If this unit is shown to be durable, I imagine it's the kind of thing a lifeboat would have as part of its equipment. Low power means low volume of drinkable water (as energy is needed to separate ions from seawater, by the laws of entropy), so that's really unavoidable with this system. Compare to things like concentrated solar for complete removal of solids from wastewater and seawater, here's an interesting example (relies on condensation of steam): https://influencing.com/pr/99083/novel-solar-powered-water-treatment-tech-awarded-100-000-in-australian-innovation-grants https://influencing.com/pr/99083/novel-solar-powered-water-t...
