The Ventura 150 Deluxe is a very simple watermaker to use and maintain. Day to day use only requires flipping a toggle switch on and off for the feed pump and monitoring the product (clean - drinkable RO water) by using a small handheld meter. Conventional ac powered watermakers require high pressure adjustment, the Clark Pump which is Spectra's energy intensifier pump, requires no adjustment. The Clark Pump is also much quieter than any other conventional watermaker, usually a full 10dB lower.

Specifications
The innovative Spectra Ventura 150 Deluxe combines a compact design and ultra efficiency to become the most widely versatile watermaker installed on sailboats. The Spectra 150 Deluxe uses only 9 amps on 12v to produce plenty of water for most small general applications. With a compact modular design, the Ventura 150 is capable of being installed in the most confined places. more
Maintenance for the Ventura 150 Deluxe is also very easy, as opposed to conventional watermakers where oil changes are needed, the Clark Pump does not use oil therefore no oil changes are needed. The Spectra Ventura 150 Deluxe comes with a charcoal filter and housing with a on/off pvc ball valve that is used to backwash or purge the watermaker of sea water. It is necessary to flush the watermaker using a few gallons of fresh water so seawater does not stagnate, by simply moving the pvc ball valve handle to open we can accomplish this. here
The Spectra Ventura 200T comes with fresh water flushing. Spectra makes it absolutely easy to fresh water flush your watermaker simply by turning the PVC ball valve on the feed pump module to the open position. After a few minutes, simply return the handle to the close position and that is all takes to keep your watermaker from stagnating with seawater.
Although this watermaker is not an automatic, it is one of the most simple to use. Flipping the toggle breaker on the feed pump module starts the watermaker. During normal operation, that is all it takes to make fresh drinking water. A handheld salinity meter is provided as well as a 3 way sampling valve to make sure the water filling your fresh water tanks is clean. If you would like an automated version of the Spectra Ventura 200T, you can find the MPC Version here. more
Spectra Ventura 200T Maintenance
The Ventura 200T is engineered for boaters with limited electrical capabilities and space. The modular design allows for the Ventura 200T to be placed in a variety of locations on board and is extremely quiet during operation. The majority of the components that make up the Spectra watermaker are composite which are highly durable and corrosion resistant.
Daily Operation of the Spectra Ventura 200T Deluxe [links]
The Spectra Ventura 200T Deluxe is dimensionally and functionally the same as the Spectra Ventura 150 Deluxe, but the 200T produces 2 more gallons of fresh water (8.3 gallons per hour) per hour while only using 1 more amp (10 amps on 12 volt or 5 amps on 24 volt DC).
There are many factors to consider when looking for the best watermakers for your sailboat. Here are the most important things to consider. more
Watermakers have a reputation for being difficult to maintain. Fortunately, the equipment and components have improved in the last few years so you should go for a model that's easy to maintain. You should use the watermaker in water bodies that look good, You should avoid using the watermaker in dirty harbors as you may have to change the filters every so often or even damage your watermaker altogether. here
This watermaker is made from high-quality components that can withstand the continuous harsh marine environment, making it one of the most durable watermakers on the market. This is essentially a series of modular watermakers ranging from 12-volt to 24-volt DC-powered models. They bring forth energy efficiency, a computerized energy recovery system, and ultimate reliability to ensure that you never run out of fresh drinking water while out there on the sea. [links]
As far as an engine-driven watermaker is concerned, you should mount the high-pressure pump on the engine so that it can be belt-driven using an automatic clutch. An engine-driven watermaker should be your first option if you want large quantities of fresh drinking water. This is more productive than AC or DC-powered watermakers. Even with a relatively small engine, this setup has an automatic regulator that constantly pumps the water. With that in mind, engine-driven watermakers are ideal if you want to reduce your energy consumption. To put it into perspective, an engine-driven watermaker can lower energy consumption by an enormous 80%, especially when compared with conventional AC or DC-powered watermaker systems. more
