Fresh water pressure systems are essential for ensuring constant and stable pressure in a boat's plumbing system, especially for drinking water. These systems are particularly useful for supplying faucets, showers, sinks, and other onboard appliances where adequate pressure, similar to that of a household, must be maintained.
Types of Autoclaves for Clear Water
-
Membrane Autoclaves
-
The most common type on boats. They use a rubber membrane that separates the water from the air pressure.
-
They offer optimal pressure management, avoiding peaks and fluctuations.
-
Autoclaves with Pressure Switch
-
Silent Autoclaves
Features to Consider
✔ Working Pressure – Choose a model that supports the pressure required for your system. Typically, a pressure of 2-3 bar is sufficient for most boats.
✔ Flow Rate – Measured in litres per minute (L/min), depends on your water needs on board.
✔ Power – Most marine water pumps are powered by 12V or 24V , so make sure it is compatible with your electrical system.
✔ Overload Protection – Some models include protection devices against overheating or dry running.
✔ Quiet – If you want to minimize noise, opt for models with silent technology.
