How to install a DIY watermaker: [ Ссылка ]

***Update 2024/01/12***

It's been over four years since we installed our watermaker. It has been performing flawlessly ever since and has afforded us some well-needed and appreciated self-sufficiency throughout the Mediterannean (where marinas are super expensive), through ocean crossings (yeay for showers) and through covid lockdowns (where we had zero possibility to get water otherwise).

We added a control panel in our galley which has been incredibly practical and have upgraded the membrane to the latest SeaWater Pro one. We've been buying filters and parts in hardware stores all over the World (way easier than having to order proprietary parts) and we produce 19-20 gallons (70-75 liters) of fresh water per hour.

April 2019:

We’ve known for a long time that we wanted a watermaker, but we simply did not have the budget to make it happen.
That was before one of you guys, tipped us off on how to make your own watermaker.

So we’ve done our research, and started to realize that a watermaker was in reach, a lot more than we thought.

So in this video, Ryan explains how to make water on a sailboat, how a watermaker works, what are the different parts of a watermaker and what their role is, and how to operate it.

We then go through different watermaker alternatives: off-the-shelf, (such as Spectra, Eco-tech or Rainman) and “Do it yourself”, while listing their respective pros and cons.
