Used to have a small Pur Survivor watermaker in the ditch bag. Time for something new but not finding any ???
Company wrote too old to service. Was manufactured 1997. Was packed in original Viking Life Raft last serviced in 2004 until raft was eventually replaced. Current raft has 3 yr service but the water maker requires annual so relocated it to ditch bag but long over due for service.
I just found this. Not a clue if any are worth a darn but it is a start. https://thewaternerd.com/portable-reverse-osmosis-system-camping/
I contacted several similar and they were all basically for fresh water streams & lakes not ocean water. Maybe the Ft. Lauderdale marine water maker store will come up with one. I ran across a manual for Pur 06 and it said must be treated with a chemical annually or after each use.
In my opinion; All water makers big and small need a pickling solution to keep stuff from growing in them. Once wet, always wet, always a wet spot for stuff to form and grow. Factory dry and inspected that still dry was probably the original storage plan for SOLAS equipment.
I sent them a note so we'll see and if Viking ever gets back to me I would think they might have some info.

It is not recommended for desalinating seawater, but it can be used in emergency situations. Filtering large volumes of saline water, such as seawater, can easily clog the RO membrane, reducing its lifespan. Of course, our RO membranes are replaceable, ensuring you have a pleasant shopping experience."
Everybody reads the instructions, keep it dry, maybe with a back up filter all in a zip-lock bag. You have to keep this in mind. During an emergency situation, Draw from a pile of mud if needed. When really needed, your not desalinating seawater, You trying to stay alive. At that price, maybe two of them (raft and ditch bag).
They're pretty spendy and if you calculate it out, the second unit (right after the solar) would need to operate 24 hrs/day to generate it's rated 6gal a day. So obviously it's more like 1-2 gal a day.
