Installing SeaWater Pro Water Maker, Boat Explosion During Install | Ep 49 #svaguaazul #boat #diy

0:00
okay guys so we have the Sea Pro there's
0:03
the tubes right
0:05
there both of them and then I've been
0:08
digging through the
0:09
box and uh yeah I think I know where I'm
0:12
going to place the pump my wife said why
0:15
don't you stick it here and after stick
0:17
it in so many locations I put it
0:20
underneath the couch here so it's going
0:22
to it's going to have uh plenty of
0:24
ventilation down there and uh yeah it
0:29
will uh
0:31
hopefully not burn out the pump because
0:33
that pump's
0:34
expensive but uh yeah let's uh figure
0:37
out how I'm going to install the rest of
0:39
this stuff I'm going to just piece it
0:40
together uh I'll leave a link down to
0:42
the install video from c pro because of
0:46
course they build it they probably
0:48
explain it better but I'll go through
0:51
the trials and tribulations of me and
0:53
inst stowing this thing and uh you can
0:56
see if you want to get it or not and I
1:00
can say that a friend of ours has got
1:02
this and he's pumping some good water
1:05
now took him about 3 or 4 days it's uh
1:08
fresh to Salty but yeah he got this
1:11
thing installed so I can't wait to see
1:13
his video when it comes out to
1:15
see how much uh struggles or non
1:18
struggles he had so Min is the uh high
1:22
pressure pump and uh the membranes this
1:26
is all the other stuff so over here we
1:30
have our low pressure boost pump this is
1:34
for uh the automatic flush we got the
1:38
small control panel which oh no maybe I
1:41
should have got the big one this
1:43
actually Powers our boost pump this is
1:47
to the exit uh for
1:53
the uh flush this is all our low
1:58
pressure this is the the high
2:02
pressure these are uh the filters and
2:05
the
2:06
carbon the
2:08
hoses we got uh the wire uh quality
2:13
Monitor and a uh this is so you can
2:17
pickle the membranes and then it comes
2:20
with a a carbon filter a 20 Micron and a
2:23
five micron filter I have a whole bunch
2:26
of five microns I don't have any but
2:28
that one 20 micron
2:30
so the first thing I'm going to put
2:31
together is uh my uh low and uh high
2:36
pressure side uh let me show you where
2:38
I'm going to mount this stuff first so
2:40
I'm going to mount this and this is
2:42
right above my kill in the build and
2:46
these walls are plenty big enough for my
2:50
membranes and my uh pre
2:53
filters and the instructions which I've
2:56
been reading
2:57
thoroughly are really good for this I
3:00
did see a few errors in like battery
3:02
sizes for like the uh water monitor or
3:06
the water tester but other than that or
3:10
actually the uh timer the pre-wash timer
3:13
it says use double A and then it says
3:15
AAA and it uses AAA but uh yeah I'm
3:18
going to go through these and uh
3:20
hopefully get this installed I'm not
3:21
going to do a step by step I said the c
3:24
pro they did a good job of uh showing
3:27
this installation I'm just going to show
3:29
you my h ups and my problems as I
3:31
install it so I just finished the low
3:33
pressure uh side of this the filter
3:36
system I'm going to show you what it
3:37
looks like okay so down here in the
3:39
village I know it takes up a lot of room
3:42
but I have to put these
3:43
pointing
3:45
down
3:47
so I have to really get down low to see
3:50
the pressure there or I just use my
3:52
camera but uh yeah so these are all in I
3:56
put the filters in your charcoal
4:00
things flow from this way to this way
4:03
you can blow through these if you want
4:04
to check which way they're flowing same
4:06
down there uh this
4:09
flows up and that way and then this is
4:13
from this hooks up to your freshwat side
4:16
and it just flows up and back through so
4:21
hopefully this uh does
4:24
good okay so I now have these put
4:27
together on here I took
4:30
90s and from
4:34
the uh gauge system and put back
4:37
here I've uh made our gauge system a
4:40
little more
4:41
compact this is going to be our um low
4:45
pressure this is our fresh water coming
4:49
out and this is our waste water coming
4:52
out of the
4:54
system and this is going to be our high
4:57
pressure in and this one stays
5:01
closed and we're ready to stick it down
5:03
the
5:04
[Applause]
5:07
hole okay that that sucker's in
5:10
there and yeah it's
5:13
tight but think I have enough room to
5:17
put my high pressure pump on my line
5:20
right
5:21
here if not I have to get a 90 and
5:24
that'll be a pain in the butt put on
5:27
these gauges are out of the way
5:30
it's going to make it hard to put the
5:31
high pressure pump on and hard line and
5:35
then down there is the low
5:39
pressure uh coming out to the
5:42
tanks and back
5:46
there is our low pressure coming out of
5:49
the filters to our
5:52
pump and I'm going to have to
5:55
mount the uh gallons per
6:00
uh hour gauge I'm probably going to
6:03
around this wall over here
6:04
somewhere and uh so I can read
6:08
it and yeah maybe back over here so I
6:12
don't have to run this far with
6:14
lines but and now I have to squeeze all
6:17
my lines through that hole right
6:23
there okay I got everything installed
6:26
down here except for our rinse line and
6:29
uh boy it's going to be a challenge if I
6:31
have to change that build
6:33
pump but yeah it's all fitting in here
6:36
and uh in here I've got everything all
6:40
the plumbing ran in here minus the
6:44
uh the rinse line which that's getting
6:49
quite cramped up in
6:50
there and then uh I've got my pump
6:54
mounted onto a uh board and I'm going
6:59
screw down in
7:01
here so if I ever have to replace
7:05
some coolant lines on this
7:08
thing I guess I'll just route away from
7:11
them I don't
7:13
know okay
7:15
guys we got dinner going
7:20
tonight well
7:22
it's just making up something right now
7:24
mhm making up something yummy it's kind
7:28
of a casserole
7:30
got to be careful cuz I don't have a
7:32
casserole
7:33
[Music]
7:36
pan and then we got to put on um we go
7:41

