Models, Capacity & Selection

Current models are Sailor Compact 400, 600, 1000 and 1500. Production is 70, 100, 160 and 220 L/h respectively, equivalent to 1,680–5,280 LPD (443–1,395 GPD). Installed power is 1.1 kW on the 400/600 and 2.2 kW on the 1000/1500.

Why This Matters Onboard

The Sailor Compact range provides a useful middle ground between small DC systems and very high-output commercial-style watermakers. The Slim modular version is particularly relevant where a single framed machine cannot be accommodated in the available machinery space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Sailor Compact 1000 fit the same footprint as Sailor Compact 600?

The published compact dimensions increase from 750 × 520 × 360 mm for the 600 to 1170 × 520 × 360 mm for the 1000. Allow for the longer unit or consider the Slim modular configuration.

Should I choose Sailor Compact 1000 or 1500 when space is fixed?

Both list a 1170 × 520 × 360 mm envelope and 2.2 kW installed power. The 1500 increases rated output from 160 to 220 litres per hour, so it is worth comparing when you need more water within that published envelope.

What should I add to a Sailor Compact order for automatic flushing and remineralization?

Automatic membrane flushing is supplied on request. Tecnicomar also lists the TCC-SL 10 mineralizer and TCA-SL 10 activated carbon filter as options; they should not be assumed included with the installation kit.

Can I choose Sailor Compact if the complete unit will not fit in one space?

Yes. Tecnicomar offers the Slim modular version specifically for small installation spaces, with separated components. Use the Slim layout when planning the installation.
