I hope that you are aware the RO units operate under the "ue it or lose it"
theory. If you do not operate it every 5 days, you need to backflush
(without chorine in the water) and use a storage agent.

I have a large on on my boat and do not even keep the mebranes in it.
Maybe on a long cruise where I cannot get water I will crank it back up.

Seagold desalinaters is one such unit and there are at least 10 other

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.

Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Don
