DESALINATOR!
Water purifier and desalination systems are!
available now. These systems such as the one!
manufactured by "H.R.O. Systems" cost a minimum of!
$3,000 and produce between 100 and 400 gallons of!
water a day.!
They do, however, require a 110-volt system or!
a pump installed on the engine. They are self cleaning!
systems and, if used, you will require only two water!
tanks instead of four. You will also be assured of the!
quality of the water at all times.!
In 1982, potable water was priced at 0.25£ a!
gallon and even then its purity was questionable.!
The system mentioned above is very easy to install and!
requires low maintenance and is self-cleaning.!
Very soon, we believe, they will be standard equipment!
on sailboats.!
