Backflush the bugs
Spectra's watermakers need even less care than previous low maintenance models
Spectra have introduced a new range of power efficient watermaking machines needing even less service time than previous low maintenance models.
Most systems that flush with fresh water only have flow in one direction, trapping material in the filters. The MKII will produce flow in both directions, backward though the filters and forward to flush the Clark Pump and membrane. Backwashing the filters with fresh water helps prevent anaerobic bacteria formation.
This not only eliminates the odors that can develop in conventional freshwater flushing, it also keeps filters cleaner and extends overall filter life.
Spectra's proprietary 'Clark Pump' maintains the proper pressures in the membrane throughout a wide range of ocean temperatures and water conditions without any adjustments or loss of product water output. The composite construction is corrosion resistant and there are no flow control valves, pressure or flow gauges to adjust.
Available in all voltages and using minimal electrical consumption these are the most versatile and quiet watermakers you can buy. Spectra Watermakers have long been a favourite with blue water cruisers due to their rugged reliability, class winning power efficiency, ease of installation and worldwide service network of factory trained technicians.
UK and Ireland Spectra agent Furneaux Riddall & Co of Portsmouth, who celebrate five years of Spectra agency with record sales this year, is looking to increase the current UK network of dealers and service points and would welcome enquiries from potential dealers.
