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

SS chain has a lower WLL and is a bit more brittle than galvanized high test (G40) ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Specs online are max pressure 69 bar/1000 psi. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt A50#27

Mat, Not according to Dessalator who states that the green bar on their high-pressure gauge is set for between 60 - 65 BAR. And according to Filmtec the Maximum operating pressure is 69 BAR

Won’t running over 56-58 bar affect the membrane life? Off hand do you know the pressure range specs for the membrane? I run ours at the low end of the green, thinking I’m being

I learned something today with from a great 54 owner, fromDessalator, and from reading the recent specifications sheet for Filmtec SW30membranes. · The actual pressure for the Green Zone on a

I have witnessed a SS anchor chain snap before my own eyes and helped dealing with the emergency to save the boat (not an amel) from the lee shore in the swell of the marquesas and that kind of put me

Hi Teun, No, it’s only when we let out the full chain for whatever reason. So it’s very rare and only to minimise the chance of bungling it during business as usual. (That rarely happens anyway,

Hello Scott, In 2007, Amel used to buy SS chains from WASI GERMANY. Olivier BEAUTÉ Envoyé de mon iPhone
