    I like the water maker install. Just one technical point. The 110v supply that you said you can connect either way, is an AC supply. So it won't make the motor turn the opposite way. Whichever way you connect it, the pump will turn the same way.
    I like the idea of the manual rinse valve. Keep things simple.

    Build a small manifold with valves and one-way check valves to choose where to send the fresh water. You could put it next to the Tank/Test valve. I do like these Seawater Pro systems and think I'll get one when it is time.

    Love your videos there, Canadian. Me too! BTW ... 3 phase as you say is a far different 440 volts or more(as in industrial supply) The phase is a function of the tap off the transformer on the pole at the street, etc . The wire I presume you are using is 14/2 (15 amps), or 12/2 (20 amps) and the green ground is necessary of course but one usually does not count the ground wire into the name. Eg: 14/3 is black, red, white and ground which will give you 220 volts across black/red in N. America. Sorry to be persnickity but hardware stores these days usually call a common extension cord 3 lead when that is incorrect. It is 2 lead and the green ground is a given. Love your new boat, your great explanations, your journeys and your presentation. Smooth sailing.

    Niiiiiiiiiice work, Travis !!!!! Sea Water Pro is your go-to as individual parts are a SMART IDEA for living aboard !! Have you heard of Sun Pure?? Also made with the same philosophy.....separate parts which are available all over the world. It is fun seeing you both put together your new live aboard boat. See you next time. ✨🌊⛵⚓🌴👙🌞✨

    Thanks for the updated insight into a Seawater Pro System, as they had already made it to the top of my list of potential Water maker suppliers, and had started thinking in terms of getting one with a larger output than a 12 volt system, precisely for regularly washing the Salt out of Sails, the Chain locker, washing the side decks, and Dodger and Bimini to help all to last as long as possible, with the added bonus of plenty of water for Showers. Nice installation. 👍 Bob In Wales Still.❤️⛵️🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    Nice video.. Sea water pro seems like a great system.. If it wasn’t for the price I would absolutely love sea water pro.. I hate spending money ugh.. We are slowly preparing to move to our boat living so far from our boat makes it expensive and difficult plus our boys are still in school. My wife Maria and I love your advice and new projects you do but mostly your positive attitude and energy.. We are young whipper snappers like you and we move slower since we know nothing about boats.. Thanks for the inspiration.. Take care

    Have your water hose from the water maker go to a 3 way manifold block that then has a hose going from the manifold block to each of your tanks. You then can select which tank you want to fill by opening the valve on the manifold block and closing the valves to the tanks that you don't want to fill.

  • @BudaPeter
    @BudaPeter Місяць тому

    Looks good. But the unanswered question is about the condition of the tanks. What have you done to check their condition and clean them out? And that space - you really need to wipe out all that brown stuff in there! Love your videos!

    • @SailingJibsea

    Is that a watertight bulkhead you've just fed the membranes through? I found the previous owner of my boat had passed the 6" hot air vent through the bulkhead that would stop me sinking if the rudder seal failed!
