Groco ARG-1000-P 1 Inch Raw Water Strainer with Non-Metallic Basket
The Groco ARG-1000-P is a 1 inch raw water strainer designed to protect engine cooling systems, air conditioning pumps, and other raw water intake circuits from debris, sand, weeds, and marine growth before it reaches sensitive pump impellers and heat exchangers. The strainer uses a non-metallic plastic basket that resists corrosion from saltwater and brackish water while providing a clear window for quick visual inspection of debris buildup. Its base mount design allows for secure, stationary installation in the engine compartment or bilge, keeping the strainer fixed in place while intake hose connections are made at the inlet and outlet ports. An adjustable feature on the housing allows the strainer body to be rotated for the most convenient hose routing angle without disconnecting the plumbing. Regular use of a raw water strainer like the ARG-1000-P helps prevent clogged impellers, overheating, and reduced water flow to onboard systems, making it a standard installation on boats that draw raw water for engine cooling or accessory pumps. The basket lifts out for easy cleaning and periodic inspection, and the see-through cover lets boaters check for debris without fully disassembling the unit. This strainer is built for 1 inch plumbing lines and is suitable for a wide range of raw water intake applications.
