Re: Dessalator Watermakers & Filmtec Membranes
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

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

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

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

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

Re: Dessalator Watermakers & Filmtec Membranes
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"

Re: Dessalator Watermakers & Filmtec Membranes
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.

Re: A54 hawsehole and chain guide
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

Re: Dessalator Watermakers & Filmtec Membranes
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
