Semper Pürus
Our Mission
Our goal is to provide a truly affordable portable water maker that is easy to use and maintain yet can be used not only for yachting and boating but can also be used in any environment including RV’s, off grid, and hiking. We guarantee an exceptional product with outstanding support.
Our Story
We are Chantal and Rob Gulledge. Together we started our company in 2013. Rob is a former combat veteran with a bachelor’s degree in Engineering. He holds a 100 Ton US Coast Guard Masters Captain's License and is a Certified Marine Surveyor. He has spent decades working in and around the marine industry.
Chantal has spent several decades as a physical therapist assistant. While working in an outpatient rehab center she discovered her true passion was working with geriatric patients.
Our shipmate named Cody Bear has been part of the family for over 14 years.

Our Journey
With a career in the marine industry, Rob saw an opportunity to utilize his knowledge as a Captain and Marine Surveyor to solve the problems with water makers which he saw frequently.
In 2006 we designed and built our own portable water maker, which we used several seasons in the Bahama Ábaco Islands. Being portable we were able to move it from boat to boat to make water for friends and other cruisers. Our original water maker is still in use today.
We have refined the original model to make it affordable, easier to transport, and easier to use. We have designed and built a water maker that not only has an integrated flushing system, but safety components to protect your investment in a simple to use package. The Semper Pürus comes in a protected case you can stow on or below deck or as a permanent mount unit.

Our Approach
Selling our home and moving onto our Hatteras MY, we started the project to introduce into the industry new proven innovative ideas. We realized that building an affordable water maker was achievable. We wanted the Semper Pürus to have an intuitive control system and easy to operate. After research we discovered none of the portable water makers came with a UV light so we have incorporated that into our system. Pressure does not need to be constantly monitored as the system has a safety function to shut down at 900 psi.
After spending several years in 3rd world countries, we understand the importance of having clean fresh drinking water that is easily accessible. The Semper Pürus can do just that.
