What Water System Do I Need?
Enjoying a cool drink on a hot summer’s day is one of the simple pleasures of life. There are many different options to choose from when upgrading your yachts drinking system. This guide aims to show the variety of systems available, help identify the ideal solution for your yacht, and introduce you to some of Octo Marine’s highest rated products.
Advanced Drinking Systems: The Core of Clean Water
The foundation of any effective marine hydration solution is a robust filtration system. These units employ multi-stage processes to remove various contaminants, ensuring the highest standard of drinking water. Octo Marine’s Slimline 5 Stage Drinking System showcases this, providing an efficient and environmentally friendly way to purify water on board. The 5 stages are:
- 5 Micron Pre-Filtration: Removes larger particles and sediments, ensuring clearer water from the start.
- Carbon Filter: Eliminates chlorine, odours, and improves taste by filtering out chemical impurities.
- Mineral Filter: Replenishes essential minerals, enhancing the water’s health benefits and taste.
- Bio Ceramic Far Infrared Filter: Energises water, promoting a more balanced pH and improved hydration.
- Ultra-Filtration Membrane: Ensures the finest contaminants are removed, leaving water pure and safe.
Best Use Onboard: Ideal for providing drinking water for crew and guests. This system excels in delivering high-quality water straight from the tap, eliminating the need for bottled water and reducing plastic waste.
Chilled and Sparkling Water Dispensers: Refreshment with a Twist
For those who appreciate variety in their water, chilled and sparkling water dispensers offer a great solution. Octo Marine’s RFU290 and M70 Soda systems are perfect for delivering a premium experience onboard.
- RFU290: Offers ambient, cold, and sparkling water options with an integrated ice bank, making it perfect for refreshing drinks anytime. The high cooling capacity makes it the perfect system for yachts and at just 24cm wide, this is the perfect solution where space is at a premium.
- M70 Soda: Designed for high-demand scenarios, it provides cold, cold sparkling, and room temperature water, ideal for entertaining a large number of guests or crew. This system can deliver 70l/h of chilled or chilled/sparkling water.
Best Use Onboard: The RFU290 is suited for smaller gatherings or family use, where space and efficiency are key. The M70 Soda is best for larger yachts with more crew and guests, offering a high volume of water options to keep everyone refreshed.
Instant Hot Water Dispensers: Convenience at Your Command
Instant hot water dispensers are invaluable for quickly preparing hot beverages or meals. Octo Marine’s K371 is a prime example of this convenience, capable of dispensing approximately 1.6L (or 10 cups) between reheats, and providing around 24L of hot water per hour at 96-98°C.
Best Use Onboard: Perfect for the galley or serving areas. The K371 is ideal for quick meal prep, hot drinks, or any scenario where instant hot water is needed. This greatly improves guest experiences, and makes life onboard for crew much easier.
Selecting the Best Drinking System for Your Yacht
Choosing the appropriate drinking system involves evaluating your expected water consumption against the space available on your yacht. Systems with higher capacities are suited for larger vessels and crews, whereas more compact models are ideal for smaller spaces.
Water Quality and Source Considerations
The quality of your water supply can vary significantly depending on your source. It’s crucial to select a system capable of providing consistent water quality, ensuring safe and pleasant drinking water throughout your journey.
Installation and Maintenance
Our experienced technicians ensure a smooth and professional installation and maintenance process, minimising disruption to your yachting experience. We offer easy-to-follow maintenance instructions and readily available replacement filters to ensure your water system operates at peak performance throughout your journeys.
Making Better Choices
Adopting an onboard water system is a powerful stride towards eco-friendly practices and sustainability, aligning with our #thinkoutsidethebottle campaign. This initiative not only reduces reliance on single-use plastics, safeguarding our oceans, but also emphasizes quality control through a Fresh Water Safety Plan. We offer advanced sterilisation, filtration, and water analysis services, complemented by customisable aluminium bottles for crew members.
Cost Savings: Refill, Not Replace
Adopting an onboard water system translates to substantial cost savings over time, moving away from the continual purchase of bottled water to a more sustainable, refillable solution.
Unmatched Convenience: Water on Tap
With fresh, filtered water available on tap, the inconvenience of storing, transporting, and disposing of bottled water is a thing of the past. An onboard system offers simple and immediate access to hydration. This makes a huge different for guest experiences, and even more for crew.
