Maya and Aladino install a SolarMax 340 level 1 watermaker from the Canadian manufacturer Electromax aboard their small sailboat.▶ 3:07 The system utilizes a Clark pump, a pressure-intensifying device that allows the unit to operate using low-pressure feed pumps, significantly reducing electrical consumption compared to traditional high-pressure pump designs.▶ 1:54 Because the boat lacks space for the factory-compacted square configuration, the crew disassembles the modular components to fit a custom, elongated layout.▶ 9:21 To ensure field repairability, they fabricate custom high-pressure hoses using SAE 100 mechanical fittings, which require only a vise and a crescent wrench rather than a hydraulic press.▶ 10:02 The installation includes adding new through-hulls for raw water intake and brine discharge.▶ 15:44 During the initial commissioning in Gibsons, the system requires air purging and minor adjustments to push-to-connect fittings to resolve leaks.▶ 20:16 Once fully bled, the unit produces water with a total dissolved solids (TDS) reading of 14 PPM.▶ 24:28
