I am very happy with his service and recommendations but I thought they were very expensive… $90 for each fitting, so over $400 for 2 hoses and $100 shipping from France… I also bought the Oring kit for HP pump 277 from him at a price of $461… since later on I found that same kit for less than $100 I was hoping to find the hose for less… Sincerely, Alexandre -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 6/12/15, Kent Robertson karkauai@...

I bought a hydraulic hose replacement at a local shop in Abacos, Bahamas for $75. I ordered two replacements from Charleston Rubber and Gasket (http://www.chasragco.com/product.aspx?catid=87 ) with food-grade hoses and stainless fittings for $35 each (plus shipping). Sorry, I'm not on the boat so I don't have the fitting sizes, but I know they are metric and "standard" thread. The threads are the same on both ends of the high pressure hose and output hose going from the membranes to the panel in the galley.You can probably get Mark at Great Waters Marine Systems (the US Dessalator guy) in Massachusetts to tell you the fitting size...he's very accomodating. I should be back on the boat next week, I'll post the fitting sizes/threads then.KentSM243Kristy From: "Alexandre Uster von Baar uster@...

Sent: Friday, June 12, 2015 8:14 AM Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator High Pressure Hoses Good morning Bill, In my case the hose failed near the fitting attached to the CAT 277 pump. It spread water up to the ceiling. I would guess the hose that failed were the one before the membranes (because of the higher pressure). To me it looks like there is a lots of vibrations from this pump. So I installed the new hose will less of a bent/turn. I think it would be wise to install some type of device so that in case of failure the water is not spread on the water chargers, etc. Possibly a larger hose just sitting that would redirect the water in a less critical area. Also, in my case it seems that when the 24 volt electric motor is on for the water maker, the 220 volt is also turning. I don't think it should. How could I solve this issue? Part to change? Or clean? Sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT Taino Beach, Grand Bahama -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 6/12/15, 'Bill & Judy Rouse' yahoogroups@...

Date: Thursday, June 11, 2015, 1:05 PM The Dessalator 160 Liter water maker has do it yourself (DIY) High Pressure fittings on the hoses. The ends come off and you can install them on new hose with just simple tools. My experience and my experience in this group tells me these have about a 5 year life as long as they are not exposed to caustic chemicals, overuse of pickling chemicals, or petroleum products. This life is not dependent on use, but age only. If you happen to go over five years, the salt water spewing in your engine compartment can be very destructive. The hose on BeBe is marked: ZEC VE740000 SAE 100 R7 5/16" Made in Italy I am due for replacement and hope to get some soon. In my case I figure 5 meters is plenty.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator High Pressure Hoses
yahoogroups@...
I am in Italy and just bought 5 meters of hose from a hydraulic parts shop for 40 euro, or 8 euro a meter (no invoice...you know, Italy).
I also just uploaded the information about Dessalator hose end devices.

I am very happy with his service and recommendations but I thought they were very expensive… $90 for each fitting, so over $400 for 2 hoses and $100 shipping from France… I also bought the Oring kit for HP pump 277 from him at a price of $461… since later on I found that same kit for less than $100 I was hoping to find the hose for less… Sincerely, Alexandre -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 6/12/15, Kent Robertson karkauai@...

I bought a hydraulic hose replacement at a local shop in Abacos, Bahamas for $75. I ordered two replacements from Charleston Rubber and Gasket (http://www.chasragco.com/product.aspx?catid=87 ) with food-grade hoses and stainless fittings for $35 each (plus shipping). Sorry, I'm not on the boat so I don't have the fitting sizes, but I know they are metric and "standard" thread. The threads are the same on both ends of the high pressure hose and output hose going from the membranes to the panel in the galley.You can probably get Mark at Great Waters Marine Systems (the US Dessalator guy) in Massachusetts to tell you the fitting size...he's very accomodating. I should be back on the boat next week, I'll post the fitting sizes/threads then.KentSM243Kristy From: "Alexandre Uster von Baar uster@...

