Clear Mate Mobile

Blue Water ClearMate Mobile CM²

ClearMate Mobile is a portable freshwater reverse-osmosis system for yacht washdowns and final rinsing at the dock. It reduces dissolved solids that can leave water spots on glass, paintwork and polished metal. Its wheels and handles let crew move the unit around the marina or boatyard without a permanent onboard installation.

Rinse water from a freshwater supply

The system accepts dock water or freshwater produced by an existing seawater desalination system. Its high-rejection membranes are rated for up to 99% total dissolved solids rejection. Automatic operation and a mechanical flow meter support routine use, with a NEMA 4X enclosure described by Blue Water as waterproof and flame-retardant.

Use ClearMate Mobile for freshwater polishing. A yacht that needs to make freshwater directly from seawater requires an appropriate marine watermaker.

Choosing the mobile configuration

The CMM2M specification is 115 V, 60 Hz, with a running current of 10 A and a weight of 130 lb (59 kg). Check the dock supply and the route between storage and the washdown position before ordering. The current CMM2M brochure gives overall dimensions of 54.1 × 13.8 × 12.1 inches (1373 × 349 × 308 mm). Confirm the revision of the unit when planning close-fitting storage.

ClearMate Mobile is separate from the permanently installed ClearMate range, which has 1,000, 2,000 and 2,800 GPD production options. Those fixed-system ratings are not a production rating for this mobile unit.

Filters and optional equipment

The CMM2M replacement KDF/GAC filter element is C102701. Optional equipment includes the G240701 cover and FL1133 external dual prefilter assembly. Specify these separately where required and match parts to the unit’s model before ordering. Use the instructions for the supplied system to set its servicing schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run ClearMate Mobile from seawater when the yacht is away from the dock?

Its specified feed sources are dock water and freshwater from an existing desalination system. It is a freshwater polishing system for rinsing, so raw seawater requires a separate seawater watermaker first.

Can the CMM2M version run from a 230 V, 50 Hz marina socket?

The listed CMM2M supply is 115 V, 60 Hz, with a 10 A running current. A 230 V, 50 Hz socket does not match that specification. Arrange a suitable supply or confirm another configuration with Yacht-Mate before ordering.

How much space should I allow to store ClearMate Mobile between washdowns?

The current CMM2M brochure gives overall dimensions of 54.1 × 13.8 × 12.1 inches (1373 × 349 × 308 mm), and a weight of 130 lb (59 kg). Allow access for movement and connections in addition to the unit itself. Check the unit revision before building storage around it.

Which filter should I order for CMM2M, and is the external prefilter included?

The listed replacement element is C102701, the Mobile KDF/GAC filter. The FL1133 external dual prefilter assembly is optional equipment, so specify it with the order if required. Check the model before ordering parts for an older unit.

Should I choose ClearMate Mobile or a fixed ClearMate for regular yacht rinsing?

Choose Mobile when portability and moving the system between storage and the dock matter. The fixed ClearMate range provides an installed alternative with 1,000, 2,000 and 2,800 GPD options. Do not use those production figures to size the mobile system.
