What this video covers
The owners of the aluminum sailboat *Jibsea* installed a 110-volt, two-membrane Seawater Pro water maker to achieve off-grid water independence.3:39 The system produces 38 to 40 gallons per hour and features stainless steel membrane housings and end caps, an upgrade from previous aluminum models.4:15 The installation involves mounting the high-pressure pump, feeder pump, and pre-filters in a designated port-side cabin, utilizing existing through-hulls for intake and brine discharge.7:30 The plumbing includes a manual ball valve for freshwater membrane flushing, replacing an automated garden-timer system, and a diverter valve to manage water quality via a TDS meter before routing output to three separate water tanks.17:36 Electrical work requires wiring the 110-volt motor to a generator or shore power and connecting the 12-volt feeder pump to a dedicated breaker switch.9:35 Additionally, the crew organized the galley using the Sylvie magnetic system, which includes magnetic spice jars, mills, and drinkware secured with metal strips and adhesive nanogel pads.0:52 The modular design of the water maker allows for flexible component placement and the use of non-proprietary, globally available replacement parts.5:02
