Anne and John Hollamby,

I have photos of both pumps which I will post in "Dessalator Water Maker Service" in the photo section of this website in about an hour. I will attempt to get you sizes of the fittings attached.

I did find out that the specs of the pump are: 230v 300w 900liters/hour and 3.5 bar of pressure and that a new pump from Dessalator is 802 Euros...that may make you feel better about your repair.

Best,

Bill

Hi Bill,
I had my LP Pump serviced by Dessalateur at huge cost. It has come back without some of the fittings to the four ins and outs and I am not sure which one does which. Please tell me

Best wishes from Malta, John, SM219 Bali Hai

Hi Bill, we use a Surflo controlled pressure pump before the high pressure pump it has a rate of 3.2 gal per min or 192 per hour at 30 psi.. with an auto shut off if pressure goes to high. That should do the deed for you. It was an easy install out of the salt water manifold into a 30 micron filter and to the pre-high pressure pump to the high pressure pump. No starvation to the high pressure pump just clean water? salt water. We also use a 10 micron charcoal filter before from the fresh water tank before the fresh water pressure system to be very sure we get NO chlorine into the membrane.
Good luck..

Does anyone have the specs on the 230v low pressure pump on the 160lph water maker. I am looking for gallons/hour or some such water flow spec to be able to buy a spare/replacement pump. I emailed Dessalator, but no response. I guess they knew that I was probably looking to buy the pump elsewhere.

Best,

Bill
