Watermakers and desalination systems

Watermakers – technically known as desalination units – use a process called reverse osmosis (RO) to make drinking water. By forcing salty water at a high pressure against one side of an RO membrane, fresh water will slowly seep through, leaving the salt and bacteria behind.

Purpose & Function

The primary purpose of a watermaker is to provide a reliable sourcew of fresh water in locations where fresh water is limited, such as on boats, in remote coastal communities, or during emergencies.
