Have thought of doing this myself it's good idea. Did you make another hole in the hull or tap in to the toilet flushing water pipe?

only a T (1 inch ) on the toilet water pipe. Max 3 hours of work. I want to cross atlantic ocean the next year between marseille and martinique and the fresh water is a problem.

Hi
just an idea which is following me the last weeks. Building your own watermaker. There is a website, unfortunatelly only in German, describing and providing the parts needed for it. The topic is to use instead of the very expensive high preasure pump a very common high pressure cleaner unit ( Kärcher K2 ~50 € instead of 1500€) which is easy to replace if dead. you just need 220V on bord maybe by a small generator.
check for  "jimdo watermaker" , complete system between 1000 and 2000€

regards
Ulrich

There is a cruiser wintering in Marina di Ragusa with us who has built one of these watermaker units using a Karcher pump to supply the HP water flow and he has run it to make fresh water for the last few summers and it apparently has worked well.
