I got a Katadyn 160…12V (runs when engine is running) and super simple. Just a power switch, a high pressure pump, a couple filters, a membrane, and a few valves. No computers or fancy electronics. It’ll make about 6.5 gallons per hour when underway or running the genset. I tend to run 6-10 hours per day, so I should be able to get at least 32 gallons a day accounting for the wasted water at startup.

The Spectra Catalina 150 was tempting. All automatic, computerized, etc. More expensive (I got a deal on the Katadyn) and much more to go wrong. My main and generator are mechanical and I love the simplicity, so I figured I’d carry that over to the water maker.

After this summer I’m less inclined to switch boats soon, so I figure I’ll do some work on this one over the winter…

Will do!
What watermaker did you order? That’s something on our list as well. Would love to know what you got and how the installation goes…we’d consider it for this boat, even. 🙂

They’re very simply and incredibly accurate once you create a table that correlates inches of fluid to gallons. No electronics.

After last summer in Alaska and this summer in Haida Gwaii I ordered a water maker a couple weeks ago. Showers every day (once I get it installed)!
