Water Makers Australia: fresh water made offshore
Water Makers Australia supplies reverse-osmosis systems that turn seawater into fresh water aboard a boat. For cruising owners, the result is water for cooking, washing and showers with less reliance on finding somewhere ashore to refill the tanks.
Produce water to suit the crew
A longer trip or more people aboard can change how quickly the freshwater supply is used. A watermaker adds production during the trip rather than leaving the boat dependent only on what was loaded before departure.
The company's membrane configurations have published capacities up to 80, 160 and 240 litres per hour. We like that the choice can follow expected consumption and the power available to run the system. Matching those needs gives the capacity figure a practical meaning aboard.
Plan an installation you can maintain
Pumps, filters and membranes can be fitted separately. This modular approach provides flexibility when arranging the equipment around an existing boat's machinery, lockers and other systems.
Service access can be considered while choosing component positions. Standard parts and filter cartridges are also part of the offering. For owners who maintain their vessels, those details are useful alongside the water-production capability itself.
Why we feature Water Makers Australia
Making fresh water offshore is a direct comfort and convenience benefit. It can reduce the pressure to organise every stay around tank levels and marina refill points.
We feature the business because it offers that capability with different production choices and a flexible installation approach. An owner can assess the system around the boat's water demand, power and available space, with the aim of supporting the cruising they want to do.
