Description
A Hydromatic strainer eliminates the nuisance of unwanted and untimely system shut-downs due to strainer clogging from seaweed, jellyfish, etc. It incorporates a powerful electric macerator pump which periodically cleans and flushes the strainer without the nedd to shut down connected devices. A remote control panel is included.
One large flanged inlet and one large flanged outlet...
The AHSEF strainer features a bronze enclosure instead of a clear sight glass for installtions where an enclosure is advised or required by regulation. The strong, metal enclosure complies with ABS standards for inspected vessels.
These strainers can supply filtered water to one large consumer - such as a main engine - or, with an installer supplied manifold system, the Hydromatic AHSEF strainer can function as a sea-chest — replacing multiple seacocks, traditional strainers, thru-hull fittings and related plumbing. This can markedly reduce the cost and complexity of new or retrofit installations.
