I'm going to have a water maker on my upcoming charter but I know almost nothing about them. Can you make water while underway or do you have to make sure the intake is always submerged (or is it low enough that that's not an issue)?
Re - making sure you have primary spare filters; Are we really going to be making filter changes? Are you going to be able to get the charter company to give you spares - are you buying your own somewhere?
I watch a couple of sailing vlogs and I don't get the kind of water maker angst from them that I get from the charter company and I really don't understand the "no service" issue. I mean, the A/C isn't necessary either but they'll come out and fix that. Why is the WM any different - unless it breaks so often that they can't support it.
Really confused on this particular piece of equipment.
