Crew drinks fresh water aboard sailboat with baby
Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Tomas and Agus, owners of the sailboat *Bohemia*, install a used Sea Water Pro watermaker to achieve self-sufficiency in fresh water production.▶ 0:56 After purchasing the unit on eBay for $1,500, Tomas performs a complete rebuild, including painting the electrical panel with Rust-Oleum and cleaning stainless steel fittings in vinegar to remove calcification.▶ 5:19 The installation process involves significant modifications to the boat’s interior, including the removal of a legacy septic tank to create space for the system.▶ 7:25 When the initial locker location proves too cramped, the crew relocates the components, including the high-pressure pump and pre-filters, to a space beneath the cabin floorboards.▶ 14:16 The system uses two pre-filters—a 20-micron and a 5-micron—to feed the high-pressure reverse osmosis membranes.▶ 17:13 Following a successful pressure test at 700 psi, the system reduces water salinity from 1,500 ppm to 198 ppm.▶ 19:14 The project confirms that a used watermaker can be successfully refurbished and integrated into a cruising vessel with basic tools and generic replacement parts.
