Letter From David in Israel Re: Blue Water Sailing as a Retreat Option?
James:
Anyone near any body of salt water should consider purchasing something
like the Navy/Coast Guard [approved] Manual Reverse Osmosis Desalinator
(MROD) They are sold on eBay and as far as I know are only made
by PUR.
They can provide drinkable water at sea for one to two people with
quite a bit of work but PUR also makes a larger bicycle pump
model. I have tested mine in both
the Med (not as salty as ocean) and the Salt Sea (the saltiest water
in the world). More salt just means more work.
A creative person might make a desalinator from a home reverse osmosis
filter system but I would highly suggest having at least one PUR hand
unit
as a backup.
The U.S. Navy/Coast Guard issue MROD-06-LS includes a great add-on
thigh strap and lever extensions not on the civilian models. - David
