Why is desalination so difficult?
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.
