GROCO ARG-1500 Series 1-1/2" Raw Water Strainer w/Non-Metallic Plastic Basket

The GROCO ARG-1500 Series 1-1/2" Raw Water Strainer with Non-Metallic Plastic Basket is an essential intake protection system designed for serious cruisers and fishing captains. This strainer is crucial for maintaining clean and reliable cooling systems, especially when navigating offshore or in coastal shallows where debris can clog impellers and disrupt coolant flow.

Constructed with a 1-1/2" connection size, the ARG-1500 features a non-metallic plastic basket that is resistant to corrosion and galvanic issues commonly found in traditional bronze or stainless steel housings. Its durable plastic design ensures no rust or zinc degradation, making it ideal for marine environments. The basket maximizes surface area for sediment collection while minimizing flow restriction, ensuring optimal performance of your raw water pump.

This strainer is suitable for any vessel equipped with 1-1/2" raw water intake plumbing, including cruising sailboats and fishing boats. Its easy access for field cleaning is a significant advantage, allowing for quick restoration of flow when you're far from shore. With the GROCO ARG-1500, you can have peace of mind knowing your seawater system is protected from debris.
