    Fresh water pump options

    I am looking for recommendations on brand fresh watetr pumps in 12v. I have thought about converting my 32v galley maid to 12v but not sure. I was on defenders website and see they sell the groco paragon @ 7 gal min. I have done a google search and really only see the cheaper jabsco or flojet not really what I’m looking for. Any input would be great. Thanks Pete

    This is crazy expensive but a great pump, Headhunter's X-Caliber DC Water Pressure Pump.

    I have never used the headhunter DC pump but their products are top of the line. The AC Mach V while a little tricky to bleed is near silent with great flow and pressure We also have their heads and 220v macerator on thrnboat i run. Bulletproof. Excellent customer service too

    Groco do sell a smaller pump which works very well indeed and is totally rebuildable if need be. The quality is as good as the Paragon, but it is not as large. Contact them in Stevensville, MD, or look on their web site. Everything they sell is made in USA and they have been around for a hundred years or more, and they are local people. I highly recommend them.

    I have a 120v cast-iron well pump. Three-quarter horsepower motor and adjustable pressure for around $100.

    If I were inclined to go the AC route, that is probably what I would do as well. I don't understand the need of putting a $1300 AC pump in one of these. I understand that the DC pump might be expensive, given the voltage and that such pumps are limited to boats, but AC pumps are cheap.

    Marco marine water pumps are a really good alternative to the cheap plastic rubbish made for smaller boats. Come in a number of flow rates. Extremely well designed and made.
