  • When serving in the Navy I had to stand water maker watches. This was watching the gages to be sure there was proper flow, pressures and temperatures to convert salt water to fresh water for use aboard the ship. We also had to watch the temperature in the compartment we were in. That temperature ran between 136F and 142F. We had to sit below a large airduct with a blower. This was not Air conditioned air but ambient air from outside. Each watch lasted about 45 minutes.
