At Octo Marine, we are proud to celebrate an incredible milestone for our #ThinkOutsideTheBottle campaign – saving an estimated 4 million plastic water bottles every year.
For years, we’ve encouraged yachts to install our Slimline Drinking Water Filtration System on board. This solution not only delivers quality water on tap, but also saves time, reduces costs, and helps eliminate the need for single-use plastic bottles.
Why Choose the Slimline 5 Stage Drinking Water Filtration System?
The Slimline 5 Stage System is certified by the Water Revolution Foundation as a proven verified sustainable solution. Its extensive life cycle assessment showed that it is up to 97% more efficient at saving plastic bottles and reducing environmental impact compared to bottled water.

Key Benefits:
-
Cost Savings: Yachts can save an average of €1,000 per crew member per year compared to bottled water costs. Add in the time, effort, and logistics of storing and disposing of bottles, and the choice becomes even clearer.
-
Enhanced Water Quality: Improved taste, better potability, and balanced mineral content.
-
Sustainability: Significant reduction in single-use plastics onboard.
The 5 Stages of Filtration
The Slimline Drinking Water Filtration System delivers pure, great-tasting water through five advanced treatment stages:
5 Micron Particle Filter – Removes sediment from the freshwater system.
GAC Carbon Filter – Improves taste and eliminates odours.
Triple Stage Remineralising Filter – Adds essential minerals and balances water composition.
Bio Ceramic Far Infra-Red Cartridge – Conditions water for faster absorption and hydration.
Ultra Filtration Membrane (0.03 micron) – Removes ultra-fine impurities, bacteria, and cysts.
The Impact – 4 Million Bottles Saved
We have taken a conservative approach in calculating our plastic bottle savings, basing the numbers on Slimline 5 Stage Systems sold since 2021. Despite hundreds of earlier systems still in operation, these were not included in the estimate.
Calculation method:
-
Systems sold × average crew consumption × daily users = 4 million bottles saved every year
And the numbers keep growing.
Going Further – Chilled & Sparkling Water Onboard
Our surveys show that crew members drink more water daily when a chiller sparkling system is installed alongside the Slimline 5 Stage Drinking Water Filtration System. Better hydration, better health, and even fewer bottles wasted.
