Nobody wants to drink contaminated water and people think fresh water storage tanks are unsanitary. We've met people that live in RVs, Motorhomes, Vans, Tiny House, Off Grid Cabins, power boats and sailboats that simply won't use the water in their tanks for drinking. Instead they chose to go to the store and load up on gallons and gallons of plastic water bottles and jugs. We think that is absolutely crazy, but we also understand they don't want to get sick from drinking water.

Today we’re sharing how we store fresh water aboard our sailing catamaran CURIOSITY, and how we turn that into water that's better than bottled...but most importantly it's water that's PURE and SAFE to drink straight out of the tap. These are tips from our Life on a Boat (and our 7 years of RV travel before that).

If you want to skip to the specifics, here’s what we cover in the video:

00:36 A Marina is the most obvious place to get fresh, potable and safe water on a boat, but…
00:58 There are 3 main ways besides a marina where sailors can get fresh water onto their boat.
01:07 How to collect Rain Water on a sailboat (how we do it).
01:38 Reverse Osmosis (RO) Watermaker.
02:45 Our 120v RO watermaker makes 40 gallons of PURE and SAFE drinking water per hour.
04:06 Discount (or Free Stuff) code it your purchase a Cruise RO Watermaker. Use Discount Code WYNNS when you purchase your watermaker.
5:05 Public water source from land.
06:17 Is a public water source safe to drink or put into the fresh water storage tanks on a boat?
07:17 How much does purified drinking water cost in Tahiti, French Polynesia?
07:27 How much water does the average human need to drink in a day?
07:55 The conclusion. How we get water onto our catamaran. And what we think is the best way to get pure drinking water on any boat.
08:24 Next video we’ll cover how we store freshwater on our boat along with how we filter and purify it to make it safe to drink.
There are a ton of ways sailors get drinking water on their boats, and some will drink the 'dock water' or 'rain water' without purifying or filtering it. We say it's risky, but that's totally cool if they want to use whatever water source as their fresh water. Remember, everything in this video is solely our opinions based on our research and experience of living off the grid for the past 9+ years.

Even though the company ACUVA has offered up a discount code to our viewers, and hooked us up with this test unit, this is NOT a sponsored video. We chose to create this video because we get the questions all the time: How do you get pure and safe drinking water on your sailboat? or Do you only drink bottled water? or Do you really drink the water out of your storage tanks?

So, if you want to filter and purify your drinking water, a system like ours is ideal for off grid living.

Should you chose to buy an ACUVA UV Water purification system, make sure you enter the discount code WYNNS at checkout to get $100 off any model. If it's gear you plan to buy anyway, you get a discount and it helps us buy more filters (we get a small bonus if you purchase). Here’s the website https://acuvatech.com/
