Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The owner of a 38-foot sailboat, *Khalifa*, installs a Schenker Zen 30 watermaker while anchored in Grenada to achieve water independence.9:41 The unit produces approximately 30 liters of fresh water per hour while consuming 9 amps at 12 volts, or 110 watts.9:29 During the initial setup, the crew routes the brine discharge into the head and connects the fresh water output to the boat's main tank.4:27 The installation requires a 6-minute priming procedure using existing fresh water before the system switches to seawater.3:06 After verifying the water quality and flow rate, the owner permanently plumbs the system and installs a remote control panel.11:42 Following the watermaker project, the owner identifies an electrical imbalance in the existing lead-acid battery bank caused by a lack of a central busbar, leading to uneven charging and discharging across the batteries.19:44 He plans to upgrade to a lithium battery bank and install a Victron busbar system to ensure uniform load distribution and remote monitoring capabilities.20:39
