Preventative maintenance ensures water maker membranes and other components are protected during long periods of storage, and ensures your system is ready to go the next time it needs to be used.
It's not uncommon for boats to sit in the pen for 6 months or so with little to no use over winter. For a period like this it’s good practice to clean and preserve the system to prevent contamination which can be caused by long term stagnation of sea water and the breakdown of living organisms within that water which leads to the sulphuric acid rotten egg smell. Some systems make it easier than others to clean, in most circumstances if needed, Desalworks can install a valve system to make cleaning a very short and painless exercise.
During this exercise, we’ll also have a look to see if theres anything that needs repairs or attention. As this preventative maintenance usually happens towards the end of summer, it typically allows plenty of time to plan any repairs prior to the next summer.
Desalworks offers two Preventative Maintenance Services:
- Pre-summer system check
- Pre-winter shutdown
