not se a micron spec in the description of the filters at Home Depot . If you and Eric use them , that's good enough for me, this winter will be my first time using the watermaker, so I know nothing about it.

I started using pleated water filters both 5 and 20 micron when I needed to buy some in Darwin. They can be washed easily with a nozzle on a hose and can be cleaned dozens of times. As Eric said, Home Depot is a source and here is a link to the pleated ones: http://www.homedepot.com/p/DuPont-Pleated-Poly-Whole-House-Cartridge-2-Pack- WFPFC3002/203444306 Bill BeBe 387 On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 3:11 AM, kimberlite@...
