DOWN BOY!!! The only angry aggressive response i have seen is yours - perhaps you want to take a chill pill OR write in a more lucid and understandable manner. Have you ever considered that the

Hi Roger, I am afraid that I am also totally confused by your posts. You seem to be confusing two separate areas of marine operation. I too have a Super Maramu and have had no problems at all with

Sorry if you thought my first posting was aggressive because that was not the intent. But your second posting has me just as totally confused as your first. I have read both several times and do

Aggression I can do without, thanks, go jump down someone else's throat. Clearly you didn't read my post or spend a moment thinking about it. In Australia at least, recycling sink water

Dear Ian and Gary; I have looked at the Simply Hydroponics website that Gary referred me to and it did have the answers to my question. So I'm getting one of the TDS meters--good selection on

I am totally confused by your response regarding grey water. Perhaps the term needs to be defined. The only marine definition of grey water that I am familiar with is the water run-off from the

Hi Hugh I considered the subject but abandoned it when I recalled that grey water is used mainly to flush toilets and water gardens, the former being done with sea water and the latter hardly

Greetings, can I ask advice regarding the routing all sink/shower grey water into the bilges? This is for a new boat not yet constructed. Is there a revised arrangement that AMEL might be persuaded to

Hi Capt Dan, Last winter I installed a Webasto heater, TP3500, in my Kirk. If you're interessed I can take pictures and give you some tips and tricks. Bart Amel Kirk 146 "Folie à Deux"

ANYONE OUT THERE INSTALLED A WEBASTO Hydronic Heater or similar heating system in their Super Maramu? If so can you fill me in on the do's and don't's? THANKS Capt Dan s/v PAPA II SM

Hi Ian: Regarding: "I am careful with o-rings and do clean the groove thoroughly before smearing them with silicone grease. Amel says that Vaseline will do. Being petroleum based, I am not so sure.

DAVID, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION!!! Here is a site that will hopefully answer your question: http://www.simplyhydro.com/tds-ec.htm To quote from that site (which by the way is

Hi John, Amel told me 25 Micron on the pre filter and 5 Micron on the next filter (closest to the pump). It's worked well for me though when heeled to port, the inlet through hull can get uncovered

Hello David, I believe that TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids. Yes it measures the water purity by immersing two probes in the water and taking a measurement. Quite what is measured, I don't

Hi John & Anne, I am a bit confused as to your two sets of TDS readings. I have never seen anything as low as 100-200, but somewhere around 550 has been common in the past. I went to a seminar once

Hi Gary, Thanks for your thoughts. I am careful with o-rings and do clean the groove thoroughly before smearing them with silicone grease. Amel say that Vaseline will do. Being petroleum based, I am

Hi Bill & Judy, Thank you for your quick response. I did not believe for one moment that I was alone in experiencing this type of failure. Let's hope the black material is more resilient. My latest

Forgive my ignorance--What is a TDS reading, and how is it obtained. Presumably it has to do with water purity? -- David Goodman email: drdavegoodman@... cell: 608-772-0634 STT:

Perhaps my last message was not clear. It seems to me that if the high pressure pump produces high pressures on the out side it will produce huge suction on the in side and if it cannot get water it

It may or may not be relevant but I replaced the saltwater filters recently using a 30 and a 3 micron filters. The 3 micron one was too much drag on flow and resulted in the reading on the top meter
