Real reviews from boat owners we've helped with watermaker installations and service
"Accumar installed our Spectra Newport 400C and it's been flawless. Makes 17 gallons an hour on just 12V DC — we can run it off our solar panels. Roland and his team did the plumbing and electrical perfectly. Highly recommend for any cruiser."
Captain Jim W.
52ft Nordhavn Trawler
Spectra Newport 400C"We had Accumar install a Spectra Catalina 340C before our Bahamas trip. The installation was clean, professional, and they took the time to teach us proper operation and maintenance. Fresh water independence is a game-changer for cruising."
Dave & Lisa M.
42ft Catalina Sailboat
Spectra Catalina 340C"Our old watermaker died and Accumar recommended the Village Marine LTM-800. Great capacity for our fishing trips — 33 gallons per hour keeps up with showers, washdowns, and ice making. Fair price and solid installation."
Mike T.
38ft Tiara Sportfish
Village Marine LTM-800"Accumar replaced our aging watermaker with a Sea Recovery Aqua Matic 1800. The fully automatic operation is incredible — touch screen controls, self-flushing, and 75 gallons per hour. Worth every penny for a yacht this size."
Captain Steve R.
65ft Hatteras Motor Yacht
Sea Recovery Aqua Matic 1800"We were on a budget and Accumar suggested the FCI Aquamiser+. Great value for the money — makes plenty of water for two people cruising. The programmable features are a nice bonus at this price point."
Tom & Karen B.
34ft Hunter Sailboat
FCI Aquamiser+ 350"Perfect solution for our smaller boat. Accumar set up the Rainman portable system — we can store it when not in use and deploy it when anchored out. Makes 37 gallons per hour which is more than enough for weekend trips."
