Beach House On-shore Desalination / Land Based Systems

 




The Beach House Series BHL has been especially designed for small Hotels, Marinas and Waterfront Homes with access to salt or brackish water.

The high power efficiency, ultimate reliability and low maintenance cost of these desalination systems makes high quality fresh water in most cases more economical than municipal water where available.

The newly engineered marine aluminum frame provides a tidy appearance while allowing easy access to the systems components for maintenance. The modular bulkhead mount systems or the self-contained vertical framed systems with a footprint of only 27.5”x 18” are space saving and easy to install.

For freshwater capacities of up to 3,600 GPD or 13,600 Liters/day, the installation of two redundant operative BHL desalination units (dual) is the preferred choice.
More economical than a single large system, it provides back up and eases transport and installation. In times of low water demand only the unit needed is operated.

"I have used the system for more than four years for between 10 and 24 hrs per day to supply water for normal household and building needs and finally a 15000sq. ft. garden maintenance with lawns, fruit trees and vegetable garden. My average fresh water production is 700 gallons per day, for a total of over 1 million gallons to date. The system has been very reliable. Careful attention to the regular oil change for the high pressure pump and normal consumable replacement at intervals is all that is required to maintain a high quality of product water."
