Marine Water Maker FAQs
How much does a marine water maker cost?
Dessalator marine water makers start at £7,095 excluding VAT for the Dessalator D30 Freedom, which makes 30 litres of fresh water an hour. The largest in our range, the Dessalator D300 PRO, makes 300 litres an hour and costs £17,395 excluding VAT.
Is a water maker the same as a desalination unit?
Yes. Water maker, watermaker, desalinator and desalination unit are all names for the same thing: a reverse osmosis system that pushes seawater through a membrane at high pressure, leaving the salt behind and sending fresh water to the boat's tanks.
Can a boat water maker run on 12V?
Yes. The Dessalator D30 Freedom, D60 Freedom and D100 Freedom run on 12V or 24V DC power from the engine alternator, and the Dessalator DUO 60 and DUO 100 run on 12V or 24V DC or on AC from a generator or inverter.
Which marine water maker is best for my boat?
The best fit depends on the power you have on board. Dessalator Freedom models run on DC power from the engine alternator, Dessalator Cruise models on AC from a generator or inverter, Dessalator DUO models on either, and Dessalator PRO models suit larger yachts where freshwater demand is high.
