When the water maker fails!!! Sailing Aquarius "Water Maker 101"

Aquarius was at her last stop in French Polynesia, and her Dessalator water maker started making saltwater! Would we head back to Raiatea, or move ahead without a water maker. At that point Ken thought it was time to learn more about the water maker, and thought we would take the rest of you along for the ride.

After settling in at Bay of Island Marina, New Zealand, we met up with Rick from Open Ocean. We had Open Ocean replace the bad membrane, and manufacture a new end cap that had cracked. Rick also gave Ken a little tutorial on the water maker technology.

Also in this vid we meet up with our close friend, artist, photographer, fisherman, surfer, diver, etc., etc., Captain Jeffrey on his Island Packet 460. Rick from Open Ocean was just completing an install of a new water maker aboard Flying Fish, and we wanted to know why Jeffrey waited so long.
