The BHL Series has been especially designed for small Hotels,
Marinas and Waterfront Homes with access to salt or brackish water.
The high power efficiency, ultimate reliability and low maintenance cost of these desalination systems makes high quality fresh water in most cases more economical than municipal water where available.
The newly engineered marine aluminum frame provides a tidy appearance while allowing easy access to the systems components for maintenance. The modular bulkhead mount systems or the self-contained vertical framed systems are space saving and easy to install.
For freshwater capacities of 3600 GPD/13,600 Liters or 10,000 GPD/38,000 Liters/day, the installation of two redundant operative BHL desalination units (dual) is the preferred choice.
More economical than a single large system, it provides back up, eases transport, installation and reduces the electrical start up load by 35%. In times of low water demand only one module is operated.

Reverse Osmosis performance varies with the feed water temperature and salinity. The rated performance is tested at 26°C / 80°F water
temperature and a salinity of 33000 ppm TDS.

If a seawater well/spear/bore or open seawater intake at a lower water level is used the installation of a submersible feed pump is recommended. A sand filter (multi media filter) installed before the cartridge pre-filters can reduce filtration cost.

Product water from any RO watermaker is extremely pure, has little salt content, is very soft and acidic due to the removal of alkaline mineral constituents of the seawater. Therefore, similar to rainwater, using RO product requires significantly more freshwater to rinse off soap, shampoo and other detergents.
ECHOTec is the first watermaker manufacturer to combat this problem by improving the RO product quality with a standard supplied post treatment system. The newly developed mineral dispenser returns some hardness to the water and offers a practical, low maintenance solution that saves up to 50% fresh water.
The ECHOTec post treatment element also contains a mixture of minerals that returns bicarbonate alkalinity, correcting pH only enough to reach a neutral equilibrium. This dramatically reduces corrosion on metal tanks, boilers, washing machines and plumbing due to acidic product water.
As the water is slightly re-mineralized, this will also improve the taste of the product water.

No proprietary equipment - Consumables may be obtained anywhere

Scope of Components
Aluminum wall mount frame with shock mounted Duplex stainless steel high pressure pump and electrical and flow control panels.
1 Pressure vessel rack with 1-4 thin film composite RO membranes
1 Pre-filtration rack with standard size BB cartridges, 4 1/2” x 10”, 5 and 20 microns
Fresh water flush system (Exchanges the sea water in the RO membrane elements with freshwater and therefore avoids biological growth that may clog the elements, leading to reduced output and premature failure)
Product water in-line buffer element (Contains a mixture of minerals that correct product pH only enough to reach a neutral equilibrium in order to protect metal fresh water tanks and fittings. As the water is slightly re-mineralized, this will also improve the taste and makes soap rinse off easily)
