At FCI Watermakers, our commitment and attention to detail transcends
beyond materials and construction. Things that are seemingly trivial are never
overlooked. For instance, your system’s specifications formulate the Model

Your FCI Reverse Osmosis Desalination System is designed to provide lasting
performance using high‑grade materials and uncompromising engineering. FCI
systems utilize high‑grade alloys in critical components, where competing brands often
use inferior material that compromise system operation and jeopardize the vessel.
NEW SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Although each system has been fully tested prior to shipping, there will be a
break‑in period. During this period, approximately 48 hours, the pumps and
membrane performance will change or settle. Small adjustments will need to
be made to the high‑pressure valve. The water quality and quantity will vary.
For a typical installation, the high‑pressure valve will need to be increased
(turned clockwise) and the water quality produced will improve over this
break‑in period. For systems with APC, this adjustment will be automatic.
FCI watermakers are the most advanced desalinating systems
available, which produce potable water from seawater or brackish
water. For over a twenty years, FCI Watermakers, Inc. has pioneered
technology and innovated features that have become standards
for today’s desalinators: one-touch commands, multiple station
operation and remote system control and monitoring, touchscreen
displays, and automated pressure control. As both engineers
and craftsmen, we specialize in high-performance, value-driven
watermakers and are proud of the thousands of continuously
operating units that have been cruising the globe for decades.
