The water-maker for yachts produces fresh water by removing salt from seawater. Because of reduced space, it is smaller than a desalination unit for a ship. NauticExpo offers yacht water-makers of various types: reverse osmosis, evaporation, distillation, etc.
The water-maker is used to produce fresh water for on-board consumption.
Each type of water-maker uses different technology to produce fresh water.
Choice will depend primarily on the capacity, the size and the energy consumption of the unit.
