1. Is the produced water safe to drink?
Yes. The seawater desalination system uses reverse osmosis (RO) technology, removing over 99% of salts and contaminants from seawater, producing potable water that meets international drinking water standards.
2. Is it suitable for homes, islands, or boats?
Yes. With its small capacity, compact design, and cost-efficient operation, it is ideal for villas, coastal homes, islands, and boats. Capacity can be customized, and the system can also be integrated with solar or battery power. Corrosion-resistant materials ensure reliable performance in marine environments.
3. Can it run on solar power?
Yes. The system supports flexible power options, including solar + battery backup configurations. It is suitable for sunny regions such as the Middle East, Africa, and tropical islands, ensuring continuous operation even at night or during cloudy conditions through energy storage support.
4. How difficult is the operation?
It is designed for simple operation with a plug-and-play setup. Only basic electrical connection, valve adjustment, and pressure setting are required. No professional training is needed. Operation guidance videos are provided, and setup can be completed in under 3 minutes.
5. What maintenance is required?
Maintenance is minimal. Regular tasks include membrane flushing, periodic replacement of filters and RO membranes, and routine inspection of pumps and seals. The system also supports simple on-site cleaning procedures, with instructional videos provided.
6. How long do membranes and consumables last? Are replacements easy to find?
Under normal conditions, RO membranes last around 3 years depending on feedwater quality and maintenance, while pre-filters typically last 0.5–1 month. Replacement consumables can be supplied with the system, and some spares may be included. Compatible standard parts are also widely available locally or online for easy replacement.
7. Can it handle very salty seawater?
Yes. The standard system is designed for feedwater with TDS up to 40,000 ppm, suitable for seawater, brackish water, and borehole water. Performance may vary depending on salinity and temperature. For higher salinity or heavily polluted water, a water analysis report is recommended for tailored solutions.
8. Is it suitable for long-term continuous use?
Yes. The unit is designed for stable long-term continuous operation, provided that proper operation and routine maintenance are followed to ensure consistent water quality and performance.
9. What is included in the system delivery?
The system is supplied as a fully integrated skid-mounted unit, including pre-filtration system, high-pressure pump, RO membrane housing, frame structure, and basic control system. It is pre-assembled and tested before shipment, with essential spare consumables such as filters included.
10. Can it be customized?
Yes. While 1.5 TPD is a standard model, customized solutions are available based on project requirements. Different capacities and configurations can be selected from the NE-SWRO series. We also support customization of components, brands, and system design to match specific application needs.
11. Can it operate reliably in areas with unstable power supply?
Yes. It is optimized for unstable power conditions such as islands, Africa, and the Middle East. The system includes voltage stabilization (±10% tolerance) and full protection features such as overload and overheat protection, ensuring safe automatic shutdown during abnormal conditions and long-term operational reliability.
12. Do you provide warranty and global shipping?
Yes. All units come with a 1-year warranty. We support worldwide shipping, including door-to-door delivery options depending on destination and project requirements.
