There are 2 unique product classes that use our innovative Energy Recovery System:
1. Manual Survivor desalinators for emergency use
2. PowerSurvivors for daily water needs aboard

Katadyn Survivor units have been saving lives and offering peace of mind for years. When you need it the most, your Katadyn Survivor will be there.
Katadyn offers two models of Survivor desalinators to provide emergency water when the unthinkable happens:
The Survivor-06 is designed for one to two person use in liferafts or a ditch bag.
The Survivor-35 is capable of providing emergency water for up to 6 people in a multi-person liferaft.

Both Katadyn Survivor models are trusted gear used by the US Navy, US Coast Guard, US Air Force, and many sailors around the globe. They are essential equipment for any offshore cruising vessel.

PowerSurvivors
  

Fresh water is one thing that is absolutely essential on a daily basis. Being able to produce it yourself is one step toward being truly independent. Another is having the confidence and understanding of how to get the most out of your equipment. We design our products to be reliable and easy to use and maintain. 

Katadyn offers 3 models of DC powered watermakers:
PowerSurvivor 40E
PowerSurvivor 80E
PowerSurvivor 160E

What size is right for you?
The first step in choosing a watermaker is understanding your water needs. Sounds simple, but what many forget is the change in mentality from living in a house to spending time on a boat. Just like you take fewer clothes, fewer shoes, and shorten your menu, water needs decrease dramatically as well. In fact, the average daily usage on a cruising sailboat is between 1.5 and 3 gallons of water per person per day.

Which model best fits your daily water needs?

We recommend choosing a model that can produce your calculated daily water needs in 2 to 4 hours of operation per day (minimum).
