The water blade of a yacht waterfall is not even
If the water blade of a yacht's waterfall, or any water blade in general, is not uniform, there may be a malfunction that requires attention. An uneven waterfall can compromise the aesthetics and functionality of the system, impacting the onboard experience's quality. The causes may be the following:
System design and pump flow rate
The first check involves ensuring the correct design of the system. A key parameter is the flow rate of the electric pump, which must be suitable for the length of the water blade. Typically, a uniform water blade requires a flow of about 200 liters per minute per meter of water blade. If the flow rate is insufficient, the water flow will be weak or inconsistent. In such cases, it may be necessary to replace the pump with a higher-capacity model. This task must be performed exclusively by a qualified technician, as it requires specific skills and appropriate equipment.
Cleaning the flow base and removing deposits
Another common issue is the accumulation of dirt or limescale on the water flow base of the yacht's pool. When the base is dirty or encrusted, the water flow can become irregular or disrupted. To resolve this, clean the base using a specific product for removing limescale and other debris. It is also advisable to perform regular maintenance on the water blade to prevent deposit buildup from affecting the system's performance.
Water blade installation level
It is also important to check whether the water blade has been installed perfectly levelled. If it is not properly aligned, water will flow more heavily from the lowest point, creating an uneven or concentrated jet in one part of the blade. Proper installation requires precise leveling of the structure to ensure even distribution of the water flow across the entire width of the blade.
Inspecting pipes and control valves
In some systems, uneven water blade distribution may be caused by blockages or issues in the pipes supplying the waterfall. Check that there are no obstructions or restrictions along the water path and that any control valves are fully open to allow a steady and sufficient water flow. More in-depth inspections by a specialized technician may be required to ensure the system operates correctly.
