Watermakers might sound dramatic, but they’re absolutely essential for staying out on the sea for long stretches. If you love the quiet of the ocean, the cool breeze, and your boat’s bright sails, then sailing isn’t just a hobby, it’s a need.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\nA survey found that about 12-15% of people in the U.S. go sailing.<\/strong><\/span><\/i>\\\\n\\\\nThat’s millions of people hitting the water daily. It shows that folks are much more comfortable sailing for fun on their own than they were even ten years ago. A lot of that credit goes to better boat technology. Boats have come a long way, from safe rooms with clean bathrooms to fancy dining areas without leaky worries. But let’s talk about something else that’s really changed things: the watermaker on your boat.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\n \\\\n\\\\nWhat is a watermaker?<\/b>\\\\n\\\\nIt’s exactly what it sounds like: a pretty compact piece of equipment that makes water good enough to drink. When you’re at sea, you can’t rely on your freshwater supply. It’ll either run out or get contaminated by seawater. A watermaker pretty much solves all your freshwater problems.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\nIt uses a standard 5-stage filtration system, with <\/span>Reverse Osmosis<\/span><\/a> at its heart. The membrane makes sure the water you get has only the best minerals for your health and, of course, for hydration.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\n \\\\n\\\\nBut why filter?<\/b>\\\\n\\\\nMany people try to save money by just stocking their boats with freshwater reserves. But this causes two big problems for your sailing trips.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n
