TEN SELECTION CHECKS
Build a complete water maker project brief
The best selection is based on the vessel’s actual duty and interfaces, not only a nominal litres-per-hour figure.
1. Freshwater Demand
L/h · daily demand · operating hours
Define production required during the available operating window and any peak-use periods.
2. Redundancy
Single train · standby · dual concept
Decide whether continuity of supply or maintenance availability requires redundancy.
3. Electrical Supply
Voltage · phase · frequency · capacity
Confirm generator or battery capacity, running load and starting-load constraints.
4. Seawater Conditions
Temperature · salinity · intake
Operating area and feed-water conditions affect production and system selection.
5. Arrangement
Compact or distributed
Choose an arrangement compatible with the machinery space and installation route.
6. Space and Access
Envelope · route · service clearance
Allow access to filters, pumps, membranes, controls and routine service points.
7. Vessel Interfaces
Intake · product water · reject water
Plan pre-filtration, tank connection, reject-water discharge, flushing and drains.
8. Optional Treatment
UV · remineralisation
Review tank condition and any post-treatment required for the vessel’s intended use.
9. Routine Maintenance
Inspection-led service
Inspect pre-filters and replace them according to condition and feed-water quality.
10. Extended Lay-Up
Current manual required
Plan preservation or winterisation when unused for an extended period, following the current manufacturer manual.
Selection note: Membrane life, filter intervals and production depend on maintenance, feed-water quality, temperature, salinity and operating conditions. These are planning considerations, not fixed warranty promises.
Aqua Prime marine water makers supplied through ERBA Marine
ERBA Marine is listed on Aqua Prime’s official dealers and services page in Dubai. ERBA Marine reviews vessel data, compares the current Aqua Prime range and coordinates the confirmed equipment supply and documentation.
The selected configuration, applicable warranty terms and after-sales route are stated in ERBA Marine’s written quotation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Marine Water Maker Selection, Installation and Maintenance FAQs
Practical answers for preliminary selection and quotation planning.
Start from expected daily freshwater demand, available operating hours, peak use and reserve. ERBA Marine reviews the duty with the vessel profile before confirming a family.
Reverse-osmosis production changes with feed-water conditions, membrane condition and pressure. Nominal output should not be treated as identical in every operating area.
Inspect them visually and replace according to condition, pressure behaviour, feed-water quality and the current manufacturer manual. Dirty water can shorten intervals significantly.
Membrane life depends on water quality, maintenance, operating practice, preservation and storage. It is not a fixed warranty promise on a general guidance page.
Plan lay-up protection when the unit will be unused for an extended period. Follow the current model-specific manufacturer manual rather than a generic website procedure.
