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

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.
