Groco Wash Down Pumps & Systems
Groco's Vane Pump Technology for Superior Washdown Performance
When it comes to wash down pumps and systems engineered for serious marine applications, Groco's "C Series" washdown pumps provide reliable pressurized water on demand for deck wash, anchor wash, or both if multiple washdown locations are desired. What sets Groco apart in this category is their commitment to vane pump technology rather than the diaphragm designs commonly found in competing products. Vane pumps provide greater performance than diaphragm or flexible impeller pumps, delivering consistent pressure and flow for the demanding washdown tasks encountered on working vessels and recreational boats alike.
Commercial-Duty Construction Built for Marine Environments
The heavy duty C-60 is rated for commercial, continuous duty use, reflecting Groco's understanding that washdown systems need to withstand repeated operation in harsh saltwater conditions. The company's flagship washdown kits feature "Ignition Protected" Permanent magnet ball bearing motor has #316 SS shaft, ensuring longevity and safety in marine environments where corrosion resistance is non-negotiable. These systems typically deliver up to 6.5GPM (C-60) or 7.5GPM (C-80) in the 20-40PSI pressure range, providing ample flow and pressure for everything from gentle deck cleaning to heavy-duty anchor chain washdown.