7:47
cornbread yeah this is some yumminess
7:50

7:52
here yeah it's just we kind of wanted to
7:55
do something different tonight kind of
7:57
making a um just a c casserole
8:00
thingy with a cornmeal topping on it
8:04
without spilling we're going to see how
8:06
how it looks when she puts it in here
8:09
she goes no you don't spill
8:19
it I need a proper
8:24
pan yeah it's
8:26
in but you know what I'm going to do
8:29
put that pan underneath
8:32
it just in case anything spills over I
8:36
don't have a big mess in
8:38
there now she's sliding the big pan in
8:40
there look at that well if it does
8:43

12:57
white and I cleaned underneath the back
13:00
dog's not happy I'm leaving now I got to
13:02
go get some
13:04
fuel and all out so we're at the we're
13:08
at the fuel dock and this is where the
13:11
uh fire happened two people inside of a
13:13
boat lost their lives track tragically
13:16
it was all because they didn't have
13:17
their fan on on their uh or their blower
13:19
fan for their engine bay and uh just one
13:22
spark gasoline blew and uh it was I said
13:27
tragic but we got our last of our
13:31
fuel and man it is rough here my little
13:36
Z is getting beat
13:39
up the this guy squeeze in between that
13:44
and
13:45
that great
13:47
stuff uh but it's a mad house lot of
13:50
wakes if you're come out on your dingy
13:52
you're going to be really rocked so but
13:57
we made it we got we got our fuel
13:59
and uh we just got to get food and we're
14:02
ready to go to Bahamas yeah okay so we
14:05
have our boost pump installed right
14:08
there and I PL I wire this 12v it's com
14:13
off the seock right there excuse all the
14:18
dirt and then I
14:21
have 12vt to ran from the accessory so
14:24
now I'm going to see if it works or it
14:25
blows
14:27
up so boost
14:32
pump there it
14:37
goes
14:39
and it's filling
14:43
up
14:46
okay I'm getting about 8 lb of pressure
14:49
right now it's still filling up
14:55
[Music]
15:09
let's see if our pressure goes
15:14
up now I have to dive and clean that
15:20
seock oh there's a leak right
15:26
there okay we're still leing
15:31
yeah we're still
15:32
leaking tighten that up some
15:36
more okay I got that tightened up it's
15:39
not leaking
15:40
anymore our pressure is
15:43
about
15:45
10 right
15:48
now see any other
15:51
drips coming off the
15:54
system
15:56
see okay so I've worked this into our
15:59
spare back
16:01
here and right now it's
16:04
on and where is my test thingy here it
16:07
is right
16:09
here and if we go down here turn this on
16:13
we now have
16:16
power so now I'm going to crank on my
16:18
Boost pump
16:20
again
16:21
[Music]
16:23
and leave it on for a
16:26
while I have the pressure down on this
16:28
now down to
16:30
zero okay so we have the low pressure
16:32
pump side on with the low pressure which
16:36
I'm going to change this it should pump
16:39
out and uh right now we're pumping into
16:42
the shower sump but eventually I'm going
16:44
to change it to that seock over there I
16:46
just have to get the
16:48
fittings
16:49
but and then uh once you have that
16:52
done let's turn on the pressure
16:55
[Applause]
16:57
pump so while the system is running you
17:00
see our pressure gaug is right there and
17:03
I incrementally turn up the pressure
17:06
we'll turn on our TDS here
17:19
too okay we are now making water we are
17:24
at 200 parts per million I'm hoping this
17:28
goes
17:29
down but there's our waterf flow I just
17:33
got to go in the builds right
17:37
now okay guys I'm going to take a little
17:39
bit of this water and put it in the cup
17:41
see what it tastes
17:49
like okay guys so we're going to try
17:51
this water I poured it in the cup and uh
17:53
hopefully I don't croak you want to go
17:55
first yeah
18:02
M that's there
18:09
no sniffing
18:13
[Music]
18:22
it I don't know what regular
18:24
non-chlorinated water tastes like but
18:26
it's not chlorinated nor Florine
18:30
[Music]
18:32
so it's good not sure if I'm ready to
18:34
start drinking it yet though we made our
18:36
first uh this is our water recipe sew
18:40
Pro okay so we have it plugged into our
18:43
starboard
18:45
tank this is our rinse line coming out
18:48
of our cold bar on our
18:50
sink and we're still
18:52
running
18:55
so we're doing good it's been about
19:00
uh week or two maybe two weeks since we
19:04
uh got the wire maker installed working
19:06
out great now I basically do this since
19:09
we're so close to the channel entry I do
19:12
this on a uh incoming tide so I don't
19:15
gum up the filters so much the pre-
19:17
filters but been making a great walk and
19:21
if you see here I'm doing this
19:22
completely on solar and uh we got about
19:27
70 amps going up
19:30
out and about 43 coming in from our
19:33
solar pounds so we're using a little bit
19:36
more power than we're making but I'm
19:39
only going to run this for about 30
19:41
minutes or so probably no an hour we
19:44
need about 30 gallons and we'll be
19:47
done okay guys so we've been Runing this
19:50
uh water maker on our battery what the
19:52
hell happened here oh on our
19:55
battery for about uh an hour
19:59
and our tank is pretty much full let me
20:03
show you what we got here so we used
20:07
about 8% of our
20:11
battery and there is our tank I'm going
20:14
to shut it off here cuz I don't want to
20:15
run over but that's uh that's pretty
20:18
awesome
20:20
so I am loving this SE wire seawire Pro
