4.3 Installation
4.3.1
Water intake and discharge
For a correct installation of the watermaker it is necessary to arrange the following water intake and discharge
out of the board:
•
Seawater intake.
•
Fresh water intake for washing.
•
Brine discharge.
4.3.2
Seawater intake
Seacock with
through-hull
fitting
The ideal seawater intake should be 3/4" minimum
and located in a central position, well under the
waterline even when the vessel is well heeled over.
A scoop skin fitting is recommended. It must be
oriented to the bow of the boat.
In case of powerboats with a cruising speed above
15 knot it is advised to make a small hole (8 mm.
diameter) on the back of the shape, in order to
reduce dynamic prevalence during navigation.
