Seaflo 43-Series
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Seaflo 43 Series is a compact, self-priming 12V DC diaphragm pump designed for marine, RV, and off-grid water systems, delivering up to 3.0 GPM at 55 PSI. It features internal bypass technology and Variable Flow Technology to minimize cycling and noise while eliminating the need for an external accumulator tank. It is ideal for medium-duty, battery-powered water systems in RVs and boats requiring consistent pressure for multiple outlets.
The Seaflo 06 Series is a compact, automatic submersible bilge pump designed for small to medium boats. Its key strength lies in the integrated float switch and marine-grade safety certifications. However, its low flow rate and limited head lift make it unsuitable for high-volume or high-elevation pumping scenarios.
