Marine Watermaker

Servicing and Repairs

We Provide Servicing, Maintenance and Repairs at All Perth Yacht Clubs

As an owner of any watermaker, it is important that you regularly service your machine throughout the year in and out of season. Regular servicing not only keeps your water maker running smoothly but also prevents unexpected breakdowns that could disrupt your plans. For boats used moderately over the summer, we recommend servicing your system every 12 months to maintain optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your equipment.

In addition to routine maintenance, there are key times when servicing is especially important:

  1. After prolonged heavy use
  2.  If the system is slow to build pressure or fill your tanks
  3. Before setting off on an extended voyage
  4. When buying or selling a boat.

Regular maintenance ensures your desalination unit operates efficiently, protects your investment, and gives you peace of mind knowing you’ll always have fresh water when you need it most.

During a service, we generally inspect the following components:

  • High-Pressure Pumps
  • Feed Pumps
  • Pressure Regulator Assembly
  • End Plugs, Lines and Fittings
  • Water Quality and Flow Rate
  • Filter Assemblies

And we perform the following processes:

  • Run control box diagnostics
  • Flush system with citric acid (removes scaling in membranes) and sodium metabisulphite (dissolves organic matter in the system)
  • Oil change and oil quality test
  • Unit clean and rust mitigation

    Safeguard Your System with Pre-Winter Care

    Why Preventative Maintenance Matters

    When your watermaker is left unused, contaminants trapped inside the pressure vessels can lead to organic growth, posing a risk to the membranes and other system components. This growth can start in as little as a week, depending on factors like water quality, usage, and temperature, potentially causing long-term damage if not properly addressed.

    Protect Your System with Proper Cleaning

    We use specialised cleaning and sanitising techniques to remove biological growth and prevent new buildup, often called “pickling”. This keeps your system fresh during periods of non-use and prevents mineral scaling, which can damage key components over time. Regular cleaning helps extend the lifespan of your system and ensures it’s ready to perform whenever you need it.

    Comprehensive Inspections Included

    During our maintenance service, we don’t just clean your system — we thoroughly inspect it for any signs of wear or potential issues. Identifying problems early gives you plenty of time to address repairs before the next season, so you can get back on the water with confidence.

    Get Ready for Every Season

    Schedule your preventative maintenance today and enjoy peace of mind knowing your watermaker will be ready when you are. Whether you’re preparing for winter downtime or gearing up for summer adventures, we’ve got you covered.
