WHAT IS QUENCHSEA
QuenchSea is a portable and hand powered seawater desalination device.
You do not need batteries or electricity to use QuenchSea. A simple, detachable lever is used to manually
pump seawater through the device.
Seawater is forced under pressure through the reverse osmosis membranes inside QuenchSea to filter out
the salts. This creates freshwater which is safe for humans to drink. The membranes are replaceable.

FEATURES SAFE STORAGE


The output of freshwater from QuenchSea is: Where to store
• Per hour of use: 4 L / 1.1 gal (US). Please store in a cool, dry place. Keep the QuenchSea
• Maximum daily output: 100 L/26 gallons (US) device away from direct sunlight
