How often should a watermaker be serviced?
Routine servicing is generally recommended on an annual basis. Membrane preservation and system flushing are also advised during long periods of inactivity to prevent damage and maintain performance.
Do you replace filters and membranes?
Yes. We service all filtration stages, including pre-filters and post-filters, and replace membranes when required to ensure consistent output and water quality.
Why is my watermaker producing low output or poor-quality water?
Common causes include fouled or degraded membranes, blocked filters, incorrect pressure settings, or system calibration issues. We diagnose the cause and carry out the necessary corrective work.
Do you recommission watermakers after winter storage?
Yes. We fully recommission watermakers after winter lay-up, flushing preservation fluids, inspecting components, and testing the system before returning it to service.
Do you test water quality after servicing?
Yes. Water quality is checked after servicing to ensure it meets safe onboard standards before the system is signed off.
Can servicing be done dockside?
In most cases, yes. Routine servicing, diagnostics, and recommissioning can typically be carried out dockside, minimising disruption and downtime.
