Drinking water, anywhere you go.
Turn seawater into safe drinking water on your boat, at camp, or off the grid. Designed and built on the Gold Coast by the engineers who answer the phone.
Came from Strick & Fran's reel?
The unit they run is the Scout — the briefcase watermaker below.
Stop planning your trips around water.
Jerry cans, marina taps, and rationed showers cap how far you can go. A LEDI unit makes water where you are — so range is decided by you, not your tanks.
Real output, real specs
Fresh drinking water from 35,000 ppm seawater. Every unit ships with its tested output — no lab-only numbers.
Runs off your batteries
No generator required. Sized for sailboat house banks, dual-battery 4WD setups, and off-grid solar.
Built and supported here
Veteran-owned, engineer-built. Parts on the shelf and real support from the crew who built it — not an overseas ticket queue.

Watch the Scout make water.
Trusted where it counts.
★★★★★“I run the 12V LEDI Scout with a 300Ah battery and 200W solar panel. It gives us dependable fresh water with very little draw from the battery. The unit is light, durable, great value, and suits our catamaran really well.”
★★★★★“I replaced a bulky multi-unit watermaker setup with the LEDI Scout. It is compact, lightweight, low-draw, plug-and-play, and makes fresh water from a small 12V battery and solar panel setup.”
★★★★★“The portability of the Scout means I can use it on my boat and also take it in the camper. Very glad to have bought one of the first units available.”
Seawater in. Drinking water out.
Draw and pre-filter
Feed water passes through the built-in, cleanable pre-filter. That strips out sediment and organics before they reach the membrane.
Reverse osmosis
A high-pressure pump pushes water through the RO membrane, rejecting salt and contaminants.
Sterilise, test, taste and fill
The water passes through the built-in UV steriliser. Test it with a TDS meter, taste it straight from the unit, and fill your tanks anywhere you are.
Tell us your setup. We'll match you to a unit.
No pressure, no sales script. An engineer looks at your boat, rig, or site and comes back with a straight recommendation and a firm quote — usually within one business day.
