Spectra Watermachines™

Fresh Water - Plenty of fresh water greatly improves the quality of life on board.

Think of long showers and wash downs. The Spectra system with its low power draw and high capacity will give you lots of water without overtaxing your electrical system. On board energy is limited and expensive so the size of a watermaker is not as important as how much water can be made for a given amount of energy.

NOTE: Actual speed is twelve seconds per cycle.

With a new process developed in 1997 and improved continually since then - The Spectra Clark Pump features a unique two stage pumping and pressurizing system. The first stage is a simple diaphragm or vane feed pump which supplies raw water flow and pressure for pre-filtration, circulation, and the driving energy for the second stage, the Clark Pump.
The Clark Pump is a unique pressure intensifier that uses two opposing cylinders and pistons that share a single rod. Water pressure from the small feed pump is used by one of the cylinders to make the other pressurize and circulate the saltwater through the reverse osmosis membrane. Pressurization is achieved when the rod, as it is forced into a cylinder, displaces water in the closed loop circuit. The pressure instantly rises to the point where the displaced volume of water is forced out of the membrane as the fresh product. When a driving cylinder's piston touches the base, the process is instantly reversed.
Pressurization is almost continuous. There is no energy wasting "back stroke" like in other systems and no need for gears or crank shafts that need oil and servicing. All moving parts are made of non-corrosive materials.

Spectra also introduce a final solution to the problem of water machine storage with the revolutionary Z-Brane™. This technology is designed to change the way water machines are used and maintained forever by eliminating the need for chemicals to clean and store membranes.

The Newport 400-700-1000 MKII has multi speed capability which allows the watermaker to run on high for maximum water production or low mode for maximum power efficiency. This exclusive feature is ideal for onboard power management. You can only get this feature on a Spectra!!
