No, requires a lot of effort for what you get, but better than dying of thirst. Are you intending to use one.  :question:

Coral Bay Caravan Park in WA runs reverse osmosis. They suck up water from a bore which is over a mile deep and need to run it thru the rev osmosis system before running it thru the parks water system. Give them a ring and they should be able to give you all the ins and outs of the system

Yes, I have used one before.  That is the way that warships get their fresh water.  Better quality than what you get in the town systems IMO.  But, and it is a big but, the Navy's system wasn't cheap to install, run or maintain.

It turned sea water into fresh water, depending on the ship I was on, made the difference between having a good supply or limited supply.  But this was more to do with storage of the water.  Oliver Hazard Perry Class FFGs could only store 25 tonnes of water, with a crew of around 220 (during peak operations), whereas the Anzac Class FFH could store 40 tonnes with a max crew of 180.  More storage, less people, less water stress.

We use one of these from Kmart which works a lot better than these reviews! 3 x replacement filters only cost $18 and they last 3 months each  :goodjob:
