Yes, everybody knows we shouldn't drink seawater. But our intestines can reverse-osmosis salt water. It was Mrs Robertsons' nursing skills and knowledge.

You’d need to produce far more than a litre at a time if your wife is anything like mine. Even in a liferaft survival situation she’d be hard pressed to use less than 30 litres a day on showering and making sure the raft was kept clean— inside and out. I’ve often wondered if the simplest solution would be to kill & eat her in survival conditions, fresh meat and no water wastage.

4 litres an hours according to their video, 1 litre for 15 minutes of what looks to be quite strenuous, physical effort but at least you have potable water.

What they claim and what it will really do are not necessarily the same, hence my request.

And what you can do on a hard floor on a stable environment may not bear much relationship to what you can do in a liferaft.

And how much water one would sweat from the effort of pumping that one litre?
Hopefully less than one litre, but how much less?
