Introduction to the Versa Sea Pak 200
Originally developed for ocean voyaging yachts, the
Versa Sea Pak 200 Portable Water sys-
tems
is both a desalinator and a water purifier developed specifically for the U.S. Military. It is
capable of producing High Quality, Good Tasting drinking water from a variety of water sources
including sea water, river water, lake water, or water from a brackish or contaminated well. It
will effectively separate out salts, organic chemicals, insecticides and pesticides, parasites and
their cysts, bacteria, and viruses from the product water. It does not remove non-ionized
heavy metals.
The system pumps approximately 1.5 gallons (6 liters) of feed water per minute to the Re-
verse Osmosis membrane, 10% of this water passes through the membrane as purified prod-
uct water and the remaining 90% is returned to the feed water source as concentrated brine.
The brine contains whatever was separated from the product water by the membrane and
nothing is retained inside the machine.
Feed water is filtered using a two stage process; a bag filter is provided to protect the feed
pump from sand and debris and then the water passes through a 5 micron pre-filter to protect
the hydraulic intensifier and membrane from silt, algae and abrasive particles.
The unit may equipped with a battery and a battery charger or configured to run directly from
AC or DC power sources. If the battery is fresh and fully charged the system can be operated
directly from the battery for two or more hours without an external power source. For longer
run times, an AC extension cord can be connected from any 110 volt power source to charge
the battery while the system is in operation.
In order to prevent damage to the system, the feed water should never contain Chlorine,
Bleach, or any other strong oxidizer, which will damage the membrane. Oil in the feed water
will also damage the membrane.
