Water Maker Update

Our Schenker Watermaker has been running perfectly for the last 4 months (touch wood). The unit is making 30 litres an hour at a water temperature of 23 degreec C.  I’m changing the pre filter every 4 days and cleaning it with sea water rinsing in freshwater then hanging it out to dry in the sun for four days. This way two filters last around two months.

The total cost per year for filters is around £60 plus cleaning chemicals and pickling chemicals this brings the total service cost to around £100 per year.

More news on the watermaker in due course.

Insurance and what happened when we needed to claim

After a small incident with a rock, details in a previous post, our Insurance company GJW Direct made no fuss what so ever. They were very helpfull and sorted the claim out in less time then it took to get quotes for the job.

Very efficient and their customer service is very good. I can reccomend them.

Update on Watermaker issue

Have now been using the watermaker for a week or so and (touch wood) no problems. It’s running very well with no noise or screaching at all.

The machine is making 31.5 litres an hour with a water temperature of 19 degrees C.

Wach this space :-)
