New Multi-Function Display Capabilities for Watermaker Monitoring & Operation

Blue Water Desalination’s Most Capable Watermaker Can Now Be Integrated Into Garmin & Raymarine Touchscreen Displays

Garmin & Raymarine

Water Desalination is excited to announce new capabilities for monitoring and controlling watermaker operations from the convenience of two of the world’s most popular digital helm systems.

Blue Water Desalination’s Legend series of fully automatic watermakers can now be monitored and controlled through both Garmin and Raymarine multi-function touchscreen displays. This integration is achieved by utilizing the Boening Chartplotter Gateway to control Legend watermakers through the Garmin OneHelm™ or Raymarine Lighthouse user interfaces.

Boening is a leader in the ship automation field providing electronic engineering and networking solutions that make commercial and recreational vessels safer, smarter and more connected.

Users of this new interface are able to remotely monitor and control their new Legend watermaker without a separate wired remote. Through the yacht’s multi-function OneHelm™ or Lighthouse capable displays, users can start and stop producing fresh water from the convenience of the helm station. The custom-designed interface also allows users to monitor the system status including pressures, flows, product water quality and system warnings and faults.

The use of multi-function displays eliminate the need for a separate wired remote to the watermaker, reducing installation costs, as well as saving precious real estate on the helm console. The feature will be available on all Legend units produced in 2025 and moving forward.

One of the company’s best-selling products, the Legend series is a fully automatic watermaker available in both compact and modular configurations capable of producing 475-1,850 gallons per day (1,800-7,000 liters per day).

“These new capabilities demonstrate our commitment to offering our customers the best watermaker systems that are easy to operate and maintain,” says Managing Director Jim Santa. Yacht owners and builders can expect further technology innovations to be rolled out to Blue Water Desalination products over the coming year.

Blue Water Desalination Introduces Voyager Series Watermakers

Voyager watermaker from Blue Water Desalination

Blue Water Desalination is excited to announce the launch of the new Voyager Series watermakers, designed to meet the needs of modern cruising yachts without the use of a generator or shore power. Designed from a blank slate for ease of use and maintenance, these watermakers are available in 12V, 24V, and 48V DC, making them perfect for yachts that rely solely on DC power while away from the dock.

The Voyager Series features fully automatic operation and a fresh water flush system, which simplifies operation and maintenance for owner/operators and charter fleet managers alike. Available in 400 GPD and 600 GPD capacities, the Voyager Series boasts a smooth and nearly silent dual piston energy recovery pump, delivering 16 to 25 gallons of pure water per hour. High rejection membranes and a product water carbon filter ensure reliable and high-quality water production.

This is not the first, or only, DC-powered product that Blue Water Desalination has offered, but is the first that has focused solely on catering to the needs of this segment of boat owners. The use of an Energy Recovery device results in a 40% to 50% reduction in amperage draw when compared to BWD’s traditional DC watermakers.

“We are pleased to introduce the Voyager Series, which combines all of our latest and greatest technology and high volume water production into a user-friendly package for smaller cruising boats,” said Jim Santa, Managing Director of Blue Water Desalination.

As with all of the company’s watermaker products, the Voyager is available in both compact and modular options, providing plenty of versatility for custom configurations and installation spaces.
