    Re: Fresh water pump options

    That 32 volt flowjet pump is what we use every day including our washer and ice maker and showers. Flow is fine with a big accumulator tank. John

    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.

    Was very affordable and has worked great for about 1.5yrs.

    There was a 1.5hp pump installed in the boat when we got it. It didn't last long but I could not for the life of me figure out why it would need a 1.5hp pump....? What's the though process behind this? I mean the sizing of a shallow well pump generally has to do with the depth of the well. In the boat the 'well' is only about what 2' deep?

    The 1/2hp pump seems to have plenty of flow, have never felt that we needed more flow/pressure.

    I do have a 32v dc wire in the compartment, and would LOVE to have a dc failover pump but the cost of 32v water pumps is just a little much.
    Did you just use a reducing bushing from the 3/4 supply line to the 1 1/4 fnpt inlet on the pump? (and a corresponding 1" to 3/4" bushing on the outlet side? pump vendor is saying recommended reduction is only 1/4".
