The new water maker is installed and working. Total dissolved solids of 160PPM which is far better than the old unit and much better than I expected. The pressure vessel is much easier to work with for membrane changes and all of the supporting plumbing is now mounted away from the pressure vessel.

System in operation before amp meter shunt was connected.
We tried out our Magma Chefs Mate grill for the first time last night and I am very happy with it.
We had a small water leak in the aft cabin and could not identify where the water was coming from. Till yesterday that is - there is a small shelf area in the stbd lazarette that is part of the overhead at the foot of the bed in the cabin. Water was getting onto the shelf and then running down on the inside wall. I'm going to seal the joint with 5200 and then start looking for the source of the water.
I also serviced the outboard and have the dinghy ready.
Bobby: Are you ready to make a watermaker for Island Spirit? Not sure we need it for our coastal sailing, but I would be interested in your total materials list.
