Rainman Desalination

🌊 Fresh water, anywhere. No worries.

Our friends at Soluna Yacht Group just wrapped up a Rainman Fully Automated Watermaker installation aboard a stunning Leopard 47 catamaran in the USVI — and we’re very happy with the installation.

In this short video, hear directly from Peter why they chose the Rainman Modular automated setup for this client: Bluetooth app control, a remote micropanel at the nav station, automatic tank shutoff, and a system that manages itself so the crew can have reliable fresh water from a trusted system.

When you're anchored in a remote bay with no marina in sight, having reliable, high-quality fresh water on tap is everything. This is how it's done.

Buy it portable. Install it later. Or never. That flexibility is one of the things that makes the Rainman portable so popular.

You can add a manual control panel, go fully automated — or keep it dead simple. There's no wrong answer.

Franklin on his Gemini 105Mc went the minimalist semi-install route, and it came out really well. Full case study below.

Very cool video of crossing the Tasman in a Seawind 1170, from our friends at Multihull Central. We set the link here starting at the section covering their Rainman manual controlled watermaker, but it’s definitely worth going to the start and watching the whole video.

Not everyone gets to test a boat like we do. We put the 39ft Seawind 1170 through its paces crossing the Tasman Sea, documenting a 9-day sailing adventure on...

We're pleased to announce the launch of our AI-powered support tool, now live on our website at www.rainmandesal.com.

Our goal has always been to provide prompt, reliable support and this is the next step in that commitment. The AI is trained exclusively from our own documentation, meaning the information you receive comes directly from Rainman, not from third-party forums or external sources.

You can expect immediate responses to many common enquiries, with human contact always available. We have no intention or desire to avoid human interaction. You'll find the tool as a floating button in the bottom right corner of our website, easy to find and easy to use.

We're notified of every interaction and personally review and refine responses where needed. We're happy with how it's performing, though like any new tool, some responses are still being refined. It will only get better over time.

Give it a try and let us know what you think. As always, if you'd prefer to speak with us directly, that option is right there too.

Sometimes the needle valve controlling pressure on your Rainman RO unit or control panel can feel a little stiff, tricky to turn, or may even show a small leak around the stem.

While this is a rare issue, the fix is usually fairly simple.

To make things easier, we’ve put together a short HOW TO video that walks you through the steps to get your valve working smoothly again. In many situations, this guide can help improve performance and may resolve the issue.
