Marine Water Knowledge Base
A technical reference on water treatment, disinfection, materials, biofilm, corrosion and the control of vessel drinking-water systems.
TECHNICAL REFERENCE
Find guidance by topic
Browse marine treatment technology, water chemistry, biofilm, corrosion and operational controls. Every guide explains how the process works, its benefits, limitations and what to monitor on board.
Log water checks digitally
Record drinking water and pool/spa measurements, follow trends and open reports securely.
Crew Water Monitoring →TROUBLESHOOTING & DIAGNOSTICS
Open troubleshooting guides →Find the cause before treating the symptom
Practical onboard fault guides for water colour, odour, biofilm, pressure, filters, corrosion and pool/spa. Check, record and escalate instead of guessing.

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC): When Biofilm Affects Metal
Microorganisms can accelerate local corrosion, but detecting bacteria alone does not prove MIC.
Preview article →Stainless Steel Pitting and Crevice Corrosion
Stainless steel relies on a passive film; it is not immune to chloride-driven local corrosion.
