At last! A Spectra Watermaker designed and engineered for the smaller vessel. The Ventura 150 difference is its energy efficiency, light weight, and self regulating system. The Ventura is an affordable, and compact watermaker with all the great features Spectra has become known for. The Ventura 150 is easy to install and use, quiet, very energy efficient, and it delivers over six gallons of fresh product water (24 liters) per hour.
It’s ideal for installation in limited spaces on cruising and racing vessels. The exclusive Spectra High-Pressure Intensifier maintains the proper pressures in the membrane throughout a wide range of temperatures and water conditions without any adjustments or loss of product water output. The machine’s composite construction is corrosion resistant for superior reliability. All this while producing 150 gallons a day!

With a Ventura 150, there is no reason to compromise your creature comforts while cruising. You will have plenty of fresh water left over for boat and gear. Every Ventura comes complete and ready to install. Spectra’s High Pressure Intensifier is factory mounted with a 20 inch membrane in a Spectra high pressure vessel assembly. All high-pressure piping is pre-plumbed at the factory. Module brackets allow for installation in any orientation. Included with the Ventura 150 is a complete installation kit, installation and operation manual, and warranty registration card. All that you provide is the two thru-hull fittings and electrical hook ups.
The Deluxe Ventura 150 Version
The Deluxe Ventura 150 system includes the Ventura 150 System plus, a cooling fan for the feed water pump, instrument panel with feed water pressure gauge and product flow meter, a hand-held salinity monitor, and two additional 3-way valves for cleaning and flushing procedures. Every Spectra Watermaker comes with a One Year Complete Limited Warranty and is available through Spectra’s worldwide distributor network.
MPC-5000 Controller
Simple one button operation
All Ventura 150 functions are displayed in a 5.25″ x 3.75″ control display panel located in a convenient space of your choosing away from the watermaker. Multiple control display panels can be added for even more monitoring convenience. The electrical control box has a built-in manual override so the watermaker also works without the MPC-5000 electronic control.
Just set it and forget it!
MPC-5000 displays the pre-filter condition, feed water pressure, water tank full status (with optional tank switch), product water quality, flow rate and total system hours. One touch to the MPC-5000 touch pad sets the Ventura 150 in motion. Reject water is automatically diverted back to the ocean by the MPC-5000 controller, the desired amount of water fills the storage tanks, the system flushes itself clean and shuts itself off. You can set the controller to keep your Ventura 150 in a fresh water storage state for as long as you like.
Leaving the vessel for a while?
Just press the Auto-Store button and the MPC 5000 controller will do an automatic flush every 5 days. No more worries about messy storage chemicals. And when you return to your vessel, your system is ready to start up and go.
Z-Brane™ keeps your system clean without chemicals. Top off your Spectra system with the new Z-Brane™. This revolutionary technology keeps Ventura 150 clean and free of bio-fouling and scaling. Cleaning with chemicals substantially shortens the usable life of reverse osmosis membranes. The Z-Brane™ eliminates the need for harsh chemicals used to clean and store your watermaker.
