Independent water for private properties.
If there is one thing aspired by private property owners and architects it is a reliable and clean water supply. Water is an essential part for living a life in abundance and important for private islands. However, in remote locations, grid prices are often too high to enjoy abundant water and conventional desalination is expensive and a nightmare to maintain. But it also creates many sustainability issues.
But what if the water supply could become good for your wallet and for the environment? By using our solar desalination solutions, you can enjoy abundant, clean and guilt-free water on-site while cutting your electricity and water expenses.

A private island enjoying guilt-free water thanks to an efficient watermaker.
The problem: no fresh water available at acceptable expenses
The private island has a water demand of 9 m³/day due to landscaping and private use. The rain is not reliable and sufficient enough, leaving no alternative for desalination. Two options are available, which first appears to be an easy decision as the standard reverse osmosis solution is about 30% cheaper in the purchase price.
The solution: efficient RO unit
Fortunately, the energy efficiency is considered before making a decision. By choosing the 3x more efficient water maker offered by Elemental Water Makers, water savings of 55% are realised, equal to 112.000 $. Despite the 30% higher purchase price the payback is still less than 1 year, as energy generation on the island is expensive with 0.3 $/kWh.
The benefits: savings, stress-free operation & independence
The compact desalination solution allows the private island owner to enjoy high-quality water on-site, with stress-free operation & remote monitoring, whilst still saving 18 ton CO2 per year. This is a solution for future generations.
