Sea Recovery Watermakers

Before anyone holds off buying a watermaker:

Graphene membrane technology update | Desalination.com

Uh ... where do you think all that de-salinated water is going to end up after it is used?

Consider that the calculated evaporation rate for the world's oceans is about 14 million cubic meters per second, it would take a lot of shoreside desal plants to compete.

And bottom line, what comes around goes around in the water world.

hello, I just signed up to this forum and just learning how to navigate around it. Having continual issues with my sea recovery watermaker and looking for posts from people with similar issues.

ok I did that, thanks.

Hello all,
New in this forum. have a 2013/Lagoon52 located in aegean sea. Have an originally installed a water maker Searecovery 1800 model 2012. My problem is, the remote display is not working anymore and not succeed to replaced it by local technicians. Is there anyone in the forum just to start the unit manually using remote display cables (just connecting or maybe a diy switch?). By the remote display unit I only need just to start the unit. Or do you have any idea to give the start order to the main unit by cable connection, or anyone dismantled the main screen and move to another place in a boat by extending its cables. very much appreciated to any idea. Thanks.
Deniz.

thank Pascal and apologies for the less info. Its a Searecovery src aqumatic modular 1800 unit. The problem is the remote touch display which is at the chart table and the water maker is located under the floor cover at the end of the starboard cabin. I'm starting from the main box unit now but trying to find out if any trigger possible just to start the water production button somehow. thanks.

thanks again. Pascal, let me tell you the issues I faced a short time ago about this unit... it was not producing water but giving an alert message which previous owner's captain and the local service advised me to change the membranes will be the solution. so I trusted and ordered a set, which cost me 2000USD last month. meanwhile waiting for the membrane, i personally tried to make a test which I found in the net. During this test somehow the booster pump was almost burning in couple minutes, it was so hot and I realized that the cooler propeller at the end of the pump was not running which also means the rotor was not turning but stucked. so I dissembled the booster pump at my garage and noticed that bearings was not perfect and also the spring surrounded water seal(don't know the name sorry) was broken. I changed all by myself which cost me 30USD (excluding my hourly rate) and I installed again and now working perfectly and producing 290lt/h (+1800g/d) with 380-430ppm salinity level at a not very clean marina water. as I'm not using this water to drink but showers and cleaning the boat which is OK for me. unfortunately in here the tech people do not care how much you pay but direct you to the most expensive solution all the time... unfortunately I have a lot of major costs these days due to a mid size maintenance this year you know...
So Pascal, do you think is it possible to dismantle the main screen from the unit and move to another place and extend the feeding cables along with it. do you think it works. I'm just try and see situation at the moment (with some logic of course), thanks.

thanks again. you're right, no error for the membrane fault but the water production level and the salinity ppm give some idea. I'll make some trials how to start the unit by remote before upgrading a new display set. Will share my experience in this topic.
