FACTS
• Device for greatest convenience with unbeatable advantages (see benefits)
• Thanks to its high performance of almost 26 litres/hour, the 160E is also suitable for large boats and
charters
• Compact and highly durable product which has been put to the test by, e.g., ocean sailors
• Available as 12V or 24V unit
• Makes boat owners independent of water stations on the coast
• Covers entire daily water requirement (drinking, showering, cleaning etc) of 12 people. By the way:
contrary to popular opinion, the water requirement is much less on board than on land
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS > BENEFITS

water requirement of 12 people
• High energy efficiency > low current consumption
• Not an oversized large system > fewer water standstill times, lower risk of germs
reforming + higher useful life of membrane than with large systems
• High running smoothness > does not disturb the idyll of being at sea
• Supply of drinking water independent of location > saves water reserves and
costs with a better water quality
• Very userfriendly design > simple to install, operate and maintain
• Does not require additional pump and no reverse cleaning systems

FACT SHEET
REVERSE OSMOSIS
To remove dissolved salts from seawater with reverse osmosis, part of the salt water is filtered through a semipermeable mem
brane. Only 10% of the water passes through the membrane. The remaining 90% flow past the membrane and at the same
time cleans the membrane (selfcleaning effect). The small size of the "membrane pores" ensures extremely pure drinking wa
ter, but extremely high pressures must be generated normally 55 bar.
Reverse osmosis is used worldwide to obtain drinking water, e.g. in the semiconductor industry and in medicine.
KATADYN'S PATENTED ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM
The Katadyn Energy Recovery system takes advantage of stored energy in the high pressure reject water that is typically wa
sted. The pressurized reject water is recirculated to the back side of the piston to aid the next stroke. This energy is kept in the
system, resulting in less work to achieve fresh water.
CONDITIONS OF OPERATION
Battery with at least 60Ah/12 V. The PowerSurvivor can be connected to existing sea valves. Appropriate adapters are
supplied.
OPTIONS FOR POWERSURVIVOR
Silt Reduction Kit
For waters with high levels of suspended matter, e.g. in shallow anchorage, we would recommend you use an additional pre
filter. This additional filter is finer (5 microns 1 micron = 0.001 mm) than the standard filter (30 microns) and is placed after
it. A booster water pump (12V/0.8 A/h) is also provided. This pump compensates for the loss through the second filter and in
creases water production. We would also recommend the prefilter kit when the PowerSurvivor is not installed under the water
line and when it is in constant use to increase the intervals between servicing.
