Do you use the Watermaker much, and aren’t they difficult to maintain?
Firstly we use it a lot as we like to spend time on anchorages rather than Marinas. A secondary benefit is you never have to buy bottled water (a big expense in the Med’). I reckon I have re-couped the cost over five years just with this use alone. Secondly, you are right, some Watermakers are very complicated and difficult to maintain. This one is easy. It is a very simple French Dessalator system. It flushes itself automatically each time after use, and winterising it (the usual bugbear with most systems) takes ten minutes! I wouldn’t be without it, especially with a hungry washing machine (another essential according to Helen).
