What's Hot at the Moment? Purify Dock Water with the PuRO System
As vessels evolve into floating luxury holiday homes for charter seasons and family getaways across Australia, onboard water quality and freshwater capacity have become increasingly important considerations. Access to dock water for filling onboard tanks is essential, but the quality of marina and coastal water supplies around Australia can vary significantly from port to port. Sediment, chlorine, fluoride, microplastics, and even PFAS / PFOS “forever chemicals” commonly found in municipal water supplies can contaminate onboard tanks, affecting both the taste and odour of water used on your vessel.
