Spectra Watermakers announces remote manual controlled watermakers

Spectra Watermakers, producers of energy-efficient desalination systems, has announced the launch of a new line of controllers for its Ventura 150, Ventura 200 and Catalina 340 remote manual watermakers.

Featuring a simplified remote manual controller, the new devices can be easily mounted in convenient locations and offer basic control of the watermaker without the automation and diagnostics offered by the more advanced Spectra Connect controller. According to Spectra, this makes the system a competitively priced option for those who want the quality and water production without full automation, but with the added convenience of easy three-button remote operation.

“Spectra watermakers are relied on by customers operating in some of the most demanding and extreme conditions on the planet,” says Chris Voxland, general manager, Spectra Watermakers. “Our new remote manual controllers add exceptional versatility and value to an already incredible product line. The affordability and efficiency of these products are also perfectly suited for solar powered and all-electric yachts – an area where we are seeing tremendous growth.”

“Energy efficiency and reliability were the main factors when we selected a Spectra watermaker as standard equipment on the new Xquisite 60 Solar Sail Catamaran,” explains Clinton Johns, owner, Phoenix Catamarans. “Spectra systems are already used in our X5 cats with great success. Spectra gives solar catamaran owners even more independence without negative environmental impacts, and the lower energy required means they can cruise even further without any water concerns.”

The addition of the Ventura 150, Ventura 200 and Catalina 340 makes Spectra’s watermakers available to customers in three different levels of control: fully automated (with Spectra Connect), completely manual, and remote manual.
