Off-Grid Portable RO Systems: Water Anywhere

For caravans, cabins, remote blocks, and disaster zones, running out of fresh water is a constant concern. A portable RO system creates safe drinking water wherever you are.

Why Water Is the Hardest Part of Off-Grid Living

Challenges include:

  • Carrying large volumes

  • Unreliable bore or creek water

  • Long travel distances for resupply

  • Contamination during storage

How Portable RO Solves This

Portable RO systems:

  • Remove salts, bacteria, and impurities

  • Provide consistent quality

  • Produce 10–25 L/hr depending on source

  • Work from 12V power setups

For Caravans & 4x4 Touring

Using a portable RO system in a caravan gives you the ability to refill from coastal or brackish sources.
Ideal for:

  • Perth → Broome tours

  • Fraser Island trips

  • Cape York expeditions

The Scout SW20 stores neatly in a caravan compartment and runs from a typical 12V setup.
