For yacht owners, access to fresh drinking water is essential for long voyages and comfortable living at sea. Traditional freshwater storage tanks are limited in capacity, requiring frequent stops at marinas for refills. High-quality watermakers, like those offered by ECHOTec, provide a sustainable solution by converting seawater into potable water, ensuring an uninterrupted supply.
Real-Life Success Stories
Enhancing Performance During Competitive Sailing
Kent King, owner of the sailing vessel “El Oro,” participated in the Newport to Bermuda Race. To ensure his crew had a reliable freshwater supply without compromising performance, he installed an ECHOTec 260-DML-1 watermaker. Kent shared:
“Having the ECHOTec 260-DML-1 on board and functioning superbly was of great assistance to our efforts during the Newport to Bermuda Race. Thanks for providing such exemplary service—which has impressed me along the lines of your pragmatic and efficient watermakers.”
Long-Term Cruising with Uninterrupted Water Supply
Peter Giller upgraded his 10.8m sloop, “Tryphena,” for an extensive trip along Australia’s east coast to the Kimberley. Recognizing the need for a dependable freshwater source, he invested in an ECHOTec 260-DML-1 watermaker. Peter noted:
“We upgraded many systems on our 10.8m sloop Tryphena for our trip from the east coast to the Kimberley. The ECHOTec 260-DML-1 watermaker was probably the best investment we made. It is a beautiful piece of engineering and lived up to our every expectation.”
How ECHOTec Watermakers Stand Out
Yacht owners choose ECHOTec watermakers for their durability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. Key advantages include:
- Energy Efficiency: Designed for minimal power consumption.
- Compact Design: Easily fits into limited onboard spaces.
- High Output Capacity: Suitable for various yacht sizes.
- User-Friendly Operation: Simple controls for easy use.
Can You Desalinate Water on a Boat?
A common question among sailors is whether it’s possible to desalinate water onboard. While boiling seawater removes impurities, it doesn’t eliminate salt effectively. A reverse osmosis desalinator, like ECHOTec’s watermakers, is the only viable solution for converting seawater into safe, drinkable water.
Choosing the Right Watermaker for Your Yacht
Selecting the right watermaker depends on factors such as:
- Boat Size & Storage Capacity: Different models cater to various yacht sizes.
- Power Availability: Options for both electric and engine-driven systems.
- Water Production Needs: From small sailing boats to luxury yachts, ECHOTec offers a range of models to meet demand.
