The hoses are
rated for 5,000 psi. They need to be stainless steel braid. Most hydraulic
shops will have them. You will want food quality hoses. We are in Tahiti and
plan to replace ours here. We have found online several places but due to
restrictions, we haven’t been there yet. We had a failure in one of the
fittings, the nut cracked. Epoxy putty has solved the problem, short-term.
I have attached
the instructions for the fittings (thanks Eric).
With best
regards,

Hello,
We are looking for the specs (type, inner/outer size, max
pressure etc) of the high pressure hose HP between the HP pump and the
'pressostat' (pressure regulator?).
We have checked online, the dessalator website only shows
the fittings without the HP hose, and the company is currently closed due to
COVID.
We have the stainless steel fittings that can be reused, and
are running Dessalator DUO 100.
Has anyone gone through the exercise of sourcing the HP hose
and reusing their own fittings? Any recommendations appreciated.
Thanks for your help
Best,
Soraya
