Bill, You asked why neither of us noticed the pump cycling. It took 12 hours just to fill the seachest. At that rate the accumulater tank may be able to supply the tiny trickle of water, and it

Eric, On Wanderer there is a manual valve that controls water to the Duo60 Dessalator Pre-Filter. Both freshwater and seawater are connected to it. In one position it permits seawater to enter the
