The Z-braneis a revolutionary product which incorporates the Z-Guard High Voltage Capacitive technology into the membrane pressure vessel. Always active, the Z-Brane creates an environment that is unfriendly to bio-film and bacteria. The Z technoalgy also assits in the prevention of scale formation on the membrane surfaces. The Z-Brane allows the system to be shut down or decommissioned for extended periods of time without chemicals or preservatives. The Z-Brane will not prevent freezing so that in cold climates Propylene Glycol is still required.

The Z-Brane system is integral with the watermaker unit and only requires continuous 12Vor 24V DC power to be operative. The installation of the Z-Brane only consists of wiring the power supply to a continuous source The Z-brane power supply can tolerate voltages between 10V and 28V DC.

Note: There is no reason to open the transformer enclosure. Do not ser- vice this unit without disconnecting the power source! There may be high voltage present.

It is recommended that the Z-Brane be connected to a discreet continuous power source. The power must be on during the time that the system is operation and during the time the Z-Brane is used for membrane storage. If the power is obtained from the MPC then the MPC must be powered up at all times during storage. This may not be desirable.

Fuse the power at the source with a 5 amp fuse or circuit breaker.

Newport 400 specifications

The Spectra Watermakers Newport 400 is a state-of-the-art desalination system designed for yachts and boats seeking reliable and efficient freshwater production. This innovative watermaker is known for its compact design, high performance, and user-friendly features. With the ability to produce up to 400 gallons of freshwater per day, the Newport 400 is ideal for extended cruising, offshore adventures, or as a backup water supply.

One of the standout features of the Newport 400 is its patented Spectra Reverse Osmosis technology. This advanced system harnesses the power of reverse osmosis to remove salt and impurities from seawater, ensuring the production of clean and safe drinking water. The Newport 400 operates with exceptional energy efficiency, requiring significantly less power compared to traditional watermakers. This is particularly beneficial for boats relying on limited energy sources like solar panels or generators.

The Newport 400 is engineered for ease of operation and maintenance with a user-friendly control panel. Operators can easily monitor key parameters such as water output, pressure, and system status. The intuitive interface makes it simple to adjust settings and troubleshoot potential issues. Additionally, the system is constructed from high-quality corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring durability and longevity in harsh marine environments.

An impressive characteristic of the Spectra Newport 400 is its ultra-quiet operation. This watermaker is designed to minimize noise, making it perfect for use in the close quarters of a yacht without disturbing the peace on board. The integration of advanced technologies further enhances its performance, including a sophisticated water pre-filtration system that reduces the risk of membrane fouling.

The Newport 400 is also designed with versatility in mind. It can be easily integrated into various onboard systems, allowing for simple installation and operation. Its compact size means it can fit into tight spaces on smaller vessels without sacrificing performance.

In summary, the Spectra Watermakers Newport 400 is a reliable, efficient, and quiet solution for generating freshwater in a marine environment. Its advanced reverse osmosis technology, ease of use, and robust construction make it an ideal choice for boaters seeking independence from shore-based water sources. Whether for leisurely cruising or serious ocean voyaging, the Newport 400 stands out as a top-tier watermaker for modern maritime adventures.
