It’s important to note that the energy needed for RO to work is due to the high pressures needed to ram that little H2O molecule through that virgin nanohole. 700-900wh for a trickle of 14gal/h. At least that what I’m getting on my sailboat.



That's quite inefficient if you're using a Clark pump. I'm currently spending about 1000W to making ~40G/h with a Schenker Zen150.


Blame SeaWaterPro for the underpowered HPP.
