WHY DO I NEED AN ON-BOARD WATER PROCESSOR?
An onboard water purifier provides savings in:
- Time: There is no need to look for nearby ports to stock up or buy water, not even to drink.
- Weight and space: There is no need to store water and the reduction in weight and draft of the boat allows more space for storage or fuel tanks in the case of long trips.
- Money: there is no need to dock in port during high season, there is no need to buy and store water, which reduces ballast and saves on fuel. In addition, there are water purifiers with very low power consumption (starting from 4 Watt/litre).
It also provides:
- Greater autonomy: by not depending on stored water, there will be no need to change plans to go to port and load water.
- Greater comfort: water consumption will eventually go beyond the minimum comfort amounts.
- An impact on safety and health by being able to consume water free of bacteria and viruses. For destinations where it is easier to contract diseases through water, a UV sterilizer can also be used.
- Possibility of washing the boat with demineralized water without leaving stains.
