Common Concerns Answered
Why is the initial cost higher than other pumps?
The GROCO Paragon Senior's higher initial investment reflects its premium build quality, superior 11 GPM flow rate, patented NOFLOTM dry-run protection, and NSF-61 low-lead compliance, engineered for the demanding requirements of larger vessels.
Do I need to buy anything else for this system?
Yes, this system requires a separate pressure storage tank (GROCO PST-2, PST-3, PST-4, or PST-5) to function optimally and provide consistent water pressure, which is a standard requirement for high-performance marine water systems.
Is this pump suitable for my smaller boat?
The Paragon Senior 12V is specifically engineered for yachts over 50 feet, offering a high 11 GPM flow rate and robust build. For smaller vessels, alternative GROCO models may offer a more appropriately sized and cost-effective solution.
