Only on trips to the Gulfo de California as a back up to our water bags. They run about $2000 US last i looked. Sounds like it might be a good idea to make sure you have you iPod loaded up with your favorite tunes or recorded books to listen to when doing the days pumping.

Or bring a reverse-osmosis lever-operated watermaker. I had one of these
aboard our cruising sailboat, Kibitka. It was electric-operated with a
manual backup. I forget how many strokes it took to make a glass of water
but you won't need to take any books along to fill up your spare time.

But seriously, has anyone taken one of these along on a trip?
