How to Make Water OFF-GRID on the OCEAN! Unlimited FRESH WATER Forever! | ep.22

[@munfyphoto]

So I have been binge watching since episode one. I am a photographer and edit all day at my computer so I can listen, watch, and rewind and watch what I missed. One of my favorite things about your videos is how you take a minute to explain things that you're doing. Most people just show the highlights but you guys break it down. And last, your humbleness as to not bash the guy who sold you the boat. At least not on video lol. Man that wasn't an honest sale by any means! Boat is looking sa-weet tho!!

[@Greg-pt7ur]

I am so impressed by Raff's ability to successfully fabircate the floor in a remote location and have it come out perfectly. Also, LOVE the water maker, in particular a model designed with commonly available parts because we all know it will break down in a remote backwater, not in Florida. :) love your videos. Keep it up.

[@jamesbell8529]

Raff, had Sascha to direct the process.

[@dahveed284]

If you watch the earlier videos, you'll see that Raff was a contractor, so he has the skills and tools. And does great work.

[@shane7826]

Post a ducking video man. What happened to we’re gonna post every week 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@shane7826]

You can’t build a channel being inconsistant you guys said you were gonna post every week and your late every week. If you would start treating this like a job like I know you know how to do than your channel would be unstoppable. Now I know that the sound of having sucks but at the end of the day you need one just like we need you so post a god damn video will y’a

[@patrickgreen2361]

Educational stuff isn’t supposed to be so entertaining! Just love y’all’s ying vs yang.

[@curtischambers5652]

The floors though! awesome!

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Honestly that was with out a doubt the best "water maker" video I've seen. Most are so boring I can feel my brain leaking from my ear. I also love the idea of a mechanical system and not one controlled by a green board considering the lightning possibilities and the nature of saltwater air.

[@captainmike124]

After running other people's boats for 20 years and dealing with all the ridiculously expensive watermakers out there, I retired, bought a boat, and put one of Mike's units in it first thing. Over 4 years and flawless. Good choice. Congrats on the floors, btw.

[@Corvette_pilot]

Don’t forget to give the Manatee’s a big drink whenever they are around! Awesome job! 😎🤙🏼

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you 🤘🏼🍻

[@RNVOS]

Finally 2 clean sailors!!!! Great job you two! ❤ from 🇨🇦

[@hoosierpete]

Having a water maker is a real game changer, between that and spearfishing the only you have to back for is beer and rum.

[@coryrichter3680]

Most dramatic Watermaker Install to date!

[@obieandlaurie]

Now that you have water onboard it’s time to have a foam party! A little something from us to help buy the soap. Congrats and job well done. 🫧🫧🍻🤗🍻🤗🫧🫧

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thanks again Obie!!! Haha we do need a soap party and clean this boat up!!

[@Altoid777]

Great progress on your fresh water system...Strongly recommend that you get two replacement high pressure lines for backup. I'm guessing that those two lines are not readily available like your other common plumbing parts.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Good suggestion. Yah those are probably the most difficult to replace in a hurry

[@rdavisrock]

I think your installation explanation was perfect 🎉. The graphics you show on how it works and how to install. Your video is inspiring and I loved ❤ it. Thanks for sharing.

[@coacoa289]

Great video awesome vibe

[@jacksmith8002]

You have the funniest sailing channel format out there today

[@growthguide]

That’s a sweet explanation of the system, I like it!

[@scottphillips8767]

Dude! You guys kill me! You guys would be a blast to hang out with. We’re a little old to hang out with now but your humor and energy certainly reminds me of us 20+ years ago. We will be sure to wave our say hi when we find ourselves in the same anchorage. Also: my wife is hotter than me too so don’t feel bad Bud! 😅

[@SpearItAnimal]

😂😂 We're always down for a sundowner, if you see us definitely swing by and say hi!

[@billhanna8838]

Fresh water the source of life Oh & a good sail boat & Fine woman = You got the source = ENJOY.... Dont forget the rum.

[@generossano2800]

The new fresh water system sounds and looks absolutely perfect. and, you new teak and holly cabin sole is exceptional and magnificent. You two are miracle workers. Good luck and good sailing.

[@gtequest5058]

Always great to watch. And then seeing his sister on sailing doodles.

[@bobr8766]

You guys are putting together some really interesting vids...Really like how you don't leave out any details...Great vids Raff and Sascha very well done!

