Cheers for the gin. I have new end caps (from Amel), however I did not receive the membranes yet and I am away from the boat. The job will be done in January and I will report the resulting TDS. Happy

Hi John and Anne, Just got our Sheerwater 280. NZ to Falmouth by sea and Miami to Montevideo air freight---and worth every penny.We can launch it by hand form the aft deck and retrieval is a cinch

Thanks , Michael. Did you change the endcaps and bobbin at the same time and if so did you get them from Caroline Oldham or Amel? By the way, I have found the solution to shot membranes. Mine were

Hi Jan & Judy, I ordered the membranes from Air Ice & Water, the reference is SW30-2521 and they cost $158 each. Prior to ordering, I consulted with Caroline at Advance Yachts who represent Dessalator

We made the mistake using the microwave with 60hz...it will work, but it will shorten the life of the microwave. The breaker would trip whenever we attempted to use the microwave longer than about

Hi Peter, The microwave can be used with 60 Hz, but I am told that excessive use is bad for the microwave generator. The convection function, however, is not compatible. The dishwasher, like the

Hi Michael, I now need to replace my D60 membranes. What was the reference for your replacements? Did you get them from AirIce and waht did they charge for two? Fair winds, Ian Jenkins, Pen Azen,

Does anyone know if there is a problem using 60 cycle current with the dishwasher and microwave. Apparantly, there is not a problem with the airconditioner. Happy New Year Peter Pappas 'CALLISTO'

Dear Gary and others! Thanks for all the interesting comments. I seem to have opened a can of worms! My SM2000 "Asolare" has a 60 l/m Duo fitted and I thought that as long as the indicator showed

Hi John, Thanks for email. The gang planck has clearly been a problem for Amel but the latest version appears to be excellent as the two piece unit retracts as the hand hold folds neatly into a

I had this problem for a long time, namely access to messages but not to photos or other members-only selections. It was resolved when I discovered that I had somehow over the years set up two

Gary, About half of the time we run our Clima units on 50hz and the other half at 60hz. The authorized Climma agent in Trinidad said that there would be no problem...there has not been. Merry

Gary, I run my a/c units all summer on 6o cycles and most of the winter in St martin also on 60 cycles -so far no problems. Fair Winds, Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite _____

Hi Gary, Anne tackled this problem last summer. The really hard bit was removing the adhesive. The film goes under the stainless trim and some could be pulled out and the rest was cut flush. I suppose

Hello all members with Climma AC on their boats: I am installing a new 4th Climma Compact 10EH air conditioner to help cool the saloon/galley area of my Super Maramu. The dealer in Annapolis who

Charlie: Thanks for the painting suggestion. I will pursue that option. I saw a new 54 the other day and from a distance it seemed that the black panels were still covered with the same

Thanks Judy, I found the membranes to fit the D60 and I have thaken the assembly apart before. So thanks again for taking the time to respond, Michael --- Judy <sailingjudy@...>

I believe the D60 is different from our model. Our model is the Dessalator 160 which is the 240 volt 50 hz, 160 liter/hour watermaker. The membranes we purchased from Air Water and Ice are
