1. How much fresh water does the system produce per day?
A single containerized system produces 20 to 300 cubic meters of fresh water daily, depending on your configuration. This is enough to supply 100 to 5,000+ residents based on 100 litres per person per day for drinking, cooking, and basic hygiene. If your community grows, we can add more containers in parallel — no need to replace the entire system.
2. How long does it take to install the system on our island?
From truck arrival to clean drinking water for the community takes less than 48 hours. Because the system is factory pre-assembled and fully tested, on-site work is minimal — just position the container on level ground and connect three points: seawater intake, power, and water outlet. No construction, no delays.
3. Can the system run without a stable grid connection?
Yes. The system is solar-ready and can operate with solar panels, battery storage, or a diesel generator. This is especially valuable for remote islands where grid power is unreliable or fuel is expensive to transport. We help you choose the most affordable and reliable power option for your community.
4. Is the water safe to drink?
Absolutely. The system produces water that meets WHO drinking water standards (TDS ≤ 500 mg/L). The water is clear, clean, and safe for drinking, cooking, and basic hygiene. For communities with additional preferences, we can adjust the mineral content to improve taste.
5. Do we need a specialist to operate the system?
No. The system is fully automatic with an easy-to-use touchscreen control panel. One or two community members can be trained in 2–3 days to operate and maintain the system. All routine tasks are simple — checking filters, monitoring readings, and performing basic cleaning. We provide operation manuals and remote support if needed.
6. What maintenance is required? How often?
Routine maintenance is simple and infrequent:
Pre-filters: Check and replace every 1–3 months (depending on water quality)
RO membranes: Replace every 3–5 years
Pumps and valves: Inspect annually
We provide a starter spare parts kit with every system, covering all critical consumables. All parts are standard and easy to replace with basic hand tools.
7. How long does the system last?
The system is designed for a service life of 15–20 years with proper maintenance. The container itself is built to ISO shipping standards with anti-corrosion treatment, making it fully suitable for harsh island environments — salt air, heat, and humidity.
8. Is the system affordable for a small island community?
Yes. Our China-factory direct pricing makes desalination accessible for communities that previously could not afford it. Compared to European suppliers, we deliver equivalent quality at 30%–40% lower equipment cost. Plus, by using solar power, daily operating costs are very low — no expensive fuel shipments, no ongoing water truck deliveries.
9. What if our island doesn’t have road access for delivery?
The system is delivered in a standard ISO shipping container, which can be offloaded at any port with basic crane equipment. From there, it can be transported by barge, landing craft, or flatbed truck depending on your island’s access. We coordinate logistics to match your specific site conditions.
10. How do we get started with a system for our community?
Simply fill out the inquiry form below with basic information — your island location, approximate population, current water source, and power availability. Our community water team will respond within 24 hours with a free, no-obligation preliminary proposal and capacity recommendation.
