What this video covers

The Osmosea watermaker, presented at the Genoa boat show, features a vertical design intended for installation in tight spaces on 34- to 40-foot sailboats.1:45 The unit utilizes a Clark pump to reach the necessary pressure for desalination without requiring an external generator.1:25 It operates on direct current, drawing 9 to 10 amps per hour directly from the boat's battery bank.3:02 The system produces a nominal output of 25 to 30 liters of fresh water per hour, depending on water temperature and salinity.3:12 By stacking the osmotic membrane and the Clark pump vertically, the manufacturer reduces the unit's footprint, allowing for easier integration into small lockers.2:26 The list price for the system is 4,400 euros plus VAT, though the manufacturer offers discounts during boat shows.4:02 This equipment allows smaller vessels to remain at anchor for extended periods by eliminating the need for frequent port stops to replenish water supplies.
