The ECHO Tec. AML/S series seawater desalination system is a well-proven cruising equipment for sailing and motor yachts with single-phase generators of 1.3 KW or larger. Designed by and for cruisers, these rugged yacht watermakers have been continually improved since their first introduction in 1997. The design has proven its extreme reliability and longevity in more than 40 million combined real-world operating hours.
The innovative system features like pH neutralizing post-treatment, high-pressure pump noise reduction, O-ring sealed high-pressure connectors throughout the system, field attachable high-pressure hose fittings or easy owners’ installation, together with low purchase/maintenance cost, and cruiser-friendly, world-renowned after sales service makes ECHOTec watermakers the sensible choice for boaters anywhere on the planet.
Select your system configuration:
Modular – to fit into the smallest possible space available and for easy access to the system components.
Compact – self-contained in a sleek, lightweight aluminum frame for time-saving installation and added system features

Sargasso Compact – Advanced desalination technology
Because only track records count, ECHOTec Sargasso Compact desalination systems are built without any finicky electronics. Despite many optional system features such as a real-time salinity monitor, hour meter, and automatic fresh water flush timer, all functions are controlled by rugged mechanical components and low voltage electrical circuitry – more reliable and repairable anywhere you go.
Sargasso Compact is the most versatile watermaker available nowadays! Frame, pre-filters, and pressure vessels can be separately mounted view drawings. Simply select output, frame configuration, optional features, and choice of color scheme for your application and we build Sargasso Compact to your exact technical and esthetical requirements.
