A major cause of pump failure is seaweed and other debris sucked into the pump inlet. In-Line Strainers effectively remove these items, prolonging the life of your pump and lengthening rebuilding schedules. In sanitation systems, the In-Line Strainer can also help eliminate unpleasant toilet odors by removing particles from the seawater. The In-Line Strainer bowl is made of durable clear plastic which enables the user to detect accumulation in the strainer filter. It can be mounted remotely for easy access. Convenient 1/2" female NPT connections and 20 mesh plastic removable filter for easy cleaning. Can be mounted away from pumps for convenient access. Each unit is assembled by hand, individually tested and backed by Raritan’s one-year Limited Warranty and legendary technical support team
