Living OFF GRID on a BUDGET Sailboat (S4 Ep2)
Рет қаралды 50,329
2 жыл бұрынLiving OFF GRID on a budget sailboat has been our goal for a while now. Each year we went out and enjoyed adventuring on our humble little floating home but we always came up short when it came to being able to actually live 'off-grid' or certainly at least cruise for extended periods off grid.
In this episode of 'Sailing Cadoha' we add two amazing new upgrades to our sailing boats systems which may have just got us over the edge and able to support ourselves. Our additional solar panels and an amazing new water maker, by Rainman!

Really love the idea of that Rainman - very much because it's portable. The thing about boat upgrades is that you never get back what you invest if you come to sell, so being able to take it with you to a new boat definitely makes sense.

We bought the same one last yeah, we found it uses a lot of power when filling more than one tank - we have 3 tanks. Fill one tank and let the batteries recharge before filling the next. Batteries recharge faster if they are not discharged too much. Don't forget to run a bucket of filtered water through to clear out salt water from the system before storing. The water is great and the system is so easy and reliable.

Well done guys solar sails and the rainman portable water makers.. 👍🏼😎⛵ The water is is totally de mineralised..so its like pure rain water.. if you have a drinking water tap fit a mineralisation output filter to it to improve the health value... hard water has better health properties long term ...this is soft water like rain water so lacks any healthy dissolved minerals that give water its taste and protect your body... as live aboards you may get more of a benefit long term compared to demineralised/ stripped water. You can get test meters to check for the salinity levels. Check your output each time before you dump it into your boats tanks or if theres a failure you might salt your remaining fresh water in the tanks. . It will say in the instructions but Its probably best to use it at least weekly or you may have to pickle it between uses after say 10 days?

Appreciate all that, Clive. Yes I think we need a PPM meter, although I do a taste test before going into the tanks with it.

The ONLY issue here is you crossed the line by not including the clickbait thumbnail in any scene in your video. The smart move is to always include the thumbnail in the video, otherwise you'll piss people off. You work damn hard at producing great content so why jeopardize pissing people off by using improper clickbait. In other words, a great thumbnail needs to be great clickbait, just make sure that thumbnail is in the video from now on. This is just a suggestion, meant to help you continue to do great work. Keep those video coming.

@CadohaAdventures 2 жыл бұрын
With the portable model that we have you flush it manually if you're not going to use it after a few days with 10L of the water you've made. If it's going to be longer then you need to use a pickling ingredient with the 10L of water.

There is a better standard of power consumption, voltage x ah = watt hour (or kilowatt hour if there's a lot) so you used roughly 1100 wh, now somone with a 48v system can relate to your WH without trying to get all maths about it, so on a 48v system it would be something like 20ah ish... sorry if the explanation isn't great! When you see solar panels quoting kwh per day (av) or an appliance uses 10kwh per year, it all nicely ties in to one easy formula 😊 great video, another vote for the next thumb being fella in a bikini!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

But sailboats are almost always 12V and people count ah and amps as the basis of calculating energy balance. And more precisely, the volts of the system varies from 11.7-13.7 so amps are the best measurement. Stick with quoting amps and amp-hrs.
