SQN
Sine Qua Non: the essential element
HydroVolt SQN (Sine Qua Non), Latin for “the essential element”, delivers a compact, full-featured, self-contained, versatile and yet mobile water and power maker. Made of the most durable marine-grade components, the SQN produces 2,500 gallons per day of RO drinking water from sea, river, lake, pond, pool, flood or tap water.
No priming needed. Draws source water at constant flow from 91 meters (300 feet).

4 modes of operation
Power Generator Only
The generator is capable of simultaneously powering the unit and offers usable external electricity. It can also be used as a stand-alone power generator.
RO Water Maker / Purification
Sea, brackish or nuclear/biologically/chemically contaminated water is processed using 7 stages, which include a reverse osmosis stage.
Filter Only
For less contaminated water sources, the reverse osmosis stage can be bypassed from the control panel, increasing the output to 19,000 L (5,000 gal) and extending the life of the RO membrane.
Pump Only
The powerful delivery pump can transfer over 50,000 L (14,500 gal) of water a day. This mode can be used to clear out flooded areas, provide showers, and rinse off equipment.