[@deadphilospher6892]

OUTSTANDING and yet simple explantation of function and fitting of (osmosis) "water maker." Impressive graphic's simplicity! 11/10 if I was a teacher but I'm not (still learning). Hello to Brett & Jade - another pair of magicians. Be happy and safe always.

[@victorvos2833]

I like youre positivity! Clear drinkable water us essential.

[@Richard-R-S]

Chuckling, yeah, always be sure to "girggle" guys, get dem worms out🤔. Good info, thanks for sharing folks... God Bless🙏🏻⛵🐬

[@scottgorski7931]

Nice clean looking install. A system may not work any better when all the lines and wires are run neatly, but when the time comes to service or repair something you'll be happy you took the time to do it right.

[@markbernier8434]

It is fascinating to see an RO unit miniaturized like that. Just the bare essentials. One essential I did not see was a UV purification step. That should take care of any viruses and the like that may remain in the water. These really do work.

[@tsmckee210625]

Good job, you guys you prove that Anybody can do it all they have to do is try

[@tsmckee210625]

Plus, you gotta have some skills you got skills

[@arnorr7089]

That is one solid looking system. I love simple...

[@SpearItAnimal]

We do too!

[@arnorr7089]

I forgot to say. Your install looks fantastic. You both have so much talent in building!

[@andrewpalmer7811]

You guys are so much fun to watch whilst be very educational! Great video, thank you guys. All the best from the U.K. ⛵️👍🏻

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you! Hi to the UK👋🏼

[@paulstephens5229]

I really like the straight forward format with the touch of comedy, great video

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thanks 🍻

[@tuzaguilar4201]

One of the coolest sailing channels ever! Keep it up Raff and Sasha.

[@davidnichols147]

We installed a SeaPro desalination system last year and have been living the life aboard since. Great tutorial on your install!

[@sailingkashmir]

We are looking at that brand for our sailboat, we just have other items to get first. You would recommend them?

[@LiftRanger]

Having subscribed to about 40 sailing channels during/since the "quarantine", I'd become a bit jaded and meh watching couples working on boats. But, you two have brought new energy and excitement to it. I actually got excited for you installing your watermaker and seeing it work. Keep up the great videos. I look forward to seeing Spear it Animal reach 500K!

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Very cool to see that you guys installed an onboard de-sal unit, it will certainly prove its worth if you all are planning extended travels in your boat. That's a super clean install you did as well! Great video, and fair winds/following seas to you both! Thank you!

[@mjsorl]

Excellent, good luck, stay well

[@YahooMurray]

Great ad for the water maker - they should sponsor you and every 6 months have you talk about it again. If I needed a wtaer maker I would buy the one you did - but I would still have to pay some one to put it together for me. (smile) I enjoy your channel. Best wishes from Jomtien beach, Thailand.

[@lkeil84]

Great job on the install guys. I doubt the water will fill all tanks simultaneously, but good thinking with the valves. I put the same system in my boat Lady Bug except it runs off of a dedicated 2kw industrial inverter. Mine is located in an out of the way place and I have found that I never really need to adjust it. I had some problems with air coming in the intake while underway, but a large T in the system with a small bleed hole above the water line solved that problem. Any air bubbles in the intake really screws things up. Like you, I was intimidated at first with the install, but it really was easy. We have had it in use for 8 months over 2 seasons and it really works great. I did find the crappy plastic fitting that goes into the flow meter cracked and I replaced it with brass. I did not opt for the panel due to expense that left that flow meter just hanging out on the fittings though and that led to the crack. Just make sure to support it and the hoses going to it and things will be fine. It was nice meeting you two over there on Long Island a couple of months ago. I hope things are going well, as the weather down where you were headed looks a little dicy.

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

That cabin sole is beautiful! Glad you now have fresh water. Safe travels ❤️

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you! We're so happy with how they turned out

[@jerrymurphy6856]

I must say when you two do a project you do it very well. Like professional installors. The floors look amazing and that water system all i can say is WOW what a beautiful installation. Your boat is going to be beautiful when complete. Keep the videos coming.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you very much!

[@yellahama1]

Loved your attempt to fill your tanks in order without electronics. From an engineering perspective, it’s all about head-loss (interject jokes here). Simply put, there needs to be less resistance to the tank you want filled first (I.e. shorter hose to the first tank). If what you have doesn’t work, try adding ball valves (variable resistance) in each line and tweak them open or closed until you get the fill distribution you want. Example, the front tank ball valve will be more open and side tanks equally open but less than the front tank. Enjoy your channel.

