Where the controls go
The Quencher control panel runs your system from the main cabin. Here's how it fits, with examples from real boats.
Cabin Control
Run it from the main cabin.
The Quencher control panel brings operation out of the bilge or engine room and into the main cabin.
Quencher: cabin control
- You're in control. The electronic panel is easy to use, but it isn't automated. You flip the switches yourself, so there are no surprise cycles or error codes.
- Easy operation. A quick start-up gets fresh water into your tanks. When you're done, a fresh-water flush runs at the flick of a switch to protect the membranes.
- Discreet installation. The compact panel needs just two hoses to the cabin: high-pressure supply and low-pressure discharge. Flush-mount it in your cabinetry, or surface-mount it on the optional stand-off bracket.
- Galley sample valve. The separate sample/tank valve usually lives out of sight in the locker under the galley sink, so you can test water straight into the basin.
