I.e. 5-10 >gallons a day consumption.. I have the Village Marine 12v Little Wonder aboard. It is rated at 160 gpd. I don't know if it really will produce that much water since I would never use that much water per day anyway. It does work fine to produce all the water we can use. It is simple and trouble free. It did provide enough water for 4 people over 10 days with fresh water showers for each crew member every day. We ran it 3 or 4 hours each day while underway. I believe the USCG uses Village Marine watermakers. I'm happy with mine.
