Unique safety system ensures HP watermakers are always bacteria-free and ready to use

HP (High Pressure) Watermakers’ unique Automatic Membrane Conservation System (AMSC) ensures the watermaker’s vital membranes are always bacteria-free and in peak condition, even after not being used for long periods of time.

When a watermaker is inactive for several weeks or even months at a time, harmful bacterial growth can appear on the membranes, requiring prolonged fresh water flushing or even the removal of the membranes for cleaning.

HP has solved this by combining its clever AMSC and automatic flushing system with RP Tronic products to automatically dose the membranes with sodium metabisulphite during each flushing cycle. This means just a single flush will ensure the system is completely bacteria-free and ready to go, even if the vessel has not been used for quite a while.

“Each time the watermaker is switched off, HP’s flushing cycle and AMCS are automatically activated, injecting a small dose of sodium metabisulphite into the flushing water,” says Grant Matthew from HP’s New Zealand distributor, Lusty & Blundell. “This preserves and protects the membranes which can now be safely left in this state for up to 3 or 4 months.”

HP’s AMCS can be fitted to any HP Watermaker fitted with their auto flush system.

Available in both DC and 230V AC with models ranging from 35lph to 3000lph, HP Watermakers are manufactured in Italy and are renowned for offering long term, unlimited supply of pure fresh water with virtually no maintenance. They are also easily fitted with HP’s impressive RP Tronic self-regulating pressure system which ensures top-quality, fresh water supply, regardless of temperature or salinity changes in the surrounding waters.

HP Watermakers, the Automatic Membrane Conservation System and the RP Tronic self-regulating pressure system are all now available through Lusty and Blundell’s Albany, Whangarei and Tauranga showrooms and from their nationwide network of leading marine dealers.
