hello all, I plan to install a SCUBA compressor to fill the tanks and it will run using my 5.5 kw genset. Looking for recommendations on makes and model from those that have them onboard.

Hi We need to put in a new bow thruster motor (Sleipner). We had a Sleipner technician looking at it and sent us a new motor. So far everything looked alright but when our technician loosened the

Craig, I should not have used psi to convey what I meant, I always operate my W/M at the low end of the green zone in salt water, and in fresh water the couple of times I have ran it just to be sure

Ken i ask Victron for his batteries a BMS for all batteries There is my concern if this fails and it is not noticed all batteries damaged if each battery has a BMS is only one damaged. Elja Von

Elja, Each LifePo4 battery has some type of BMS. Most are internal. IT manages the charge and draw down for each of the cells inside it. Prevents overcharging, prevents draining the battery, and makes

He Ken So i think shout prevere 24 V batteries with a BMS on each batterie ?? Is it right ? Thanks Elja SM Balu 222 Von meinem iPhone gesendet

Hi Pat, If you run 800 psi in fresh water you will definitely damage your membrane. You want to limit the product water flow to that rated for the membrane in terms of LPH or GPH, definitely not the

This is my first posting to the forum. I am planning out my future with a buddy for circumnavigation and living on the boat. I am going to get either a SM2k or a Beneteau 57. Batteries are a huge plan

Hi Scott, Actually, I only run the AC for 3 to 4 hours because I don't want to cycle the batteries too low, and I also want to save battery for the next day. If the batteries are full, I could run

141L/h for the Duo100? I’ve never experienced that, even with brand new (2017) membranes at 500h operation in the Med or during the following 400h of operation in the Atlantic tropics and the

Tom, Another owner posted a youtube video ,where a major manufacturer ,it may have been Spectra ,but not positive answered that question . He said as long as you are careful not to exceed the max psi

Arno, I had CROMOX quoted to me in December 2019 by MARINE TRADERS SUPPLIES in COOMERA QLD AUSTRALIA: AU$100 per 1 meter – about USD7,300 for 100 meters. My initial reaction was “No fffing

HI Tom, I think I'm the guy whose name escaped you. No problem - it's not the first time ;-) I posted a while ago that the belief you cannot run in brackish water is a long standing "old wives tale"

If upping the pressure above 800 psi I would first make sure that the pressure vessel and the end cap seals are able to withstand the higher pressure. Dave Wallace sv Air Ops Maramu#104

Tom, I am sorry, I said Filmtec. This quote was from another water maker using Filmtec membranes. You will find it

Tom, Filmtec states the following about the SW30 2540 membrane, "This membrane is rated for a maximum 700 gallons per day, we use it in our watermakers to produce actual 21 gallons per hour from

This is not an area of expertise for me. However, I would like to either make a couple of points or ask of couple of questions, depending on my depth of knowledge. The Dessalator manual mentions not

Oliver, If WASI supplied that chain it is not good news as they supply either AISI304 or AISI316L chain. That is not suitable for long term anchoring as the steel needs to be exposed to the air

Hi Thomas, There was a reason I said cromox chain. There are many, many different qualities of SS. If you are at anchor for extended period of time some of those will suffer crevice corrosion because

Thanks Bill, After I asked, I figured I’d man-up and search for myself. I found the exact page you posted. I guess it’s safe to run a bit higher pressure. The WM will shut off if the pressure goes
