The Seakeeper 6 is shipped with the glycol cooling circuit filled and ready for use. The Seakeeper 6 requires connection to a raw water pump, referred to as the seawater pump, to cool the closed loop cooling circuit on the unit.  The required seawater flow through the Seakeeper 6 heat exchanger is between 2.5 – 5 GPM (9.5 – 18.9 LPM) when the on-demand cooling system requires cooling. Prior to operation, confirmation of glycol level is recommended.

Seakeeper offers a compatible self-priming DC Seawater Pump (P/N 30331) prewired for the Seakeeper 6 Installation and covered under the standard Seakeeper warranty. The pump conforms to the seawater plumbing best practices noted in TB-90947.
