This manual watermaker does indeed look promising. Compact, design, not very bulky, it is equipped with a folding plate to lock it under the foot and an extendable handle that allows to reach the pressure necessary for the reverse osmosis process (55 to 60 bars all the same). In practice, the seawater first goes through a triple filtration before reaching the semi-permeable membrane that ensures the reverse osmosis process.
Portable and available during the launch phase at 53 euros, this emergency desanilizer can easily find its place on a boat, or even in a survival bag.
The promise?
QuenchSea's promise is 2 litres of water per hour, up to 3 in ideal conditions; and a membrane - designed to produce 500 litres of water - that can be replaced for less than 10 euros. In terms of salinity, the tests presented made it possible to eliminate 98% of the salt in the water and to reach the World Health Organization's standards in this area without any problem.
The desalinator was tested by the German organization TÜV Nord and the documents and videos presented on the INDIEGOGO page seemed convincing enough. Moreover, after less than a week of campaigning, there were 860 "backers" supporting the project, which represents three times the budget targeted by the operation.
A gesture for the inhabitants of planet Earth?
QuenchSea is committed to donating one watermaker for each watermaker purchased. In this way, the company hopes to participate in the fight for access to drinking water, which affects 2 billion people and accounts for 7 million deaths a year. One more good gesture for the planet..
