PAGE 1 OF 4 BWDESAL.COM Over the last two decades, technological advancements have provided tremendous changes in the way boats are designed, outfitted and operated. Boats have increased in size, amenities and luxury while composite materials, advanced construction processes and propulsion technologies have increased speed and efficiency; allowing for greater range and improved comfort. One of the technologies making this possible are desalination systems—commonly known as watermakers. As units become easier to install and use, watermakers have become more and more prevalent and desired in sportfishing boats, sailboats and motoryachts alike. For mariners planning long-range cruising adventures and overnight fishing expeditions, large fuel supplies and efficient engines and generators mean less stops for provisioning. However, most boats and yachts only factor a couple hundred gallons or less for freshwater storage. To ensure your water supplies can keep up with your travel plans without forced rationing, marine watermakers have become a valuable tool. Watermakers utilize reverse osmosis technology to convert salt water or fresh water into pure water that is almost completely devoid of minerals. Ensuring Near-Endless Pure Water at the Dock and Afar
PAGE 2 OF 4 The water produced by a high quality watermaker is soft, making it great for washing and bathing, is also drinkable, and great for washing down your boat after a day of catching billfish or island hopping. A high quality watermaker can produce water that is more pure than dock water or other municipal supplies. This pure water is much gentler for when washing and rinsing your topcoat, brightwork, canvas and enclosures. Plus, your ice machines will benefit from the soft, lowmineral content water. Even top cruising destinations around the globe have become known for having poor water quality at the dock. Installing a cutting-edge marine desalination unit aboard your boat means you no longer have to pay for, or use the poor quality dock water. While it is clear that water produced from a marine desalination system provides many benefits over the water you may fill your tanks with currently, the biggest benefit of a watermaker on board is ensuring

One solution many crews and owners accept is packing additional freshwater in jugs, bottles and tanks, which quickly adds more weight, consumes storage space on board and results in more trash. Investing in a cutting-edge watermaker from Blue Water Desalination (BWD) alleviates the anxiety of rationing water, while freeing up space and debris. Plus, the water produced by a watermaker is usually far superior to what your accustomed to adding to the tanks. Like any boat system or technology, regular maintenance is required to ensure optimum performance of your watermaker system.
