Good evening Craig - For our group of eight we thought the larger was a better back up. Much discussion about adapting a solar panel to power the pump to make water while we paddled during the day. We never got the the implementation stage. We were able to carry enough water to make it through the trip. I suspect there are folks out there in the PaddleWise universe that have rigged up something or have the background and skills to figure it out. Perhaps some one already has and will share with us on this site. john Craig Jungers <crjungers_at_gmail.com> wrote: West Marine sells the Katadyn Survivor 06 manual reverse osmosis desalinator for $800. Their catalog says it provides "enough water to keep a person hydrated in one hour". Maybe you can rig a system to pedal power it while you paddle. They do produce good water in my experience. It's the larger 12vdc models that cost $2k and up. I would certainly take one on any Sea of Cortez trip. --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
