Watermaker Power Survivor PS40E

Many yachtsmen around the world can`t imagine to live on board any more without the watermaker. You don`t even have to resign on high quality water in southern areas, where otherwise only tap water, containing chlorine, is available.

That´s how it works: 
Seewater runs with pressure through a membrane.While this happens, all larger crystals, like salt are filtered. The water which is left is very clear drinking water, the amount of minerals is close to soda water.This process is called „reverse osmosis“. The technique, in this or a similar method, is used worldwide in hotels, on ships or for medical purposes.
To haul water through the membrane, a high pressure is needed. So reverse osmosis systems need lots of energy and they are very loud. PUR has developed a small pump wich recovers 50-90 percent of the used energy. It runs very quiet and slowly. That´s why it needs only 7,4 Watt per liter drinking water. The needed energy can be received with solar panels!

The Power Survivor can be used everywhere, where clean sea water is available: North sea, Baltic sea, atlantic ocean, pacific ocean,etc. You just need a 60 Ah/12 Volt battery in your yacht. The Power Survivor can be connected to the sea valves. Matching adapters are included in delivery.

The Prefilters should be controlled weekly (visually). When the system is not operated for a longer period, the membrane has to be preserved. This can be done in 10 minutes.Every 1000-1200 operating hours the pump washers have to be exchanged. In an inquiry of sailors in carribean waters, the watermaker was their first choice!

Power Survivor PS40E
The Power Survivor 40E is the smallest and mostly sold, electric PUR watermaker. The PS40E is delivered with a hand lever, which can be mounted in an emergency and is independent from power: e.g. when the power is cut off or when you are in a distress. It is the follower of the PS35.

PS40E Included in delivery
Watermaker, english manual, prefilter with Niro-bracket, 2 Service valves, tubes and fittings, spare prefilter cartridge, conserver 

Prefilter kit
In waters with a large amount of suspended particles, e.g. shallow bays, an additional prefilter is recommended. This prefilter (5mic)is finer than the standard prefilter (30mic) and is mounted behind it. Additionally, a feedwater pump (12 V/0,8 A/h)is delivered. This pump compensates the loss from the second profilter and increases the water production. We recommend the prefilter kit, even if the water maker is not installed below the water line. Especially if it is continuously used, to increase the maintenance intervals.

Maintenance kit
The maintenance kit contains multiple spare prefilters, membrane preservatives and -cleaner, as well as all washers. A maintenance is recommended every 1000 - 1200 operating hours.

Handheld watermaker for the life raft
Many years ago PUR started with the development of manual desalinators. At that time, small reverse-osmosis systems were developed by order of the US-Navy, so that mariners and marine aviators can be provided with drinking water in an emergency.That´s the origin of the Survivor.
