The best water maker for us | Spectra Ventura 200

After more than a year of research we now have a water maker on board Fair Isle. It was the biggest omission in our initial refit five years ago in Holland, but in a way we're glad we took the time to find the right model.
If I had fitted one when we first bought Fair isle I might have gone for an AC unit, which would have been a big mistake, and I really had no idea about the huge range in quality with water makers.
There are a few things in life where you get what you pay for and I believe water-makers are a prime example of that. It would be very tempting to go for a cheaper model than the top brands, but from the research I've done it seems the reason water-makers get a bad press is that there are many inferior models out there which just aren't fit for purpose.
We have yet to test this model long term of course so it will be interesting to see if we feel the same way going forward, but so far so good, we are very happy with our Spectra.

Personally I think the Ventura is perfect for a cruising boat, but there are other models of your needs are different, just go for a DC model not an AC one! (solar panels and lithium batteries are the future!)
