Installing Rainman High Output Watermaker on our Sailing Catamaran w/ Control Panel and Auto Flush

We are back in project mode this week as Billy brings you along for the installation of our new Rainman Watermaker. We found out years ago that having a watermaker is the single most important thing in being able to extend our time away from the dock and civilization. We went with the Rainman AC Electric naked high output model for many reasons but one of the main ones being that it is the same model we had aboard our last catamaran "Adrenaline" which worked incredibly well. Let us know if you have any questions about why we chose this one in the comments :) Check out Rainman here: https://bit.ly/Rainmam Tula Merch available always in The Tula Shop: http://tulasendlesssummer.com/shop-tula/ Want a first look at our videos, up to date location information, and Tula Shop discounts?
