When owning a small ship, you
expect to have external water problems but not internal. The hull rust
marks in these two pictures illustrate the long period we had
flooding in the electrics room. To add to the issue, it was salt
water coming from the water softener. Ament, in their
plumbing wisdom, believed that each tranche of 20 + liters
softened water, engineered by Kinetico to instantly exit down a
42mm diameter pipe could do the same but down a 12mm hose? |

'A' tried differing
'Elastoplast' type solutions but in the end, the safest was to
have this 27ltr stainless steel tank made to harvest the Kinetico
softening process water, and allow the tanks internal bilge pump
to steadily push it down the 12mm pipe to the outside the ship in
its own time. The salty rust on the electrics room floor is due
for a
repaint and is on the 'roundtoit' list. |
