Watermakers
Rick, I have a Spectra Newport 400. It makes 17.5 gals an hr. I run it up to 2 hrs a day when I want water which gives me 35 gals. less the back flush of about 3 gals., so I net 30 gals. +/- a day. This allows me opt splurge on water & even wash the boat.It uses 12 volt power so I have the option to use 12 volt battery power or 110 from the generator or alternator when motoring the boat. I could also use shore power, but you do not want to make water in an oil rich environment like a harbor.The Newport 400 comes with a remote control unit & will back flush itself every 5 days so you do not need to "pickle" the unit when not using it. It is also possible to mount it as a "package" on by "components".I bought the unit, installed it myself & had the dealer start it up to activate the warranty & determine that I installed it correctly. We don't use it a lot, but are happy with it.Good Luck, Gordon Myers, s/v Utopia III, a h450
