We're cruising the Med and are looking for a reasonably priced secondhand watermaker. Needs to run off 12v with an output a few gallons per hour. Any ideas?
Thanks
Paul

Yep, try http://www.aquamarine.co.za for a new one - 12v, 24v, 220v, driven off your engine... basically any combo and output that you want. Tel +27 21 705 6521 and speak to Wade. (Usual disclaimer: I am a satified customer and would buy from these blokes again)

and then look at the time I made the post - yep, pissed.
If you want to email Wade, it isn't difficult to work out his email address.

Still waiting for pros on Schenker. I'm genuinely interested in one and know someone who has one, but I want to hear further testimonials.

Hi DB First of all, they are superbly built, the service from Mactra uk is incredible. they do what they say on the box.. the membraine is industry standard SW35-40 I think (Aint got the spec in front of me) available anywhere - around 100 squids..
Email Jim at Mactra for a list of users who you can contact.
You wont find a unit of the same quality with as low a power consumption. Hop on a cheap flight to La Coruna and you can take a look lol..
Serious, Give Jim a call.
