What we do and stand for

Founded by Julian Schlichtenmayer, a mechanical engineer and passionate sailor, Ocean-Spring Watermakers was born out of first-hand experience at sea. During an Atlantic round trip, Julian discovered a simple truth: onboard systems must be dependable, easy to maintain, and built for real-world challenges. When your freshwater supply fails in the middle of the ocean, you don’t need complexity – you need confidence.

This became our guiding principle.
Our products are engineered for:

  • Reliability: Proven components and straightforward design ensure operation when it matters most.
  • Maintainability: Smart construction and accessible spare parts to reduce downtime and cost of ownership.
  • Value: Systems that combine technical excellence with long-term economic efficiency.
