We had a watermaker on our previous boat for 15 years. When we were out of the U.S. we used it every day, mostly because there was NO source for fresh water. Traveling inside the U.S, we never used it and we never encountered water we were concerned about using or that made us ill. We have cruised in a lot of remote waterways and in marinas where the water came from wells. In many of these cases the water seemed better to us than municipal water supplies. We drink, cook and shower with the water from our tanks. Chuck
