Wondering if anyone has heard/seen/had any such thing.
We have a 22' sailboat we would like to use it in brackisk/salt water as
well as fresh. Ability to carry it on hikes/camping would be great as well.
Large capacity is not critical (1-2 gal per day would be plenty).
There are plenty of purifiers on the market (Katadyn, First Need, MSR,
etc.), but none can desalinate.
The PUR 06 is strictly for survival purposes in a liferaft. It's
short handle makes it very hard to pump. The PUR 35 manual one is
much easier according to people who have used one.
But for a 22' sailboat, an extra 20 gallons of water in 3-5 gallon
jugs won't be too much of an extra burden and a LOT cheaper! Of
course for hiking it won't be much good, but the 35 is pretty heavy to
carry too...
