The crew of Nandji - Frothlyfe installs a 12-volt Rainman watermaker to increase self-sufficiency while anchored in Malaysia.4:48 The system includes a high-pressure pump, a single reverse osmosis membrane, a pre-filter, and an auto-flush unit.5:34 To minimize cable runs and plumbing complexity, the crew mounts the high-pressure pump and filters inside a bathroom cupboard, utilizing existing access to the battery bank, a freshwater source for the auto-flush, and a seawater intake seacock.9:08 The installation requires removing a leaking water bladder, drilling through multiple bulkheads to route hoses, and replacing the galley faucet with a dual-tap fixture to allow for water quality testing before filling the 200-liter tank.6:58 The 12-volt system produces 70 liters of fresh water per hour, powered by the boat's solar array and house battery bank.5:57 The auto-flush feature, set on a weekly timer, eliminates the need for chemical pickling of the membrane.13:17 Proper planning of component placement near existing infrastructure simplifies the integration of electrical and plumbing systems.
