The Electromaax 10% Enhanced hydraulic Clark Pump intensifier and energy recovery device sets a new industry standard for maximum efficiency in the reverse osmosis watermakers for boat. By using a low-pressure feed pump/s, this Clark Pump can provide the necessary pressure for reverse osmosis to occur while consuming up to 75% less energy than other conventional systems. It recycles the energy and boosts the low-pressure feed water up to 55 Bar (800 PSI). Our 10% Clark Pump is made of modern composites and Titanium. Ensuring long-lasting, reliable performance. Used on systems needing 29 liters (8 GPH) to 75 liters (20 GPH).
The Electromaax Enhanced Clark Pump is a significant evolution of the original Clark Pump, designed with advanced technology to provide superior energy efficiency and durability in marine watermakers. Elaborated by one of the original developers of the Clark Pump, this enhanced version builds on the strengths of the original while addressing some of its limitations, making it one of the most efficient and reliable systems on the market today.
Comparison with the Original Clark Pump
The original Clark Pump was already a groundbreaking invention, utilizing hydraulic intensification to reduce energy consumption while increasing water production. However, the Electromaax Enhanced Clark Pump takes this a step further by incorporating longer cylinders and an upgraded energy recovery system, which significantly improves water output while maintaining minimal power consumption.
One of the main advancements in the enhanced version is its ability to run more quietly and efficiently, due to the integration of hydraulic intensifiers that maximize energy recovery. This ensures that the pump operates with much less strain on the system, allowing it to produce up to 200 gallons per day at a low energy draw of 10 D.C. amps at 24 volts or 20 D.C. amps at 12 volts
In contrast, the original model was not as optimized for alternative energy sources like solar and wind, which have become increasingly popular among modern cruisers.
Additionally, the enhanced model uses titanium components in high-pressure areas, vastly improving the pump’s durability and ability to withstand corrosive seawater conditions. This feature helps the pump handle higher pressures and produce more water with less wear and tear, addressing a key issue with older Clark Pump models that could experience mechanical failures under heavy use
Advantages over Other Models on the Market
Compared to other watermakers that also feature energy recovery systems, the Electromaax Enhanced Clark Pump stands out for several reasons:
- Superior Energy Efficiency: While many watermakers on the market offer energy recovery, the Electromaax system sets a new industry standard by optimizing energy use to such an extent that it can produce high volumes of water using less power. For example, some competing models may use 30-40% more amps for similar output.
- Robust and Reliable Design: Unlike many other systems that require regular maintenance and may use proprietary parts, the Electromaax Enhanced Clark Pump is built with military-grade components, including corrosion-resistant titanium, ensuring it lasts longer and performs better under pressure. This makes it highly reliable in challenging environments, such as long-distance cruising where access to replacement parts is limited.
- Ease of Maintenance: Many competing watermakers require specialized parts that can be difficult and expensive to replace. In contrast, the Electromaax system is designed to be easy to maintain, with no need for proprietary consumables. This makes it more cost-effective and user-friendly for DIY installations
- Quiet Operation: The enhanced Clark Pump is recognized as one of the quietest watermakers on the market, thanks to its longer cylinders and advanced hydraulic system. This quiet operation is a significant improvement over the older models, as well as many competitors, making it more suitable for boaters who value noise reduction while onboard.
In Summary
The Electromaax Enhanced Clark Pump offers a powerful combination of energy efficiency, durability, and ease of use. Developed by one of the original inventors of the Clark Pump, this new version takes the best features of the classic design and enhances them with modern technology and materials, such as titanium components and hydraulic intensification. Compared to other watermakers, it excels in terms of reliability, low energy consumption, and maintenance simplicity, making it a top choice for eco-conscious boaters and those needing high performance in remote or challenging environments
