    Water Maker Details:

    The Cruise RO Water SeaMaker water maker is the culmination of years of design and real-world field testing by by the company’s founder, an active cruiser. The SeaMaker series of water makers are Simple, Effective and Affordable and when combined with our industry leading three (3) Year Warranty they are SEA tested.

    Being Cruisers ourselves, we understand the challenges of powering a large capacity water maker aboard a cruising vessel, which is why we designed our SeaMaker 20 and 30 water makers to operate on the power produced by a cruising staple, the Honda EU2000i generator or diesel genset.  Having the ability to produce 20 or 30 gallons of fresh water per hour changes everything.  Daily showers for the crew, fresh water deck and gear wash-downs while at anchor, and even a fresh water anchor chain wash-down and fresh water flushing heads are now a reality to be enjoyed not only by the Mega-yacht crowd, but by the average cruiser. 

    The Honda EU2000i Generator will power the SeaMaker 20 or 30 water maker for 5 hours on a single tank of gas.  Producing 100 gallons of water from the SeaMaker 20 water maker or 150 gallons from the SeaMaker 30 water maker from a single gallon of gas.

    When it comes to water makers, size does matter.  We designed and priced the SeaMaker water makers to be the largest output water makers on the market for the money.  In our years of cruising we have never heard someone say, “My water maker is too large, I sure wish I would have gotten a smaller unit”.  The standard complaint about water makers out in the cruising world (other than their cost) is their low output.

    When selecting a water maker for your cruise, don’t be fooled by the myth about water maker sizing that, in our opinion, simply tries to rationalize the buying decision of a low production rate water maker.  More often than not, it’s the cost of a higher output unit that forced the buying decision of a lower output unit.  Sure water makers (specifically the RO membranes) like to be run rather than sitting unused, but if the system is designed properly for easy fresh water flushing and pickling when not in use, your RO membrane along with the entire system will not suffer loss of life due to periods of prolonged inactivity or infrequent use.

    Our design and company philosophy is simple: build a water maker that is easy to install, operate, service and repair, but most importantly do it without a “Marine” or “Cruising Gear” price premium.  Designing a low-cost water maker with no proprietary parts, that lock you into an overpriced relationship for consumables or replacement parts, doesn’t just result in a cheaper water maker, but in a better water maker.

    Don’t let our cost fool you.  We use Industrial grade parts and components to fully assemble the SeaMaker water maker allowing the end user to have a “plug and play” installation experience.

    Our SeaMaker water makers are not water maker kits or a collection of parts requiring user assembly.  We ship our SeaMaker water makers fully assembled in modules that simply need to be mounted in your boat and plumbed together with the supplied cut-to-fit and color coded water lines.  Keeping our overhead low and understanding what works out in the real world of cruising allows us to supply the cruising community with a top quality large capacity water maker at a price that won’t sink your cruising kitty, while offering a industry leading three (3) year warranty.

    A good place to start for a technical overview of a SeaMaker water maker is by reviewing the flow schematic below for a SeaMaker 20.  The SeaMaker 20 water maker only has one RO membrane and pressure vessel, while the SeaMaker 30 and 40 water makers both have two RO membranes and pressure vessels.

    The standard Remote Panel (which is pictured below on this page) houses the following components: 0-1500 PSI pressure gauge, 0-1 gallon per minute flow meter, pressure regulating control valve, 3-way valve for sending water to your ships take or a sample location, and On/Off Illuminated switches for the Boost and High Pressure Pumps.

    General Flow Schematic of the SeaMaker 20 Water maker

    If you have spent some time researching water makers on the web, you may notice that our flow schematic looks similar to many of the other water makers on the market.  The similarities stand to reason because reverse osmosis desalination technology is not black magic, but rather mainstream technology with a good track record of performance.  This is important to you because the parts and components that make up a commercial RO water maker are now commodity priced rather than “black magic priced”.  Recognizing the commodity based nature of the RO industry; we have priced our SeaMaker water makers at a fair starting price and then only raise our price for a larger output water maker to match any increase in our raw component prices. 

    As an example, for cruisers looking for an engine driven water maker, we can offer an electrically engaged clutch coupled to the high pressure pump for no additional charge and turn the SeaMaker 30 into a SeaMaker 45.  For vessels with larger generators aboard, we can also increase the pump and motor size and turn a SeaMaker 30 water maker into a SeaMaker 40 for only an additional $300!   

    In another break with the water maker pack, we utilize NO proprietary parts and make no attempt to hide the manufacturer of our industry standard components.  We don’t remove the manufacturer’s nameplate and replace it with our own.  If you call, email, or Skype us asking information on the type of RO Membranes, motors, high pressure pumps, or any parts we use in our SeaMaker water makers, we don't play games, we simply answer your question.  Try that with some of the other water maker manufacturers and you would think they are trying to hide the parts for a Flux Capacitor or Cold Fusion! 

    If you would like a copy of our Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual for review just drop us an email and we will send you a copy electronically.

    The SeaMaker water makers detailed below are 120 VAC 60Hz (or 220VAC 60Hz) based systems with only the boost pump operating on 12 VDC.  We do have a 50Hz motor option as well.  The decision to use a 12 VDC boost pump rather than keep the whole system running off AC was threefold.  First, it allows you to perform a fresh water flush of the water maker without having to start a 120 VAC power source.  Second, it helps meet our design goal of staying within the power range of the Honda EU2000i Generator.  Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, it helps keep the cost and complexity of our system down, as we are using an industry standard ITT Jabsco ”water puppy” impeller pump available in about every marine store.
