Hi Kent,
Thank you for the data point. It seems likely we have the same setup. I believe my membranes are 20", though I haven't measured them.

Hi Ryan, I have SM 243, she has a 24V 60 L/H Desallator. I'm not aboard now, but it sounds like that's what you have. Two 20" membranes? Kent

Hi all,
I'm unsure of which model Dessalator is installed on my boat. I've attached a photo.. The info on the label on the motor reads:
Amel No 830042 Type MBT1141L 29V60l/h9848
It appears this is a 24V-only unit. Is this typical? I haven't had luck searching the mailing list archives for more info. I think there is something wrong with Yahoo right now.. Can anyone identify this model?
This unit has 13 hours on it. That is not a typo. The previous owner said he used it a couple times when he first got the boat and then never again. I do not know if it was pickled at that time, nor if it has been flushed in the interim. Can anyone offer advice on what I should do before I try turning it on? I know I'll need to replace the membranes before I use it, but I just want to see if everything else works or if it needs a more serious overhaul.
Thanks, Ryan and Kelly SM 233 Iteration

I would turn it on and be prepared to test the TDS of the produced water.
This confirms what I have said before that many Amels were sold in Europe that never really went anywhere. I bet your downwind poles, rigging, and downwind sails are new as well.

Hi Bill,
I'm told my boat had about 35000 miles on it when I bought it. It was cruised extensively in Europe after purchase, it's been across the Atlantic at least once (maybe 3 times), been to Bermuda many times, and been all through the Caribbean many times. Frank just didn't see the value in the watermaker for some reason.
