Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Increased noise or vibration from worn seals or bearings in the rotating group
  • Reduced product water flow from internal piston/seal wear lowering pressure-recovery efficiency
  • Upstream membrane fouling often misdiagnosed as a Clark Pump fault
  • Weeping or leakage at the pump housing, typically from worn shaft seals
  • Feed/boost pump cavitation or air ingestion affecting smooth Clark Pump operation
  • Salt/mineral scaling inside the pump from inadequate fresh-water flushing after use

Inspection checklist

  • Check for unusual noise or vibration during operation
  • Check product water flow rate and salinity against baseline commissioning figures
  • Inspect for external leakage at pump housing and fittings
  • Check feed strainer/pre-filters are not restricting flow to the boost pump
  • Confirm fresh-water flush was carried out after each use and before layup
  • Check high-pressure tubing and fittings for chafe or corrosion

Service intervals

Fresh-water flush after useevery use, per maker operating procedure
Pickling/preservation before layupbefore any period of disuse beyond the maker's stated limit, typically a few weeks
Clark Pump seal/rebuild kit servicecommonly in the order of 1,000-2,000 hours or a few seasons of typical use - confirm against current Spectra/Katadyn service literature
Pre-filter element renewalper differential pressure/fouling trend, commonly every 1-3 months in service

Typical wear limits

Product flow drop from commissioning baselinea drop beyond roughly 10-15% from the baseline commissioning flow at similar feed conditions is commonly used as a trigger for internal inspection - treat as a general guide, not a maker limit

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Clark Pump seal/rebuild kit
  • Pre-filter (sediment/carbon) cartridges
  • Feed/boost pump seal kit
  • High-pressure O-ring/gasket set

Safety

  • The system operates at high feed pressure - depressurise before opening any fitting
  • Pickling/cleaning chemicals require handling and ventilation per the product's safety data sheet
  • Electrically isolate before servicing the pump or motor

Class survey

Note: the Clark Pump is the energy-recovery high-pressure pump element within a complete Spectra reverse-osmosis watermaker system, not a standalone freshwater generator - the notes above concern this pump specifically. Class treatment of freshwater generation equipment is normally limited to potable water system hygiene/certification unless the vessel's class notation specifically covers the fresh water system.

Estimated lifetime: Rebuild kits are commonly specified on a multi-year or roughly 1,000-2,000 hour cycle depending on usage and water quality; the pressure vessel/rotating group itself commonly outlasts several rebuild cycles with proper maintenance - treat any figure as a planning guide only.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we can check availability and prices faster; without them we may have to ask first, which can cost a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
