DIY 12V water maker kit – 12 Volt watermaker desalinator
In the Blue Gold ZERO series Watermakers you will find only the essential components of a well-functioning reverse osmosis desalination system.
The required power is very low, only 450 Watt (less than 40 Amperes at 13 Volt) and you can produce freshwater without the need of a generator or a big alternator on the engine of the boat.
The Blue Gold ZERO Water maker is intended for use by recreational yachts, small leisure boats and sailboats where purchase and maintenance of the desalination plant on board need to be economical. Around this simple, less expensive and very reliable marine watermaker, you can install additional components according to the specific needs of the boat.
| The boat desalinator ZERO is supplied as a DIY water maker kit, but no specials skills or wrenches are required to perform this job. Inserting the membranes in the RO pressure vessels is a simple task and you can follow our YOUTUBE video to get it done.
The high pressure unit with the digital pressure gauge + pressure switch and the relay box of the Blue Gold water maker are supplied already mounted and tested. In the relay box are hosted 2 latch relays and 2 push buttons for the high pressure pump and for the feed pump. The pump and motor assembly are as well supplied already mounted. |
This small watermaker for sailboat unit is built to last and comes with 1x 2540 or 2x 2521 high rejection and high productivity seawater membranes. A new vessel rack made in composite, strong and very lightweight, is supplied as standard.
Its modular design allows an easy handling of the components even in the narrow spaces of a boat .
This sail boat water maker is equipped with the UDOR PSC (AISI 316L head) or the UDOR PNC (Brass head) high pressure pump.
The use of an oversized pump, combined with the use of a timing-belt and pulley drive system, reduces the speed of the pump and makes this machine very quiet (only 70 db at one meter distance) and vibration-free. In addition, the life of the mechanical components and valves is greatly increased.
An appropriate feed pump, is supplied as standard for carrying the seawater to the high pressure pump.
Installing a desalinator for seawater onboard significantly increases the level of comfort of your boating life.
So, even if you are looking just for a portable water maker or portable desalination kit for your boat, Blue Gold small marine water maker ZERO 12V 50 l/h is an alternative option worth considering.
