E HOSE PROTECT YOUR MEMBRANES WITH BLANKETS 5 1 Maintaining the membrane After 1 000 working hours it is normal that the flow lowers between 10 and 15 If more you should think of replacing the membranes e The volume of production of your watermaker can be made over the first 24 to 48 hours of operation If the drinking water produced falls below the normal working specifications sea water containing a TDS of 35 000 ppm a sea water temperature of 25 C and pressure of 65 bars and if production is not improved by rinsing the membrane then the membrane has to be replaced e Please take into consideration that the volume of drinking water produced is dependent on ideal sea water temperature and on pressure in the system Therefore if the volume of drinking water produced falls it does not necessarily mean that the membrane need to be replaced 5 2 Rinsing the membranes Once a week the watermaker needs to be flushed with fresh water before using it to make fresh water There is no need to flush it with fresh water after each use as this is just a waste of water that taken from the boat s tank There are 2 methods to flush the system manual and automatic Both systems are using the water that are in the tanks of the boat and there is no use in water from the dock or a connection of any hose from a source outside the boat Remember The biggest enemy of the membranes is fresh water Fresh water should be always us
