For those customers on larger vessels, or people that simply require more water, the Rainman Torrent watermaker is a good option. Making up to 230 litres per hour (60 gallons), the Torrent is the largest Rainman system available.
Torrent retains the design simplicity found in our other watermakers. To ensure maximum reliability, the system is manually controlled, with electronics only used for autoflush function and salinity indication.
Framed or Modular
Torrent is designed to either be plumbed into your boat or used on land. For either of those applications, the system can be configured either as single framed unit or separated into smaller components.
The system can be configured with the three membrane rack mounted on the rear or top of the unit to provide maximum flexibility on dimensions. The membrane rack can also be shifted to one side or the other if required. The control panel can be removed for remote mounting. Prefilter and autoflush filter can also be located remotely for even more flexibility.
Torrent allows for simple one box install or a geometrically flexible separation of key components for tighter spaces.
Power
Rainman Torrent has a motor that can be wired for either 230VAC or 115VAC. Running on 2450 watts steady state at 50Hz or 2800 watts at 60Hz, we recommend a good quality 8kW generator to start and run the system.
To maintain simplicity, Torrent’s design is similar to our traditional electric systems where it incorporates a single motor with both a low pressure lift pump and high pressure pump attached on either end of the shaft.
