I have been living aboard my boat for years and have always struggled to find the perfect water purification system. I tried filtering before I fill the tank, but didn’t like the taste of tank water. The systems they sell at West Marine are huge, complicated to install and the filters don’t last that long. I’m super pick about water and always resort to a high end countertop unit. A couple weeks ago a friend recommended I check out the Acuva ArrowMax 2.0. I did some research and found that checked all of my boxes. It looked small and compact, easy to install, filter takes out contaminants but leaves minerals and lasts for 3 years, kills bacteria and viruses with UV, and comes with all of the parts so I could to it myself. It arrived 2 days after placing the order. The instructions were well written and simple and had a nice diagram that was easy to follow. It came with an AC or DC option and would be simple to change between the two for future trips. The spigot itself is really nice to touch and has a cool light that shows it’s on and working when you’re getting water. It turned out I had to go to a plumbing store and get an additional fitting as I have very old discontinued plumbing on my boat (polybutylene), so had to adapt it to PEX, which I was able to do with the help of their excellent customer service department who answered my question about the adapter. If I had PEX it would have taken about an hour to install. I am so so so happy to have finally found an answer to my clean drinking water issues! It tastes so clean and I love having easy, unlimited access to drinking water. Bye bye to refilling the water picture, hello countertop space! I will definitely be recommending this to my fellow boating friends.
