What size is right for you?
The first step in choosing a watermaker is understanding your water needs. Sounds simple, but what many forget is the change in mentality from living in a house to spending time on a boat. Just like you take fewer clothes, fewer shoes, and shorten your menu, water needs decrease dramatically as well. In fact, the average daily usage on a cruising sailboat is between 1.5 and 3 gallons of water per person per day.
Which model best fits your daily needs?
We recommend choosing a model that can produce your calculated daily water needs in 2 to 4 hours of operation per day (minimum).
