Dessalator Watermaker

We have a 2017 450S with a Dessalator watermaker. We need to get the membranes replaced but can’t find what model the watermaker is. We purchased boat from an individual in Spain so most of our paperwork is in another language. Any suggestions on how we find out which watermaker we have so we can get correct parts?

To service my D60 I have spoken to the people at www.dessalator.fr who were/are extremely helpful and recently I contacted advanceyacht.co.uk, also for parts for/advice on my D60. I think they will be able to help you very well.

I think they are the same for all units, https://www.advanceyacht.co.uk/dessa...-shop/membrane. "For Dessalator Cruise, Freedom & DUO watermakers"

Re: Dessalator Watermaker

All the major RO makers use filmtec membranes. The only thing you need to know is the diameter and length, and there are not a lot of choices. Even from outside the housing you'll know which one is right.

Then just chose a Filmtec desalination membrane that fits. WAY, WAY, WAY, cheaper than buying from the supplier of the ro system.

Note: There are lots of types of RO Membranes, you need the ones made for seawater desalination. They are clearly labeled as such.

Dessalator Duo 100
Somebody with updated info regarding price where to buy, etc.
Got price for new in Norway €1100. Robbery, as they seem to be replaced often, unless u use the very regularly.

Re: Dessalator Watermaker

No i googled a lot found in china, dont trust them for so big deal.

Filmtec Seawater Membrane SW30-2521 as Bean says is probably very correct, posting to Norway from Donald Trump is skyhigh, maybe better later
