Spectra Farallon 2800c Watermaker | 120 GPH Marine Desalination System

Spectra Farallon 2800c: Municipal-Scale Efficiency for Your Vessel

The Spectra Farallon 2800c Watermaker is an industrial-grade, high-output marine desalination system designed for vessels requiring municipal-scale fresh water production. Generating up to 2,800 gallons per day (120 gallons per hour), this system utilizes Spectra's unique Pearson Pump technology for unrivaled energy efficiency, reliability, and durability in the marine environment.   

Engineered with a variable frequency drive motor controller, the Farallon 2800c guarantees soft starts, preventing massive inrush currents that could overload and crash your generator during startup. The system uses a slow-moving, high-pressure pump that offers extended service life, low maintenance intervals, and quiet operation. As the highest output system rated for inverter operation, it utilizes an industrial-grade motor and components.   

The Farallon 2800c is completely automated and features the Spectra Connect Controller, allowing you to operate and monitor the watermaker from a remote device. The digital dashboard includes valuable features such as Fill Tank mode, a customizable Auto Run mode, One-Touch Sensor Calibration, and suggested maintenance intervals. Furthermore, the system offers Multifunction Display (MFD) compatibility, letting you control water production directly from supported Garmin, Raymarine, and Navico/Simrad helm stations. With its semi-modular design, the Farallon 2800c provides flexible installation options for a variety of engine rooms and equipment spaces.
