This new system and pump design is well worth looking into. In short order, you'll have enough information to keep you busy for hours. Water makers are a wonderful convenience to have aboard. Like any other system, proper preventive maintenance is required. Simple service of filters, belts and high-pressure pump oil will keep the machine running trouble free for a very long time.
Fresh water is a great barter item too.
If I were cruising again, I wouldn't leave home without one.
