Katadyn Survivor manual watermakers
Technical details
Producer: Katadyn Products Inc. (CH)

Katadyn's manual watermakers are intended for both emergency use and applications where electrical power simply isn't available. No survival kit or liferaft should be without a Katadyn Survivor hand-held watermaker. Compact, lightweight, and easy to operate, these units will supply emergency drinking water to help prevent dehydration or even loss of life. 

Reverse Osmosis
To remove dissolved salts from seawater with reverse osmosis, part of the salt water is filtered through a semipermeable membrane. Only 10% of the water passes through the membrane. The remaining 90% flow past the membrane and at the same time cleans the membrane (self-cleaning effect). The small size of the “membrane pores“ ensures extremely pure drinking water, but extremely high pressures must be generated - normally 55 bar.

Reverse osmosis is used worldwide to obtain drinking water, e.g. in the semi-conductor industry and in medicine.
