I am departing offshore next April and I would like to include in my grab
bag a hand operated reverse osmosis water filter like the military use. I
have searched the net and can find heaps of places that sell electric or gas
powered ones, I can find articles about how good the hand operated ones are
but I can't find anyone who sells them.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.



regards

They have them in the safety section. You could just search the web as well
and maybe find one cheaper. Katydyn makes them as do others.

I thought all the cataloges sold PUR 06's.

btw, Katydyn makes filters, not reverse osmosis filters. Filter take some or a
lot of junk (depends on the filter) from the water, reverse osmosis units take
the salt and other disolved minerals out.

Brent, PUR makes one. Although I don't know any specific source, I
presume you can find it at SailNet.

You presumably mean water maker, not water purifier?
If so, the device you want is the PUR, as another has said, but the company
has renamed itself, and is called Katadyne or something like that. Their
smallest model can be motor or hand powered.
