Product of the Week- touch screen interface on G2 Series Watermakers

Don’t capture your water like this... SW

The Racor Village Marine Stowaway G2 Series are compact watermakers for marine applications. Working with the design house Robrady (Florida), and their team of Racor VMT design engineers, they have updated their Stowaway Series and created a new generation of watermakers which include a new touch screen interface control panel.

According to Kelly Sullivan, business unit manager for Racor VMT, 'We took the feedback from our end-user customers and implemented 21st century Parker technology to meet their needs.'

The new Stowaway Series G2 was first introduced this year at the Miami Boat Show, and certainly seems to take the hard work out of managing your watermaker on a sailing boat.

Features include a graphic-rich color touch screen panel which displays:

1. Status
2. Purity of product water output
3. Water temperature
4. Total hours for accurate service log

...as well as many other functions. The touch screen panel allows complete watermaker control at your fingertips. A similar remote control panel is included as standard equipment for user convenience.
