With a PUR 80 installed in the cabinet in the area below the
head sink I just fed the product water normally to a 5 gallon water jug that sat on the head floor/shower sump. All water was sampled before pouring it into deck feed of either of the 2 main water tanks. With a PUR 40 its going to take about 3 hours for you to fill a 5 gallon water jug so the same approach might
work for you.
Using the same hose the initial product water was fed to head sink.
Had a number of gallon and quart bottles that were used for
drinking water and filled them directly off the hose from
water maker.
The waste water was run aft and tee'd into one of the
cockpit drains.
System worked well but you get tired of listening to the
pump run and dealing with the
electrical demand can be an issue. We had enough
solar to meet all other
electrical needs including
refrigeration but when depending on the
watermaker for water we needed to run the
engine to make up for the electricity used. Would frequently run the
watermaker the day before we knew we were going to be motoring and/or ran the watermaker while motoring.
In places like Zihuatenjo rather then run the
water maker we just had bottled water delivered to the
boat in 5 gallon jugs typically 40 gallons at a time. The cost was pretty minimal and we could get by with a weekly
delivery. For showers and
washing down the
boat in Zihua we would pick up tap water available at the
fuel dock - had a number of sun showers for this purpose.
In the
Sea of Cortez the watermaker ran quite a bit.