Sent: Friday, June 12, 2015 8:14 AM Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator High Pressure Hoses Good morning Bill, In my case the hose failed near the fitting attached to the CAT 277 pump. It spread water up to the ceiling. I would guess the hose that failed were the one before the membranes (because of the higher pressure). To me it looks like there is a lots of vibrations from this pump. So I installed the new hose will less of a bent/turn. I think it would be wise to install some type of device so that in case of failure the water is not spread on the water chargers, etc. Possibly a larger hose just sitting that would redirect the water in a less critical area. Also, in my case it seems that when the 24 volt electric motor is on for the water maker, the 220 volt is also turning. I don't think it should. How could I solve this issue? Part to change? Or clean? Sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT Taino Beach, Grand Bahama -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 6/12/15, 'Bill & Judy Rouse' yahoogroups@...

Date: Thursday, June 11, 2015, 1:05 PM The Dessalator 160 Liter water maker has do it yourself (DIY) High Pressure fittings on the hoses. The ends come off and you can install them on new hose with just simple tools. My experience and my experience in this group tells me these have about a 5 year life as long as they are not exposed to caustic chemicals, overuse of pickling chemicals, or petroleum products. This life is not dependent on use, but age only. If you happen to go over five years, the salt water spewing in your engine compartment can be very destructive. The hose on BeBe is marked: ZEC VE740000 SAE 100 R7 5/16" Made in Italy I am due for replacement and hope to get some soon. In my case I figure 5 meters is plenty.

Hello Kent,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
As I wrote, I purchased my spare high pressure hoses from Mark at Great Water. I am very happy with his service and recommendations but I thought they were very expensive… $90 for each fitting, so over $400 for 2 hoses and $100 shipping from France… I also bought the Oring kit for HP pump 277 from him at a price of $461… since later on I found that same kit for less than $100 I was hoping to find the hose for less… Sincerely, Alexandre --------------------------------------------

Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator High Pressure Hoses To: "amelyachtowners@..." <amelyachtowners@...> Date: Friday, June 12, 2015, 8:54 AM A few years ago my hose failed at the input to the membranes, that was "repaired" by Ray Eaton, and the next time out, it failed at the pump. I bought a hydraulic hose replacement at a local shop in Abacos, Bahamas for $75. I ordered two replacements from Charleston Rubber and Gasket (http://www.chasragco.com/product.aspx?catid=87 ) with food-grade hoses and stainless fittings for $35 each (plus shipping). Sorry, I'm not on the boat so I don't have the fitting sizes, but I know they are metric and "standard" thread. The threads are the same on both ends of the high pressure hose and output hose going from the membranes to the panel in the galley.You can probably get Mark at Great Waters Marine Systems (the US Dessalator guy) in Massachusetts to tell you the fitting size...he's very accomodating. I should be back on the boat next week, I'll post the fitting sizes/threads then.KentSM243Kristy From: "Alexandre Uster von Baar uster@...

Sent: Friday, June 12, 2015 8:14 AM Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator High Pressure Hoses Good morning Bill, In my case the hose failed near the fitting attached to the CAT 277 pump. It spread water up to the ceiling. I would guess the hose that failed were the one before the membranes (because of the higher pressure). To me it looks like there is a lots of vibrations from this pump. So I installed the new hose will less of a bent/turn. I think it would be wise to install some type of device so that in case of failure the water is not spread on the water chargers, etc. Possibly a larger hose just sitting that would redirect the water in a less critical area. Also, in my case it seems that when the 24 volt electric motor is on for the water maker, the 220 volt is also turning. I don't think it should. How could I solve this issue? Part to change? Or clean? Sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT Taino Beach, Grand Bahama -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 6/12/15, 'Bill & Judy Rouse' yahoogroups@...

Date: Thursday, June 11, 2015, 1:05 PM The Dessalator 160 Liter water maker has do it yourself (DIY) High Pressure fittings on the hoses. The ends come off and you can install them on new hose with just simple tools. My experience and my experience in this group tells me these have about a 5 year life as long as they are not exposed to caustic chemicals, overuse of pickling chemicals, or petroleum products. This life is not dependent on use, but age only. If you happen to go over five years, the salt water spewing in your engine compartment can be very destructive. The hose on BeBe is marked: ZEC VE740000 SAE 100 R7 5/16" Made in Italy I am due for replacement and hope to get some soon. In my case I figure 5 meters is plenty.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator High Pressure Hoses
I really don't like the fittings on the original hoses...The replacements I bought should last a decade or more and don't depend on the (I think) questionable fittings on the originals.

Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2015 3:31 PM Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator High Pressure Hoses Bill, I have seen two SM's where the hoses failed on passage. The result was catastrophic. The Cat pump kept working away sprayed salt water everywhere but destroyed the battery chargers completely. Dessalinator are outrageous with their prices. They quoted me Euros 550 plus vat and shipping three years ago for new hoses. I had them made up in Ireland, albeit the fittings were mild steel in a hydraulic shop for Euros 70 the pair.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator High Pressure Hoses
A few years ago my hose failed at the input to the membranes, that was "repaired" by Ray Eaton, and the next time out, it failed at the pump. I bought a hydraulic hose replacement at a local shop in Abacos, Bahamas for $75. I ordered two replacements from Charleston Rubber and Gasket (http://www.chasragco.com/product.aspx?catid=87 ) with food-grade hoses and stainless fittings for $35 each (plus shipping). Sorry, I'm not on the boat so I don't have the fitting sizes, but I know they are metric and "standard" thread. The threads are the same on both ends of the high pressure hose and output hose going from the membranes to the panel in the galley. You can probably get Mark at Great Waters Marine Systems (the US Dessalator guy) in Massachusetts to tell you the fitting size...he's very accomodating. I should be back on the boat next week, I'll post the fitting sizes/threads then. Kent SM243 Kristy From: "Alexandre Uster von Baar uster@... [amelyachtowners]" To: amelyachtowners@... Sent: Friday, June 12, 2015 8:14 AM Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator High Pressure Hoses Good morning Bill,
In my case the hose failed near the fitting attached to the CAT 277 pump. It spread water up to the ceiling. I would guess the hose that failed were the one before the membranes (because of the higher pressure). To me it looks like there is a lots of vibrations from this pump. So I installed the new hose will less of a bent/turn. I think it would be wise to install some type of device so that in case of failure the water is not spread on the water chargers, etc. Possibly a larger hose just sitting that would redirect the water in a less critical area. Also, in my case it seems that when the 24 volt electric motor is on for the water maker, the 220 volt is also turning. I don't think it should. How could I solve this issue? Part to change? Or clean? Sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT Taino Beach, Grand Bahama -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 6/12/15, 'Bill & Judy Rouse' yahoogroups@...

Date: Thursday, June 11, 2015, 1:05 PM The Dessalator 160 Liter water maker has do it yourself (DIY) High Pressure fittings on the hoses. The ends come off and you can install them on new hose with just simple tools. My experience and my experience in this group tells me these have about a 5 year life as long as they are not exposed to caustic chemicals, overuse of pickling chemicals, or petroleum products. This life is not dependent on use, but age only. If you happen to go over five years, the salt water spewing in your engine compartment can be very destructive. The hose on BeBe is marked: ZEC VE740000 SAE 100 R7 5/16" Made in Italy I am due for replacement and hope to get some soon. In my case I figure 5 meters is plenty.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator High Pressure Hoses
Alexandre Uster von Baar
Good morning Bill,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
In my case the hose failed near the fitting attached to the CAT 277 pump. It spread water up to the ceiling. I would guess the hose that failed were the one before the membranes (because of the higher pressure). To me it looks like there is a lots of vibrations from this pump. So I installed the new hose will less of a bent/turn. I think it would be wise to install some type of device so that in case of failure the water is not spread on the water chargers, etc. Possibly a larger hose just sitting that would redirect the water in a less critical area. Also, in my case it seems that when the 24 volt electric motor is on for the water maker, the 220 volt is also turning. I don't think it should. How could I solve this issue? Part to change? Or clean? Sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT Taino Beach, Grand Bahama --------------------------------------------

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator High Pressure Hoses
seafeverofcuan@...
Bill,
I have seen two SM's where the hoses failed on passage. The result was catastrophic. The Cat pump kept working away sprayed salt water everywhere but destroyed the battery chargers completely. Dessalinator are outrageous with their prices. They quoted me Euros 550 plus vat and shipping three years ago for new hoses. I had them made up in Ireland, albeit the fittings were mild steel in a hydraulic shop for Euros 70 the pair. Regards, Trevor Seafever of Cuan SM425 Mexico

So with s shelf life is 5 to 6 years, it means that having spares for that long won't really help? Regarding the High pressure fitting, just requires "regular" tools? Sincerely, Alexandre --------------------------------------------

