Default Watermakers - what's best and cheapest for long term cruising use

You use 280 gallons a week or two? Wow. How many POB? I've got a 12
volt Spectra but that will be way to small for you. There was a
Canadian guy in New Zealand who was making engine driven very high
output watermakers using off the shelf parts. I watched a demo. Very
impressive. I think his brother took over the company and is selling
them from Canada (BC?)... Something along those lines might work as
direct drive off your genset...
