Although the Rainman watermaker was originally designed as a portable system not requiring installation, many of our customers choose to partially or fully install the system in their boat. A wide variety of Rainman options exist for installing your system or keeping it portable.
Portable Benefits:
- The system can be operated without an installation process. Ten minutes after receiving the system, you can be making fresh drinking water.
- If you are a cruiser and a racer, you can easily offload about 2/3 of a crew member weight by putting the watermaker ashore.
- No extra holes in your hull.
- If you are space-constrained, you can remove the system to fit more people or gear for short trips.
- If maintenance is required, you bring the system to a technician rather than bringing a technician to your boat.
- When you upgrade your boat, you take the system with you. Installing a system in your boat will not add significant value to your boat.
- You can loan it to a friend.
- Reduced cost due to avoiding expensive and invasive installation process.
- You can fill your neighbour’s tanks with the product water extension hose.
- Moving the system around is easy if you have an RV, live near water, or have another boat.
- You can easily resell the system if you are no longer getting use out of it.
Installed Benefits:
- You can operate the system without the need to pull it out on deck.
- No hoses thrown over the side of your boat while the system is in use.
- Less concern of hoses getting kicked out of place while in use.
- Easier to use while underway.
