The watermaker experiment
Compagnie Hydrotechnique has been distributing and designing watermakers for boats for many years. Thanks to a wide range, the equipment manufacturer adapts to all types of navigation and all budgets.
Katadyn, for small boats and offshore racing
The Compagnie Hydrotechnique range starts with watermakers of the Swiss brand Katadyn with a capacity of 1 L/h and 5.6 L/h. Compact and lightweight, they appeal to owners and builders of small boats, as well as to offshore racing skippers. "Some of them have several circumnavigations in their wake and there is not much to do other than conventional maintenance," says Bénédicte Taillefer. These units consume little energy and are available at an affordable price, from 800 to 3000 euros.
Sea Recovery, for long distance cruising and comfort
Distributed by the Compagnie Hydrotechnique for over 30 years, the American Sea Recovery watermakers produce between 90 L/h to 280 L/h of fresh water. Very present from the first installation on multihulls and sailing boats, they offer all the modern technologies, with a great automation for an easy use. They benefit from the support network of the American group Parker, owner of the brand.
Unitam, the simple and efficient watermaker
Complexity and electronics can be frightening for a crucial piece of equipment like a watermaker. For more simplicity and rusticity, the Compagnie Hydrotechnique has developed its own range under the name Unitam. Without electronics, assembled from parts marketed worldwide, they guarantee reliability and reasonable price. The production capacity of fresh water varies from 30 L/h to 280 L/h.
Easy to install
All watermakers are available in a compact version on a frame or in a modular version. They can thus be integrated in the best way in the available spaces on board the boat.
Network and service
All the watermakers in the catalog are available within 15 days from the Compagnie Hydrotechnique. The company has a network of agents, trained by it, all along the French coast. The company provides installation and after-sales service for its products, but also for competing brands. It also markets the necessary consumables, filters and spare parts, throughout the life of the products.
