How would that work when tied up ( liveaboard) ? Will
current alone produce water?

I'm wondering how many sailors here use a "fresh water
maker" and what their experience has been like. No matter
what boat I buy I will have some type of shower, even if I
have to run a line and shower in the cockpit. It would be
nice to have a 2 week supply of fresh water but I don't
think 20 gallons or so will do it (split 2 or 3 ways). I
don't mind stinking, but I do like to wash the salt off at
night.

My next boat will be a transitional boat in the sense
that I'd like to someday live-aboard, and this is a step in
that direction. I'd use this boat for longer cruises than my
smaller Starwind, and I plan to research and develop my own
vision of the ideal equipment. Wind and solar gennys and
solar hot water are a given, but what about fresh water?

This one looks interesting. I liked the idea of 30kV to
eliminate biological stowaways.

Most likely at a slow drip rate, but most people who live aboard have
access to potable water, unless they are living on the hook, and still
they can row out water in a dink. Just looks like a great crusing item,
no thru hulls, only 2 grand. Most water makers would clog up at most
anchorages anyway.

Right you are, Joe, I wasn't thinking.

BTW, thatlooks like a great product. Hope it lasts.
