The yachting industry has always been an accelerator for cutting edge technology. Contrary to domestic circumstances where raw water quality is of a more or less consistent quality, extra care has to be taken when the source is a tank. Reverse Osmosis treated seawater (coming from a watermaker) as one source, commonly found on medium sized and large yachts is of superior quality than potable water, yet a variety of minerals, essential to a healthy ph level (alkaline, above 7 ph) and pleasant taste is lost in the process.
Once in the tank, the water is subject to further possible contamination. Temperatures around 25°C provide ideal conditions for divers pathogens (bacteria, viruses, cysts). Further older tanks potentially leak heavy metals into the water, either from non food-grade coatings or its raw material itself.
The water quality provided from mains (tap) connections in port strongly depend on the yachts’ cruising area. Although the mains water will comply in most countries with national potable quality standards it must not be considered safe, healthy and tasty. Besides questionable levels of organic and inorganic matter these sources contain pharmaceutical residues, micro plastics and disinfection by products, causing serious long term heath risks.
Correct treatment:
It is crucial for a longterm trustworthy complete solution providing the correct quality with reasonable maintenance efforts and minimal costs on consumables, to have water purification solutions downstream the watertanks as close as possible to the drinking water outlet(s) and to have the following treatment stages, pre-filtration, purification and postfiltration/remineralizing, that are in deep explained further on this page Filtration/purification levels and stages
The WwW Compact Power product range consists of high quality equipment (filtration and purification on the highest level to remove all bacteria, viruses, antibiotics, pesticides, metals, micro plastics, disinfection by products and adding minerals to guarantee superior alkaline/mineralized drinking water) and provides healthy drinking water by direct flow (no storage/expansion tanks).
We deliver all systems with an external prefilter, a remineralization/alkaline cartridge and a drinking water faucet (tap or dispenser as can be seen further on this page) and plumbing materials. Installation can be done by WwW, our installation partner Jongkind Service Palma or the yachts’ engineer.
