What it is
The Performance Single is the premium one-membrane system in the Water Makers Australia range. Its modules can be distributed around a tight lazarette or engine room while the remote panel remains accessible inside the boat.
Published performance
The current product page states 80 L/h nominal output at 35,000 ppm seawater, 25°C and 800 psi with the 12 L/min pump, or 70 L/h with the 8 L/min option. It uses one DuPont FilmTec SW30-2540 membrane.
Pump and feed options
The published high-pressure choices are 240 V AC, 50 Hz triplex pumps with either a 1.5 kW motor rating (12 L/min) or a 1.1 kW motor rating (8 L/min). Feed-pump choices include a 12 V DC 110 W pump or a 240 V AC Davey XF171S.
Motor ratings are nameplate figures, not measured whole-system running draw. Confirm startup demand, inverter or generator headroom and the exact feed-pump choice before ordering.
Included equipment
The package lists the membrane and pressure housing, high-pressure pump, anti-vibration mounts, 20 and 5 micron pre-filters, freshwater-flush timer and carbon filter, hoses, fittings, installation manual and direct support.
Best fit
A strong candidate for couples and coastal cruisers who value accessible modules and direct support, provided the boat can comfortably supply the AC pump.
Compatibility
Best suited to boats with space for distributed modules and a 240 V AC supply sized for the selected high-pressure pump.
