Role in Your Watermaker System
This regulator maintains the precise pressure needed for efficient desalination, working seamlessly with the Pumptec 107SS pump and COMPACT 2.5 X 21 SEAWATER RO MEMBRANE to produce fresh water.
Regulator vs. Needle Valve
In larger watermakers with high-flow pumps, needle valves control flow to prevent membrane overload. However, for small systems using the Pumptec 107SS pump (0.23 GPM at 800 PSI), a pressure regulator is superior, automatically maintaining the set pressure (e.g., 800 PSI) without frequent adjustments, ensuring reliability and ease of use.
Compatibility with Pumptec 107SS and M-S2521A
Optimized for the Pumptec 107SS pump’s low flow and the M-S2521A membrane’s 24-30 GPD output (up to 200 GPD with optimal flow), this regulator ensures stable pressure, enhancing system efficiency.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
- Installation: Connect to the discharge port of the pressure vessel per manufacturer guidelines. The regulator discharges with concentrated water to be sent overboard.
- Adjustment: Set pressure with the knob and lock it in place.
- Maintenance: Inspect for leaks or corrosion; clean seals as needed.
Why Small Boat Owners Love This Regulator
- Compact Design: Fits tight spaces on small boats.
- Energy Efficiency: Optimizes pressure for low-power systems.
- Reliability: Durable stainless steel for marine durability.
- Convenience: Easy to use for DIY watermakers/desalination systems.
