The desalter kits have all been replaced by reverse osmosis units. You won't find many on the market unless they were liberated from the military because DRMO has the desalter kits sent to a metal recovery processor to recover the silver from them.

The military desalter kits causes most of the salt to chemically precipitate out of the water. It's better than nothing, but you'll end up with water that is still a little salty.

If Falcon5000 obtained an MROD (manual reverse osmosis desalinator) that was mil issue, then whoever sold it had "liberated" it from the military because none have been sold surplus, yet...

Although he shouldn't worry about anyone knocking on his door about it because there currently is a glut of these in the Navy.
