Hallelujah

     Let's face it, if you have something that is broken and you swap out enough parts, you may sooner or later fix it.  To date, we have replaced the high pressure switch, acid washed the membrane, replaced the membrane, replaced the pump head, and today we replaced the heart and soul of the watermaker - the Clark Pump.  All I know about the Clark pump is that it is a intensifier.  In this case, the Clark Pump will take water under pressure at 60 PSI and greatly boost or intensify the pressure of the water.  Then, the water, when passed over the membrane at high pressure forces about 10% of the salt water through the membrane leaving behind such things as salt and other nasty stuff you don't want in your fresh water.  Under ideal conditions, that is what should happen, but in our watermaker that had not been the case.  So today, when the watermaker dealer came onboard Big Run and listened to our watermaker, without hesitation, he said it's the Clark Pump.  So, 6 weeks later and a half hour to swap out the Clark Pump we are back in the business of making fresh water. Oh yea, it was still under warranty -  Hallelujah
