Rick, I have a Schenker 100 also for the past 18mo. Rather than disconnect the product line for a test line, I cut into the product line with a T-valve and permanent test line. I do not trust the desalination meter as I have seen it read from divert to bad to ok, and the ok can be over 500 tds, even over 600 tds. I therefore always run a sample out of the test line and check it with a hand meter like you did (I have two). World of difference between sub 300 tds and 500+ tds. Normal bottled water is usually high100's to low 200's. In my experience in the 300's is ok, over 400 is no bueno, can start to taste weird and taking in too high amount of electrolytes.

@dwade2026 2 года назад

I watched this entire video and I must say it was the most detailed on spot instruction about water makers I have ever seen, there is no doubt I'd have to call a professional to install it 🤣

@davidyendoll5903 2 года назад

Brilliant . A complicated system explained in everyone's language , as Rick usually manages for sure. Cool technology , cool family , cool life style . Please carry on educating and entertaining us . I am not jealous all ! lol . All the very best . Fair winds and I look forward to seeing the Pacific or whatever comes. Cheers from the Uk , Dave

You both look so very full of contentment... That's a beautiful thing ... Grateful to see your family is back making episodes an showing us the adventures of life on the hook in San Andres!! Thanks for sharing your lives with us , Fare winds an following sea's!! Big love an hugs to Maddy, Little Ricardo an Captain Rick✌🏼💗😊❣️

Sure is nice when everything works right and you get what your supposed to. Because you know it never does that every time, but then it's usually because some thing failed unexpectedly. Have a great day, stay safe and happy 😊

Great job explaining the system but consider labels for the hoses and wires for those who might be called upon to repair or perform maintenance if you are not available to explain it.

@rosco7722 2 года назад

G'day Rick, Mate I find it very surprising that you run your high pressure hoses with just the one hose clamp instead of two per connection which clamps I normally mount each clamp mounted opposing each other. However overall a very impressive installation and overall system. Well done ole mate. Cheers Rosco

Rick, what happens to the salt that is removed during the desalination process,? Does the system dump it back overboard?

@flyingcheff 2 года назад

@9thGenerationCajun 2 года назад

I've been wondering for a few years now why California isn't using water makers. It sure would solve a big problem or atleast one of them. Cheers Capt Rick I hope all is well.

@cardp17 2 года назад

the socialists value electricity much more than water and desalinization requires a lot of power

@SALFXEF 2 года назад

There are a few places like Hawaii that do use the salination systems the problem is when you clean the water you dump all the brine back into the ocean eventually you will raise the salt level so high that it will start to deteriorate the natural environments that the sea life lives in

@jimlofts5433 2 года назад

@@SALFXEF hmmm stop the rain then

@SALFXEF 2 года назад

@@jimlofts5433 You ask a question I give you an answer there is no salt in the rain yes there may beesome toxins in the rain from the atmosphere but just think about it if the world started drinking water from the ocean and pumping all the Bryant back in how quickly The ecological systems would be damaged don't ask a question if you don't want an answer

@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 2 года назад

@@SALFXEF An interesting asides if they go ahead with Na based rechargable battery Systems in place of Lithium chemistry for vehicles and they will have to to produce enough, not only will they producer safer lighter cheaper battery packs ..you can use the Na separated from the concentrated brine from large scale desalination plants. 😎🤞🏼 The Chloride's also used in chemical engineering feedstock along with other rarer elements like Lithium Ca, Mg, P, k, Cu etc.. Definately a result as California has several Desalination plants ... the problem is cost in terms of energy .. though if youve space you can use passive concentrated solar distillation.

No double up of hose clamps, especially on the high pressure lines?

20 L / 12 m * 60 m/h = 100 L/h. Basic math aside, making water with excess solar power is priceless! No no, it's for freeeeeeee!

How does the system work if you are anchored for a prolonged period of time as your are? Given discharge of black and grey water in your area around several boats?

@Bantie1 2 года назад

Rick, shouldn't you have a piece of rubber or leather on your 'new' brackets so the wiring won't rub through from friction?

is this grey water , or drinking water, ? if its RO water then it has no minerals so technically its emergency drinking water.

@jeffreysearle2996 2 года назад

I have owned over 20 bucks and with each one it takes a while to figure systems out, can you imagine the poor bastard who buys this thing when you decide to sell it, you may have to stay with the boat
