Nomad 40
For couples and short-handed cruising. ~320 L/day at 8 hrs run-time.
- 2–4 person crew
- 12V DC
- 2-stage pre-filter
Drinking water,
anywhere you go.
The LEDI Nomad is a fully integrated 12V / 24V watermaker built for permanent install. Two-stage pre-filter, RO membrane, on-board TDS monitor and analog gauges — engineered to make safe drinking water from seawater, day after day.

Nomad is as portable as Scout, with a tougher integrated chassis, front-face controls and rugged plumbing for years of serious water production on yachts, motor cruisers and off-grid expedition rigs.
Same chassis, same controls, same footprint. Step up the daily output as your crew and cruising plans grow.
For couples and short-handed cruising. ~320 L/day at 8 hrs run-time.
The sweet spot for cruising families and live-aboards. ~480 L/day at 8 hrs run-time.
Full-crew, expedition vehicles and motor yachts with showers. ~640 L/day at 8 hrs run-time.
Seawater is drawn in through a stainless intake strainer and passed through a 2-stage pre-filter — sediment, fines, then a polish stage to protect the membrane.
The high-pressure pump forces water through a marine-grade RO membrane at ~55 bar. Salt and contaminants stay behind. Fresh water comes through the other side.
The TDS monitor confirms the output reads < 500 ppm. Flow meter shows real litres-per-hour. Clean water flows directly into your fresh tank.
Engineer-respecting specs across the range. Final output can vary with seawater salinity, feed temperature, membrane condition and operating conditions.

Tell us about your boat or rig. We'll come back with a sized recommendation — Nomad 40, 60 or 80 — plus the parts list and setup drawing pack.
No. Nomad can be run as a portable watermaker, then packed away when not in use. It is built with the controls, plumbing and chassis integration to handle long-term service without needing to be locked into one layout.
Scout is the lighter grab-and-go option at ~30 LPH.
Nomad keeps the portable DNA, then steps up output, controls and serviceability. It is available in 40, 60 or 80 LPH with all controls on one panel.
Nomad 40 is 12V DC. Nomad 60 is available in 12V or 24V DC. Nomad 80 is available in 24V or 48V DC. A 1500W 240V AC waterproof power supply is available.
Nomad uses a CATPUMP 2SFSEEL stainless steel high-pressure pump, selected for long service life in harsh marine conditions.
Yes. Nomad is built for seawater duty, so brackish water is an easier job. Output can increase and operating pressure can drop depending on salinity and feed conditions.
2 years parts and labour on the unit, pro-rata on the RO membrane. We're on the Gold Coast — when you call LEDI, you talk to the engineers who built it. Spares ship Australia-wide; international service via our partner network.
