The Spectra Ventura 200T watermaker experiences high-pressure shutdowns in cold water, as the unit is optimized for tropical temperatures above 50°F.21:53 When operating in freezing conditions, the feed pump pressure spikes to its 125–130 psi limit, causing the system to cut out.20:56 To resolve this, Steve plans to replace the center block pump with a Ventura 150 model, which operates at a lower recovery percentage and reduced pressure, allowing the pump to function in cold water without triggering a high-pressure shutdown.22:37 The project also includes installing new sail covers and discussing potential branding for the stack packs.24:37
