valve at the fitting near the drain tube. This tube is used to discharge the solution from
the system back into the buckets for re-circulation. Position the discharge hose in the
same bucket as the service hose.
12. Start the high-pressure pump (MAN setting). It may take a couple of minutes for the
pump to flush the air out of the system and stabilize.
13. Run this configuration for 30 minutes per bucket.
14. If cleaning, then flush system with fresh water for 15 minutes and then repeat the above
steps for the pickling process. Otherwise, turn off the pump and close all valves to secure
the solution in the system.
15. The pickling solution will pickle the system for as long as one year, according to the
manual. Before next use, flush for 60 minutes before making water.
Watermaker Filter Notes
Miscellaneous Operating Tips
I use either a 3 or 5 micron filter for the watermaker. These filters clog quite easily if the water
has algae or other stuff in it. When the filter becomes clogged, the watermaker shuts itself down
due to inadequate supply of raw water. Water should be made outside of anchorages and in
crystal clear water if at all possible.
Water Tank Maintenance
Once a year, or once every three months in the tropics, sanitize the water tank and hoses:
•
Empty the water tank (run it dry and turn the freshwater pump breaker off)
•
Mix ¼ cup of liquid dishwashing detergent and 1/8 cup of bleach; pour carefully into
freshwater fill on the deck (ensure it is the water fill deck fitting and be careful not to
spill soap or bleach on the teak deck)
•
Add about 10 gallons of clean, sanitized water to the tank
•
Turn on pump breaker
•
Open each tap and shower head valve and actuate the galley foot pump. Close each
valve as soon as the cleaning solution appears at the respective faucet.
•
Let everything sit for about one hour.
•
Open each valve and run the rest of the cleaning solution out. (WK: one at a time
hot/cold with fin
•
Follow with four washes of about 10 gallons each of freshwater through the tank.
•
Completely refill and completely drain the tank with all faucets open, periodically
alternating each faucet between full-on hot setting and full-on cold setting to ensure
that all the cleaning mixture gets flushed out.
•
Add about 10 gallons to the tank and taste test. If no soap taste, refill entire tank with
clean, sanitized water. If soapy taste, refill ¼ to ½, flush and retest.
•
Fit new filters as necessary:
o
Clean the screen on the water pump pump-guard in the engine room when
performing the cleaning, or otherwise as may be required.
o
Change the freshwater filter (located in the engine room after the above cleaning,
when visibly dirty or maybe every 1000 gallons or so, depending on the type of
filter being used.
§ Unscrew housing and discard old filter.
