Why didn’t you just empty the tank and clean it and refill with new water from the water maker ?

Whinging Rose much. Come on

Maby consider loading tank with ice cubes on ruff day with plenty of boat movement ...cycle that crap out....

Question. do you think you would ever go back to a mono hull after experiencing the comfort of a Catamaran?.

No thanks, I’ll stay on my couch in the A/C watching DIY at sea.😎👍🏻

Piece of s new boats….you rich people are suckers….

Really enjoyed watching!

Always Very disconcerting, arriving back to find the boat missing. Height of anchor roller above seabed is what counts for the scope Calc. If a chop builds up that roller is also starting to pitch up higher (so the scope ratio is affected by the incresed height) and each wave simultaneously gives a good yank on the rode.

Grows i wonder y ur boats had a lot of issues when it havent reached a year since youve got that one, the last one was freezer i don't know if im right while curiousity were enjoying there new both too, but as Nikki says when ur having a new one it doesn't meant everything is gonna be fine, there is and there always will arise as problems big r small, but u had already multiple times🤔🥴 maybe Terysa had lost some weight were just because of that, but yet she's still pretty though❤, perhaps u should check ur gas filter too..

Thanks so much for this video folks. We had a weird one. Some sort of water treatment left a yellow sediment in our tanks. A brand new toilet brush managed to stir it up. I pumped the water out and gave it a blast out. We use only filtered water for drinking but because I saw this video I tried to remember when I changed the filter. Thinking, thinking....never. Off to Bunnings on Monday! I must make one of those water polishing filters up. Brisbane water already has built in "character".

😊😊😊

Wow aside from people being negative this series/chapter is something i never knew i needed. Also aside from the fact i didnt even know about them and im 48. Love you two. Very entertaining and keeps me engaged.

Hello and Thanks for posting Theresa, Yum as always. And hello to Nick. Cheers, SV Good Karma as Grins in the summer humid heat of Sint Maarten area.

Did anybody get an accurate count?

Micro plastics are only a problem when you think they are a problem. Personally, I think they are quite tasty and give the water a bit more mouthfeel. We should bottle it and sell as “premium enhanced” water.

I am just surprised that boat builder does not do two basic things that are very important , they do not wash the hull or install a water tank polishing system by default.

Wow thats a hell of alot of work. You guys are amazing

Where are you two from originaly, only been following a few months. Keep it real as you seem to do and dont change.

Great to see you enjoying your new Seawind Nick!

ARE YOU SURE THAT THE MICRO PLASTICS ARE NOT COMING FROM THE SEA WATER YOU ARE DRAWING INTO THE TANKS?

I told you before!!! You should have bought a Privilege!!!!

You need to use pleated filters. Those wound filters have to be thrown away once used. You can wash out the pleated filters and reuse them. Also worth noting that most carbon filters also have a 5 micron filter on them as well. Now go and chuck a cup of bleach in the freshwater tank to stop the algae! (The carbon filter removes it so you can't taste it.)

The fitting you need for the housing is those fittings you throw away when you have those hoselock tap fittings... the bush converts 3/4 to 1/2 inch.

Love the rant Sam , beautifully put , Brad Delbridge ex GTV 9 Cameraman , I was one in the yellow WA Toyota hilux 1994 I think

Pulau Tioman has certainly changed since I was there in 1970.

Love seeing multi millionaires just chilling with their Bunnings Hardware straw hat.

Why are the no drain plugs fitted on the fresh water tank? got them fitted on Motorhomes to able to flush and clean them out.

I can't remember if your boat has a rain water recovery system but if you do that might have been the ingress point. I would hope that it would have a recover/bypass valve. Run the polishing system while under way so the wave action helps stir up the debris. Put some of the freshly filtered algae in clean water and see if it grows. No growth and the algae is dead and the system cleaner worked. Best of Luck.

I almost feel like you; need to shock the tank like a pool with that much algae.

Sounds like you need to pipe in whole house filter on your tank outlet. I think that’s what you are using I would probably run another on a hose before the other devices to make sure it’s out of the lines. You should have on the input too. Double whole house filters on input work amazing.

Watching this after Covid 19 just really feels like it was a different time. Like it was another world. You couldn't even see anyone doing that these days with the sticks. So sad to see

Progressis being made with the water system.

Nothing says bonding like mud baths, showers in public, and washing each others asses

Bleach

Apple one of the most valuable companies in world has the vast majority of it's phones made in China, it's not the local peoples responsibility for the quality and Australian people who own Seawind are the one's responsible for the Quality of this boat.

Why don't you use the dinghy pump and pump directly from the tank. Pump as much as you can. Add a few inches of water and pump that out. Repeat until clean. Then deal with the lines thru-out the boat.

I know this is 5 years ago but I'm starting from the beginning. So excited you are staying there for the winter. Cant wait to watch these vlogs

You’re not sailing her to Europe? Why not?

If there are microplastics in your water, can you imagine what's in the fish!! I have seen first hand the amount if microplastics that a researcher found in a fish stomach!!

baffled is what we would all be, had we seen Nick´s schlong! ahahahahahahh baffles otoh his what keeps it inside the sarong

How much did you pay for the boat? All in with sponsors and under the table.

There is a product used for sanitising brewing equipment called sodium per carbonate , they claim no rinse necessary, could be good to flush the system.

Huh why shipped your boat to Europe. Cant you just cross the ocean to Europe.

It's disgusting how many problems you have had on that brand new boat! They need to be sued. Replace your whole boat. Makes me angry for you!!!

You have been troopers. Truly. Not having water is huge.

Someday you might want to disinfect your system too. 4mg/L of Chlorine is used in the US for city water systems. You can use higher concentrations to sanitize the system if you thoroughly flush the system with known clean water after you are done.

Land sick is worse than sea sick for me. . .why I like to stay offshore once there!!

There is a reason the boat acronym says bring out another thousand. For those that demand that the manufacturer be accountable is justified BUT it is like a marriage relationship. There is give a take. If you “demand” things the manufacturer can make your life extra difficult. Slow responses, no parts available etc. As a boat owner you have to create a relationship that works both ways. It’s not like you can go to a local dealer and trade in because you are not satisfied. It is a complex relationship that requires diplomacy from both sides. I feel for Nick because I experienced the same thing with our Spectra and decided to change it out. It is not easy- supply chain issues, costs etc. the cruising community is VERY small.

Would you consider this a manufacturing issue or quality inspection issue
