Is the Schenker Zen 150 worth it?

Schenker Zen 150 publishes no rated draw at a stated voltage, so it cannot be ranked on energy. It is judged here on output, configuration and price, and the energy question stays open until the figure exists. It suits several cases: Filling tanks in a short window. At 150 litres an hour, 100 litres takes 0.7 hours — the length of an engine run you were making anyway. Look elsewhere if: Boats you cannot drill. This is an installed system: intake, seacock, brine discharge and a wiring run, quoted separately from the unit. We publish no opinion on build quality or reliability, because we have not tested it.
