Wow! That's cool! We should be adding this to our buy list as were still doing a huge refit on our 65' power catamaran!!

[@Stuwy2]

we love our water maker, it changed our cruising life. only makes 5L an hour but works for us

[@sailorama]

5L/hour sounds fine as long as the power use is economical 👍🏼

[@Stuwy2]

@ yes it runs about 3 to 4 amps. We normally run it 1 or 2 hours a day

[@daveamies5031]

2L / day /person is the minimum for survival, so if it's only 2 of you a few hours a day is plenty to have a comfortable amount of water 👍sounds like you have a great system

[@Stuwy2]

@ two adults and one baby, every now and again we run it for 5 hours, we have enough solar that it basically doesn't matter. we have lived aboard for 6 years so quite comfortable managing our water supply.

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

Water is life! I love the taste of rain water but do filter it, too.

[@sailorama]

I'm talking about it because it's so important to life 🌏 Thanks as always!

[@EanestoB0rg9-s1h]

Have you tried solar stills? I would imagine one could build a pretty effective one with minimal equipment.

[@sailorama]

Yes, an emergency solar still (on land) can be built with a plastic bottle and plastic bag, placed strategically into sand or dirt. I would like to do a test/experiment/practice video about that sometime!

[@CraigGjerdingen-fo7te]

I love living in a blue state, that wont, even if the fed gov goes to shit, we have people who will watch out for corporate and other polluters. Go blue now to keep your water safe.

es verdad

[@mngbennett]

Thank you Justine. Interesting video despite the ever present dog hair.

[@sailorama]

Thank you for watching despite all the dog hairs 😂

[@ObsessivebyNaturePod]

Very cool product! I wonder how long before such things become needed in other countries succumbing to privatization/deregulation?

[@sailorama]

Well, we sure are needing it now 👏

[@daveamies5031]

I know I'm a bit of a sceptic, but how expensive are those proprietary filters? I'm wondering if this is this the cheap inject printer of the water filter world? i.e. the unit is cheap and so they easily give it away because they make their money back on the proprietary filters? I hope I'm wrong and those filters are cheap and available everywhere 🤞otherwise it's just e-waste when the filters are done, and that would be very sad.

[@sailorama]

Hey this is definitely a concern of mine as well. A desalinator has more cycles and is more universal, however I will take what comes. The difference in cost is immense. The machine itself is in the 300 usd range, replacement filters for the Itehil are 30 - 40 usd range, compared to a desalinator which costs minimum 3000 usd.

[@daveamies5031]

@@sailorama Well that's not so bad I guess, those filters are about double what standard house water filters that just remove chlorine and metallic taste from tap water are here in Australia, so for filters that are making clean water from brackish? river water, it seems reasonable given the cost of the machine, this is much better that I was concerned about 👍

[@devinharp636]

Congratulations.. this is a game changer!

[@sailorama]

Thank you, we also think so!

[@maryjnorwood3962]

Nice! (We will definitely investigate getting one.😕🙁☹️😖😩😭)

[@sailorama]

🫣

[@maryjnorwood3962]

@ yep

[@alitloff]

Just curious-what about all those pipes coming down that locals fill from?

[@sailorama]

I'm not sure what you mean...perhaps asking what do locals drink? They use a combination of river water (different levels of filtration systems), rainwater, and store-bought water.

[@alitloff]

@ I’ve seen other KZbin channels in dinghies filing their jugs from pipes coming down from up high. Granted those sailors weren’t from the US, so maybe not an option for us?

[@sailorama]

Ah, the runoff/rainwater - we saw local people collecting water coming down from the cliffs as well. The problem is the same as when I collect rain water. Birds and other animals can poop 'upstream' from where you are collecting. the water can be relatively clean, but less clean than Reverse Osmosis filtration.

[@alitloff]

@@sailorama thanks for the clarification…IF I make it there, gonna go German like my ancestors & drink that sh*t.😂

[@theislandpackrat]

How long before you have to change the filters?

[@sailorama]

Itehil says that the filters make between 400 to 800 gallons before they need replacing.

[@carlthor91]

Yes, just look at what is going on with UK water companies, after they were privatized by the Tory's. Definitely need filters.

[@sailorama]

I'm happy to have water filtration, but not happy that more land-lubbers need water filtration 😕

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

Things go in cycles, and finding a few good places to be on our boats for the best life has to offer is essential. Glad you are "there."

[@sail-o9j]

Might not be safe. The PPM does not tell the whole story. Please do a little more research on that.

[@sailorama]

You bring up a good point that I did not discuss - technically those 12 parts per million could be some deadly, toxic remaining parts. The TDS only allows me to compare and contrast numbers. It's clear that that filters are removing the majority of particles in the water. I would need to do buy a testing kit to find out exactly what is left 👍🏼