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Haul out and Coppercoat
Andrew and Bill,
The PO had the "Oceoprotec" system applied to Brava in the summer of 2011 while in Turkey. He then had it "touched up" in a couple of places on the keel in 2012 (under warranty) when he got to Guadeloupe. His experience, as confirmed by me for the last two years, is that there is only mossy growth that can be easily scrubbed off underwater, or by pressure washing during haulout. No barnacles or hard growths, except in hard-to-access places like between the rudder and the skeg where the coating may have been less successfully applied. There is also a light dusting of crumbly calcifications that are easily brushed off. The Oceoprotec system is also particulate copper suspended in epoxy resin. After five years with no further anti-fouling applications I would have to say I am pleased with the result. The original copper color has turned to a pleasant green-black over time. I am told that the PO paid approximately 8,000 euro for the Oceoprotec system installation, which included removal of old anti fouling, several layers of epoxy undercoat, and then three layers of the copper/epoxy resin. I'll keep you posted on how long it lasts. It was waranteed for 5 years. Derick SM2K #400 Brava Currently in Leinster Bay, St. John, US Virgin Islands

Good morning Bill & Derick,

I had the same problem. If the battery charger was ON (from shore power or genset) the fresh water pump would recycle quickly. If OFF then the fresh water pump would stay on for longer and I switch it off on the 24 volt panel. I cleaned it like I had done before didn’t solve the issue. About a month ago, I did like Bill just described: Lower the pressure and now I no longer have the problem. I am happy with the result as it solved the problem, but I think I only treated the symptoms and not the cause. Checking each battery is next on my list.

Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Fresh Water Pump Cycling To: amelyachtowners@... Date: Thursday, June 11, 2015, 7:14 AM Derick, Have you load checked your house batteries? My guess is that one or more batteries could be bad. The way the pressure switch works is it cuts off the electric motor by mechanically breaking the positive and negative connection to the motor when the desired (owner set) pressure is met by the pump. It is a DC motor, so it will turn slower with low voltage, so that could account for running continuously. You can lower the desired pressure by taking off the cover of the square D pressure switch and unscrewing the larger of the two adjustment nuts. If I were you, I would back off one complete turn to see if that helps. Try one turn at a time, but not more than three turns. If it does not help return the adjustment to its original position. The pressure switch can get dirty inside the pressure orfice. You can see this and clean it with QTips, by removing the switch. Read my recent posting in the photo section on how to remove. Reassemble with really good thread dope and thread tape. Be careful with the small brass pipe fitting between the vertical bronze pipe and the pressure switch. It is possible to screw this fitting into the bronze pipe too far, and/or strip the threads in the bronze pipe.

This year we scraped the hull back to the gelcoat and (close your ears Bill!) applied Coppercoat– with two of us working pretty hard, the whole process took about 2 weeks - we scraped 10 years of antifouling off with tungsten carbide bladed scrapers (we bought 4 different types of scrapers only the Bahco 665 scrapers were any good - fortunately we bought two of each type) – the scraping took 6 days, sanding the primer took 2 days back to gelcoat, 3 coats of 3M GP120 epoxy took 2 days and the Coppercoat epoxy took 1 day + extra days after the boat was repositioned, for the rest of the keel and pads. We had the engine injectors changed earlier in the year and I overhauled the Autoprop while waiting for the epoxy coats to dry. I have to say though that we do not seem at the moment to be able to get the main and mizzen sails rolled in such that only the UV strip is showing which is a bit disappointing. With this work also the engine (Yanmar 110HP) was able to reach 3500+ revs easily. Andrew & Kate Ronpische SM2k 472 Canet en Roussillion, France From: amelyachtowners@...

The thin line was indeed attached to a swivel on the foil, with a long black pin sticking through the slot in the mast. Found no damage, the previous rigger's knots had just come undone. Tied it back up with multiple loops through the fabric loop at the head of the sail using bowlines instead of half hitches, leaving about 4 inches between the head of the sail and the swivel. With this length, the luff could still be properly tensioned (I would not use more length than 4 inches). I took advantage of the mainsail being down to sew up some rather frayed vertical batten pockets (Bill Rouse can say "I told you so" about using vertical battens). The sails are Hydranet and about 7 years old, and except for the wear on the batten pockets seem to be in very good shape. All is now back to normal. Thanks for the help.