[@D0ug13d0ug]

Great job with the boat guys. Making my way through the vids now since finding your channel. Watermakers are pretty cool tech. Here's a tip I've seen on another sailing channel as far as fresh water goes - mother nature provides several chances to collect fresh water. Your sail will collect alot for you and your sail cover is essentially a big ass cup always getting filled up. Run a hose from the low point in to your forward tank. Good idea in case the genie craps out. Keep up the great work!

[@MrJerobona]

Excellent! Congratulations!

[@dennishively5994]

I’m glad to see you have a water maker & thanks for showing the installation, just recently got a new to me sailboat for the lake

[@SpearItAnimal]

That's exciting! Sascha grew up sailing on the Great Lakes. Great place to get comfortable sailing, Enjoy it!!

[@garrettrice7598]

Let there be water! Next an ice maker? To cool your margaritas?

[@ryanmiller6887]

You make learning so much fun! Go Team Raffsha! Number 1 sailing channel on KZbin! Stationary sailing but sailing no doubt!!! Cheers!

[@svtinker]

Raffsha!

[@SpearItAnimal]

Don’t plan to be stationary for much longer! We can’t wait to get some sailing content out ⛵️

[@incognitopharaoh1778]

3 more days & we would call KZbin to send out the search parties

[@incognitopharaoh1778]

Happy 4th...especially too all of the shipwrecked SOULS out there!

[@SpearItAnimal]

Haha glad you didn’t have to send out the search parties 😆

[@michaelparker6819]

Love the show, learning a lot. You two make a great couple. Very proud of you!

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you so much!

[@garybarichello6286]

Excellent job of H2O maker install. Looks clean and tidy as your fresh water. ❤ gary in Kamloops Canada

[@ericbergdahl6971]

Great job on the installation of the water maker. Keep up the good work on the video..

[@petercroft9895]

Nice job on the install - super tidy looking!

[@rastagrastag7784]

Perfect install. I absolutely like how you used the recessed are for the panel

[@chasitytate6584]

Just saw you guys chatting about brownies with Aiyana on EE - love the interaction across channels!! Can’t wait to see you all together again 🤞 ❤

[@SpearItAnimal]

We miss that crew! Hope to be buddy boating again soon ❤️

[@Attic_Labs]

more outtakes at the end.. I gotta be honest It really reminds me of the end of the Smokey and the Bandit Movies where we all stayed later past the credits at the drive in for them.. was gold So drinking the pisswater Rav was a funny bonus I hope you don't have the lurgy now cheers

[@SpearItAnimal]

😂🤣🤣

[@royaleksandar]

This is the video I needed! Thank You so much! 🙏

[@benhill7581]

You guys are great! I love your channel Thank you guys for making Sailboat Content!

[@kellyrayx119]

Sasha making fresh water look like the elixir of the gods. Raff looks good also, Haha

[@jeffhudson4817]

Great job guys, coming along. Cant wait to see the video when u guys sail her out. Stay safe….

[@danstevens5782]

Good to see ya ! Congrats, you'll love it. Great unit!

[@mc_neville]

Good video for the 4th of July- you guys represent our country with a great can do attitude: hard work, having fun with it, working towards a goal of traveling the world on a boat you brought all the way (and them some) back. Thank you!

[@rohdek1]

Sascha tells it like it is, "basically take salt water and shove it through a tube with a filter and out comes drinking water". Love it!!

[@dougsinclair4916]

Friggin Yeah!! AWESOME!!

[@thomasroar3987]

Thanks for a very professional and very fun show. I watch lots of these and you guys are up there with the best of them. I am pretty current...just watching some shows I've missed... Keep at it. HUZZAH! tk

[@markgurley5160]

I love your ingenuity, you guys are awesome ....... respect !!!

[@80884bpresley]

Awesome video guys!!! Great water maker and install was PRO quality for sure. See yall next time.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you!!

[@dannyfisher9223]

Hey Raff I hear from your sister that you dacked her pants off her when you was kids at a wedding or something!!!! What da 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks Bobby!!🤣🤣 also thanks for yet again another awesome episode guy's 👏

[@denzlhollowaykeenan8324]

Love your chanel guys. Hope to be sailing soon....with my little family!

