The 12VDC system is the Rainman watermaker that consumes the least power.
It’s a very simple and highly reliable system that can make up to 34 litres (9 gallons) of fresh potable water per hour.
Options exist for this system to be run completely portable without any plumbing or fully plumbed in with a minimum footprint installation.
Our 12VDC system is a great option if you don’t have AC power available to you but want to avoid the complexities and maintenance requirements of more efficient energy recovery systems.
