Step 1. Pre-Filtration
Water passes through a sediment pre-filter. This removes any particles that damage internal components.
The LEDI - Scout is a portable and easy to use water maker designed for small yachts. We have designed the Scout to be easy to use, reliable and simple to maintain. With everything included to start making water immediately, the Scout is a perfect entry into the world of Water-Makers.
Capable of producing over 200 Litres per day. The scout includes continuous duty rated pumps that can keep going all day.
In its 18kg 55cm aluminium frame package the Scout includes all the components of a larger Water maker installation. Including boost pump, high pressure pump, pre-filters and UV steriliser.
At 250W and 12V the Scout is perfectly capable of being powered using you solar + battery setup. Can be customised to 24V if required.
The self contained unit can be installed or stowed. If you don't want to permanently install it, you can simply throw the suction line over the side and start making water.
Water passes through a sediment pre-filter. This removes any particles that damage internal components.
Seawater is pressurised and pushed through a reverse osmosis membrane. This removes salt particles and bacteria.
Clean water passes through an LED ultraviolet steriliser which kills any remaining bacteria or viruses.
Flush the system for a few minutes after each use. Clean the pre-filter by hand as needed. Use the supplied cleaning solution to maintain performance. Membranes will eventually need replacing, but the process takes less than 15 minutes — tools provided, no expertise required.
Not using your Scout for 2–4 weeks or more? Make the preservation solution with the included chemicals and run it through the system. This will preserve your system when it's not being regularly used and extends the membrane life.
The countdown is complete
No modification to your boat required. Simply carry onboard, plug in the hoses (3 x 3m hoses included, connections are push-fit so no tools required) and connect power (2m cable with a standard Anderson plug). Put two hoses in the ocean (intake water and waste water out) and produce clean water!
We've designed the LEDI - Scout to run on low power. It needs 12V or 24V and will use about 250W. Uses a standard Anderson plug.
Depending on usage you'll probably need to service your LEDI - Scout annually. This includes changing the pre-filter and internal membrane. We've included the tools you need to do this and it should take you less than half an hour overall. You should flush your Scout for a few minutes at the end of each use.
LEDI can supply all spare parts available. Just keep an eye on our store. Alternatively, you can order generic pre-filters and membranes, just ensure they meet the specs outlined in the user manual.
