Frequently asked questions
The best watermaker for a sailing yacht depends on your vessel size, crew numbers, and how far offshore you sail. Yacht-Mate Products stocks Tecnicomar and Blue Water watermakers — two of the most trusted brands in the marine industry — and has over 20 years of experience helping yacht owners choose the right system. Call +1-954-527-0112 or contact the team online for expert sizing advice before you buy.
If you are filling your tanks from marina dock water, a water softener is strongly recommended. Hard water causes scale build-up in pipes, watermakers, and appliances, shortening their lifespan and affecting water quality onboard. Yacht-Mate Products supplies the Dock-Mate range of marine water softeners with optional FillFast metal-removing pre-filters, with models starting from $895. Available online at yachtmate.com.
Marine waste discharge is regulated by international maritime law, including MARPOL Annex IV, which governs the discharge of sewage from vessels. The rules vary depending on where you are sailing and the size of your vessel. Yacht-Mate Products supplies compliant marine waste treatment systems for all vessel types — contact the team for advice on which system meets the regulations for your sailing area.
The key factors when choosing a watermaker are your daily fresh water demand, your vessel's available power supply, how much space you have for installation, and your sailing range. A coastal weekend sailor has very different needs to a bluewater cruiser or superyacht. Yacht-Mate Products has over 20 years of specialist experience helping boat owners find the right solution — call +1-954-527-0112 for free expert advice before purchasing.
A full yacht water treatment setup typically includes a watermaker, water softener, filtration system, UV sterilisation, and a compliant waste treatment system. For a new build or major refit, Yacht-Mate Products can advise on specifying the complete water management solution for your vessel.
Watermaker filter replacement intervals depend on how frequently you use your system and the quality of the source water. Signs that filters need changing include reduced output, unusual taste or odour, and higher operating pressure. Yacht-Mate Products stocks a full range of replacement watermaker filters and housings — contact the team for advice on the right service schedule for your system.
