Well, I was thinking that you may not have to pump it. You could just haul the tube up the mast with a halyard.
I have never had a water maker, but all that I read about them makes them sound like a lot of maintenance and a lot of money. I would love a simpler way to produce fresh water. I just thought that maybe this hadn't been developed because it would only apply to sailboats.

Sure a vacuum will work to boil water and then the salt free condensate can be collected.
The question is whether pumping the water 60 feet in the air is more efficient than pumping the water through a filter (reverse osmosis). My money is on pumping the water through a filter is more energy efficient.There are lots of ways of getting fresh water.Talador
