Thanks for this, Bryan. I don't have a watermaker and planned to ask
here if anyone had ideas about about a reasonably priced system that I
could store with my liferaft. This might be the answer. But wonder why
they don't have much information on their website. Maybe it's
new/untested.
Would appreciate it if anyone else had suggestions about cost-concious
emergency water alternatives.
cheers, Jim

A newspaper article about water filtration systems being used by our troops
led me to their site.
<http://www.hydrationtech.com/ >. They claim to be able to make drinkable
water from pretty nasty sources. The FAQ on their site refers to a
"Seapack" which is used to make ocean water drinkable. The Seapack appears
to be ideally suited for an abandon ship kit. While it's not described on
the website, I've received an answer to my inquiry, which I'll quote:
Our Seapack is essentially our X-Pack using a different syrup. It works
with seawater, and delivers a liquid that is very similar to grapejuice.
The drink has a high sugar content, and is intended to sip slowly in order
to hydrate, as opposed to drinking quickly. It is a passive system, thus
requires no pumping, etc. to operate.
Our price to government agencies is $55.45, while our retail price is
$64.00.
