Rainman VDC Electric Watermaker

$4,670.00 – $4,745.00

Rainman’s VDC electric system consumes the least power of all their watermakers. This simple, yet highly reliable watermaker, is available in 2 options: 12VDC-34 (26-34 lpg) and 24VDC-55 (45-55 lph).

Please note, we currently only stock the 12VDC-34 option. Click here to enquire about the 24VDC-55 system.

The pricing of the 2 options are identical, but the output and power system differs, so your specific requirements control which option is best suited for your application.

The VDC system is a great option if you don’t have AC power available to you but want to avoid the complexities and maintenance requirements of more efficient energy recovery systems. With recent advancements in batteries, solar, and wind power, it is easier than ever to have sufficient usable amp-hours available for running your appliances.

Options exist for this system to be run completely portable without any plumbing or fully plumbed in with a minimum footprint installation.

INSTALLED OR PORTABLE WATERMAKER: Our traditional system in the blue case can be used as either portable or installed. If you wish to install it, it becomes a two box installation. Various approaches that can be utilized include:

  • Keep it portable, pulling it out and setting it up each time you wish to use it.
  • Leave the unit in a locker, but pull out the hoses and throw overboard to make water, avoiding the need to move the system around on your deck.
  • Keep the system portable, but use a cam-lock fitting to temporarily plumb the system into a teed deck wash fitting. This gives the benefits of an installed system while using your portable unit while underway.
  • Fully plumb the system in, including the autoflush system.

It is worth noting that due to the lower output and shorter power cord of our VDC system, most customers with this system will choose to fully install the watermaker.
