Seawater becomes drinkable
A watermaker is a device that converts seawater into fresh drinking water through reverse osmosis or distillation.
Essential equipment on oceangoing vessels and in coastal areas without reliable freshwater sources: The yacht's watermaker produces forty gallons per hour.
Also called a desalinator.
