On my new SeaFrost refrigeration unit, I purchased the optional internal coils for supplemental water cooling but have not purchased or installed the little pump. There's not much advantage to it here on the Chesapeake nor the Bahamas during the winter but if we were in New England with colder water temps, there would probably be a significant advantage to supplemental water cooling.
