Rainman Torrent Watermaker - Up to 230 Litres per Hour - NEW

Having now sold the Rainman Range of Watermakers for 9 years with worldwide customers, along comes a exiting new product from Rainman with the exceptional build quality that is the hallmark of Rainman. Also the simplicity of installation and maintenance make Rainman Systems what they are. High Output up to 230 Litres per hour

For those customers on larger vessels, or people that simply require more water, the Rainman Torrent watermaker is a good option. Making up to 230 litres per hour (60 gallons), the Torrent is the largest Rainman system available.

Torrent retains the design simplicity found in our other watermakers. To ensure maximum reliability, the system is manually controlled, with electronics only used for autoflush function and salinity indication. 

Framed or Modular

Torrent is designed to either be plumbed into your boat or used on land.  For either of those applications, the system can be configured either as single framed unit or separated into smaller components.

The system can be configured with the three membrane rack mounted on the rear or top of the unit to provide maximum flexibility on dimensions. The membrane rack can also be shifted to one side or the other if required. The control panel can be removed for remote mounting. Prefilter and autoflush filter can also be located remotely for even more flexibility.

Torrent allows for simple one box install or a geometrically flexible separation of key components for tighter spaces.

Power 

Rainman Torrent has a motor that can be wired for either 230VAC or 115VAC. Running on 2450 watts steady state at 50Hz or 2800 watts at 60Hz, we recommend a good quality 4kW generator to start and run the system.

To maintain simplicity, Torrent’s design is similar to our traditional electric systems where it incorporates a single motor with both a low pressure lift pump and high pressure pump attached on either end of the shaft.

Differences to Other AC Rainman Systems

Although the Torrent incorporates the single motor, two pump design that Rainman is known for, there are a number of points of difference from the more common Rainman AC High Output watermaker.

  • Up to 230 lph (60 gph) instead of 140 lph (37 gph)
  • Higher power consumption
  • 3 RO membranes instead of 2
  • 2 prefilters instead of 1
  • Higher flow rate from HP pump
  • Larger pressure supply unit (motor, lift pump, and HP pump)
  • Framed version available instead of cased portable option.
  • Control Panel and Autoflush are not options, but incorporated into the base system configuration
  • All fittings and hoses are larger to accomodate increased flow rates

Specifications

The Rainman Torrent can be purchased either in a framed system or modular configuration. The pricing, performance, and power consumption are identical between the two options, so your specific requirements control which is best suited for your application. The table summarises the differences between the two options.
