Electric 12/24 Volt DC Model

This Electric 12 DC model  produces 70 liters per hour.  It is a good option where your on board DC power supply is reinforced by a good sized solar array.  Run your water maker off your solar panels, wind generator or engine alternator.  If you have a generator fitted, you can also run the system with battery charger power.

With a 56 amp draw (700 Watts), this system is well suited for boats equipped with 1000 Watts or more of solar.  The faster water production replaces the water you use with less run time.  We have recently upgraded this system to be more energy efficient, which has reduced energy requirements by 12 amps.  The new brushless motor makes use of a weatherproof and reliable controller that is commonly used in small electric vehicles.  The pump and motor assembly comes pre-wired and mounted on an aluminium plate (as above).  All that is needed to connect are power wires, and a pair of wires that run to the switch, on the control panel.

Make water with renewable energy, or power from your alternator.  These systems are straight-forward to install.  If you can feed a decent amount of power into your batteries, this system can turn it into fresh water.

This system meets the needs of those boats that have invested in solar as their primary energy source, especially catamarans that have a lot of suitable surface area for fitting solar.

This system has also proven popular with boats that use their alternator as their primary source of electricity.  The ability to make water while motoring as well as when the engine is running for battery charging, or for charging engine driven refrigeration, has proven to be a good fit for many boats.



Also available as a 24 Volt system.

Units are modular in design allowing you to fit system components in available spaces on your boat..

Open Ocean is of the belief that water makers are no longer a luxury item, but an essential piece of equipment to provide superior quality water for all of your requirements.