[@SpearItAnimal]

Best of luck! It’s a great family hobby

[@tinaeastman2745]

Pls waiting for more videos laying here recovering from surgery needing more spirit animal thank you for being fun to watch and feeling like maybe we can do this 😂

[@SpearItAnimal]

New video is going live today at 4pm EST!!

[@davidsnider242]

One of the best videos I’ve seen guys Great Job😊😊😊😊

[@SpearItAnimal]

Appreciate it 🤘🏼

[@drewr34skyline18]

Haha you guys are in your stride now each episode that little bit more polished than the last, quality keeps getting better and better. Would you ever do a video on getting into freediving.. what gear is needed and how to use it? ⛵⛵⛵⛵👌👌👌🔧⛵💨⛵

[@chopperj11]

I love your editing and the music. The added graphics are a pleasure to watch. This has to be very time consuming on top of all the work you do. great job.

[@denisbenard7480]

Great work as usual 😊and I love the floors!! The only change I would have made would be to fill the front tank last, keep the weight off the bow. I have a similar boat to yours and on long passages I usually keep the forward tank empty. Having said this, with your system it is easy to pick which tanks you fill first.

[@johnmeier270]

That's so cool, I am happy for you both. What a pain that must've been getting gallon jugs from the gas station

[@EJ-qz3tl]

Drink Beer not 💦 Drink whiskey 🥃 not 💧 Let’s see Spearing 🐟 from down deep

[@ceschias3733]

Hey Raffaele, mi cuñado, como vamos? tutto bene? Congrats on the Water Maker.

[@Corrvision]

Cool Guys another awesome video!

[@tomwilliams8675]

That was a great "how to" video. Well done guys. Nice job installing the controller in the wall, and the courtesy light, even Brian on Delos wouldn't have thought of that😅 I might suggest you get a small transfer pump to move the water between tanks just in case. They're not too expensive and better to get one now while you're here than out to sea.

[@smash7777-]

Another quality episode guys! 👍

[@Hotblackdesiato4242]

Great work, both of you! It's nice to see you guys do something that really, really improves day to day life. I mean, floors, pretty important too, but fresh water? Nice!

[@butchblum5676]

Great job of working together!!!

[@rwringstaff]

Good looking install.

[@DeirdreRubicam]

Team Raffsha, love it. Love your teaching videos. Concise and to the point, well illustrated. Beautiful.

[@vancesprock2590]

You guys have some serious skills, carpentry, wiring and many other. I love watching your channel and seeing the great things you do as s team;)

[@christ.8547]

Keep up the good work Guy's..*cool episode..💙.

[@robertscholz4486]

I see a problem with the genius plan ... once the front tank fills, the water may start coming out of the vent line for the tank before it diverts to the two other tanks. You need to make sure that the vent lines for each tank (all have a vent to allow for the air to leave the tank as it fills with water) are higher than the junction point where the diversion manifold is located. Please take the time to extend the vent lines to appropriate heights if you intend to make this your method of filling the tanks, otherwise you might just find your bilge full of fresh water!!!

[@danfadden]

I knew it couldn’t be that simple. I figured if I agreed and approved right away, then they were missing something. Lol

[@georgewelford8648]

Nice. I can’t wait for to go get after it!

[@bssdragon]

Awesome channel and work. RO health tip from an RO engineer: add alkalinity and minerals back before drinking over the long term. They do this in city scale plants. I would use calcium carbonate - low solubility so hard to OD. RO water can be so pure its bad for you over the long term. I want to see you vibrantly showing us the good life for decades!

[@daner.d]

have you thought of making IRL videos that are longer in length? I watch videos and I want more, like you can only have 1 beer but I want to get hammered. might save you time with editing. just a thought, you guys are fun to watch :-)

[@TurnOffYourTV]

Thanks for the inspiration. Dig the channel. .. S/V Kota.

[@appick01]

Starting to look pretty good there! Loose the silicon for sealing stuff though, and wire nuts are never ok on a boat, properly crimped butt connectors with a adhesive shrink wrap are the way to go.

[@bobrayner8878]

Having seen what you have both done to a basic wreck is outstanding. Big shout out to you both. Keep it up the good work.

[@Scottab96]

Great install video!

[@ryanrabdau5615]

I will use the link. Love the install. 😊
