we have chartered from CYOA and loved the water maker. We have not used the 12v version, but the 220 volt units make 25 gallons/hr and definitely can keep up (as long as people are reasonable with the shower time)
We did not find the operation to be challenging, but it is not automatic.
It really is a nice item, especially if you are going somewhere with fewer water options like SVI.

Given the topic of " watermakers", one would have to wonder about your conflation of boat tap water tanks with sewage tanks. You might want to reconsider your thoughts.

Sewage contaminated water is sucked up by the watermaker and desalinated. Do these gadgets sanitize the water as well? I don't know.
