But will it remove salt in solution and not simply particles
in suspension...
Not a chance, but it might be good for cleaning up rainwater
for drinkiing.
Actually, it will. That's what reverse osmosis is all about.

Yes, that IS what reverse osmosis does I think we all know the theory...the effectiveness for boaters is what is in question with this unit. Much higher pressures are required to desalinate as opposed to separation of other solvents from solutes.
So to be more precise in my question...does THIS unit have enough pressure to effectively desalinate seawater?
Some have provided partial answers to the question already.

I repeat, it may be good for cleaning up rainwater, but it will not work in
salt water. 800 lbs, or so is required to desalinate.
