Thanks for the primer. I didn't know you needed 20% of the production
to effectively flush the salt water afterwards.

Well, 20 minutes worth of running for the Pur 40E, 1-1/2 Gal per hour,
or 1.5 Amp hours. I don't find that bad for what you get. :-)

Neither do I, and I don't begrudge the "maintainence cycle". I was

Like having an electric windlass, it simply becomes part of the power
requirement, particularly if one anticipates making one's own power
and running an electric motor.
