Desalinización del hogar: Agua potable del mar a 500 l/h

Dispositivo de desalinización de agua de mar doméstico

A medida que la escasez de agua se convierte en una creciente preocupación en todo el mundo, Mucha gente se pregunta: Can I really drink desalinated seawater at home? By the home Desalination unit, The answer is yes — and it’s more feasible than you might think.

At BestA Membrane, we specialize in compact, high-efficiency seawater desalination systems. Our 500 liters per hour (L/H) system provides a reliable and economical solution for home use, coastal residences, resorts, yachts, y áreas remotas.


💡 How Does Home Desalination Work?

The system uses ósmosis inversa (RO) technology. High-pressure pumps force seawater through semipermeable membranes. These membranes block salt, minerals, and impurities, allowing only pure water to pass.

Main Steps in the Process:

  1. Quartz Sand Filter – Removes large particles and sediment

  2. Filtro de carbono activado – Eliminates odor, chlorine, and organics

  3. 5μm Cartridge Filter – Traps fine suspended solids

  4. Bomba de alta presión – Powers seawater through Membranas RO

  5. 4×4040 Anti-Fouling RO Membranes – Provide up to 99.7% salt rejection

  6. UV Disinfection (Opcional) – Kills remaining bacteria for safe drinking
