The Newport System can be mounted in a number of different configurations to meet the needs of almost any vessel while the feed water pump module may be mounted on a bulkhead or on a shelf either vertically or horizontally. The Spectra High-Pressure Intensifier and membrane module are integrated into a single compact assembly for ease of installation.

Using the Spectra High-Pressure Intensifier technology, Spectra Watermakers has developed a module that is ultra quiet and produces 400 gallons, 700 gallons, or 1000 gallons of water per day using a 1/3, 1/2, or 3/4 horsepower motor respectively. Other watermaker systems require 3 to 5 horsepower and two feed water pumps to produce the same amount of water.

New Spectra Technology
Along with its superior efficiency the Spectra High-Pressure Intensifier maintains the proper pressures in the membrane throughout a wide range of ocean temperatures and water conditions without any adjustments or loss of product water output. The composite construction is corrosion resistant for superior reliability. No more trips to the engine room to adjust the watermaker. In fact, there are no flow control valves, pressure or flow gauges to adjust. With the MPC-3000 Electronic Controller, just set the desired run time and forget it. The MPC-3000 controller will do the rest. MPC-3000 Controller Simple one button operation. All Newport functions are displayed in a 5.25" x 3.75" control display panel located in a convenient space of your choosing away from the watermaker. Multiple control display panels can be added for even more monitoring convenience. The electrical control box has a built-in manual override so the watermaker also works without the MPC-3000 electronic control.

Just set it and forget it!
MPC-3000 displays the pre-filter condition, feed water pressure, water tank full status (with optional tank switch), product water quality, flow rate and total system hours. One touch to the MPC-3000 touch pad sets the Newport in motion. Reject water is automatically diverted back to the ocean by the MPC-3000 controller, the desired amount of water fills the storage tanks, the system flushes itself clean and shuts itself off. You can set the controller to keep your Newport in a fresh water storage state for as long as you like.

Leaving the vessel for a while?
Just press the Auto-Store button and the MPC-3000 controller will do an automatic flush every 5 days. No more worries about messy storage chemicals. And when you return to your vessel your system is ready to start up and go.

Z-Brane™ keeps your system clean without chemicals. Top off your Spectra System with the new Z-Brane™. This revolutionary technology keeps your Newport clean and free of bio-fouling and scaling. Cleaning with chemicals substantially shortens the usable life of reverse osmosis membranes. The Z-Brane™ eliminates the need for harsh chemicals.
