Watermakers
Reverse osmosis is a
required component of any of today's successful boating
strategies. Reliable and compact, watermakers add a
significantly improved level of comfort, safety and self
sufficiency to any vessel. An unlimited onboard source
of extremely high quality fresh water can be priceless.
Sport fisherman have long known that the ability to ice
down a catch affects quality, and the
required ice production can only be possible with a
watermaker:

With all of that being said, it seems
apparent that from a cost-to-benefit standpoint, a water-
maker is an easily justifiable system to invest in for most
recreational boaters.
If you have ever had to pay for water only to find out that not
only was it overpriced, but the quality was also poor, then you
know how much most of us have taken 'city water' for granted. As
we travel we also realize quickly that not everyone agrees on
what passes as 'drinking water'.
Advances in technology have made it affordable and practical to
produce potable water from most any type of feed source
available. Reverse osmosis technology has become a workhorse in
many varied approaches to purifying water and is uniquely well
suited for the marine industry.
Reverse osmosis membrane technology is not new, it's been
available for decades. Large vessels have been relying on this
source of fresh water for some time, but as more manufacturers
get involved in providing a marine product, the more affordable,
compact and capable watermakers are becoming.
Even the way a modern vessel may be designed has been affected
as much less tankage is required if you have the ability to
recover while under way. The high quality water produced is an
excellent option when all things are considered, once most boat
owners begin to get used to having a reverse osmosis watermaker
they regret not having invested in a larger capacity. Many
brands are available, and they all claim to have built a better
mousetrap. It is important to do your home work.
Voda has been servicing and installing
watermakers for years and we have had the opportunity to service
and test models from almost every brand. We are confident when
we say that the watermakers from
FCI are the best
performance to value units out there! Simply
