As water scarcity becomes a growing concern worldwide, many people wonder: 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, and remote areas.
💡 How Does Home Desalination Work?
The system uses reverse osmosis (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:
-
Quartz Sand Filter – Removes large particles and sediment
-
Activated Carbon Filter – Eliminates odor, chlorine, and organics
-
5μm Cartridge Filter – Traps fine suspended solids
-
High-Pressure Pump – Powers seawater through RO membranes
-
4×4040 Anti-Fouling RO Membranes – Provide up to 99.7% salt rejection
-
UV Disinfection (Optional) – Kills remaining bacteria for safe drinking
