Are marine desalination units noisy?
• Some brands of watermakers are noisier than others, which is usually a result of inferior design efficiency and low-quality of components. Like any other piece of machinery, marine watermakers do make a sound when they operate. Some manufacturers don’t do anything to address this issue, and other manufacturers do things to “mask” the sounds, such as creating chambers or other mechanisms ostensibly designed to dampen noise resonating from system components. FCI Watermakers has gone to extensive lengths to design and manufacture marine watermakers that are the quietest in the industry. We use only the highest quality motors, pumps and other components in our watermakers. Our systems are built on four-point vibration isolation mounts, which dissipate system vibrations and keep them from resonating through the vessel. All other components of FCI watermakers have been designed and selected to maximize noise control. The end result of this is that FCI watermakers are extremely quiet as com
