What you get
Every Vectech watermaker comes with everything you need to make fresh water. We take pride in offering the highest-quality parts at a fraction of the cost of other watermakers on the market. It’s a simple system designed for DIY installation, and it can be serviced anywhere in the world with off-the-shelf parts. Once you own a Vectech watermaker, you can buy spare and replacement parts from us at wholesale prices for life.
Please note: A sea strainer isn’t included. The boost pump is submersible, so you can drop it overboard while the boat is stationary or plumb it into your existing strainer. Every watermaker ships with the membranes pre-installed in their housings, and a control panel comes mounted on the membrane housing by default. An optional remote control panel and a 3-way diverter valve are also available.
