Twin Disc Pacific, a Brisbane-based specialist in marine transmission technology and systems integration with more than 60 years of industry experience, has been named the official distributor for Spot Zero® watermaker and purification systems across the Pacific region. Confirmed on Friday, 1 May 2026, the partnership represents a substantial broadening of Twin Disc Pacific's marine product range and reflects the company's continuing commitment to delivering high-performance solutions throughout the regional industry.
Spot Zero® technology centres on a patented double-pass reverse osmosis process that produces ultra-pure water essentially free of dissolved solids, PFAs, chlorine, metals, and microplastics. For vessel owners, that purity tackles some persistent and costly problems: water spotting, scale, mineral residue, and the corrosion and maintenance burdens that accompany lower-quality water. The systems already see widespread use across the superyacht, recreational boating, and commercial marine sectors, where water quality influences everything from vessel presentation to equipment longevity and day-to-day operational efficiency.
Glenn Frettingham, Managing Director of Twin Disc Pacific, said the appointment adds something genuinely valuable to what the company offers. "We are proud to be appointed as the official Spot Zero® distributor for the Pacific region," he said. "The addition of Spot Zero® significantly strengthens our marine product portfolio and enhances our ability to deliver complete, high-performance solutions to our customers across the region."
The third generation of Spot Zero® watermaker systems brings considerable engineering improvements over earlier models. A redesigned architecture has removed 95 percent of the plumbing found in previous generations, producing a unit that is 33 percent smaller and 65 percent quieter. Built-in redundancy, wireless remote support, and simplified operation allow owners to extend time off-grid without concern over freshwater resupply. The company describes the result as a system that converts seawater into reliable freshwater with unmatched efficiency and performance.
As the Pacific distribution network takes shape, Marine Solutions Australia has been named the first officially authorised Spot Zero® dealership within the Twin Disc Pacific structure. Focused on the South-East Queensland marine market, the dealership will handle local aftermarket sales, technical support, and servicing, giving vessel owners and operators in the area direct access to Spot Zero products and specialist expertise.
Kevin Couvillon, Director of Sales & Marketing at Spot Zero®, welcomed both appointments. "Partnering with Twin Disc Pacific provides Spot Zero with a strong and established platform in the Pacific region," he said. "Their technical expertise and reputation within the marine industry make them an ideal partner. We are also pleased to see Marine Solutions Australia appointed as the first dealership, bringing Spot Zero aftermarket sales and support directly to vessel owners and operators in Australia."
Those wanting to see the technology firsthand will have the opportunity at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show 2026, running from 21 to 24 May 2026. Spot Zero® purification systems will be on display at the Twin Disc Pacific stand on G-Pier, where product specialists will be available to discuss the systems and walk visitors through how the technology approaches onboard water quality.
Twin Disc Pacific's established distribution and service network will underpin ongoing support for Spot Zero® systems, covering technical expertise, product training, and aftersales service. Further authorised dealerships are expected to be confirmed as the network continues to grow throughout the Pacific region.
Twin Disc Pacific supplies power transmission technology and high-performance products to the Australian and New Zealand boating and land-based markets. Spot Zero® designs and manufactures advanced watermaker and purification systems across a range of applications, with its technology focused on delivering spot-free, mineral-free water to reduce maintenance demands, protect vessel surfaces, and extend the working life of equipment onboard.
