Reliable pre-filter strainer for pump housings — protects your main filter, reduces clogging, and makes cleaning faster. Key benefits Protects your main filter: Acts as an upstream dirt barrier that captures coarse debris and prevents large particles from reaching the main filter cartridges. Reduces downtime and maintenance costs: Traps particles up to 5 mm so main cartridges experience less mechanical stress and need cleaning or replacement less often. Consistent water flow and performance: The conical shape integrates into the pump housing to maintain even flow while diverting coarse dirt away from the filter path. Durable, low-wear construction: Specially developed ABS composition with stabilising reinforcement ribs resists daily wear and minimises deformation for long-lasting service. What makes it stand out Purpose-built geometry: Conical design balances flow and debris capture without creating blockages that reduce pump efficiency. Easy to clean: Wide mouth and smooth inner surfaces allow fast, tool-free removal of trapped debris and shorten maintenance time. Practical filtration level: Effectively filters out particles up to 5 mm — ideal as a first-stage protector for downstream filtration systems. Key attributes Function: Upstream dirt barrier / pre-filter for pump systems. Material: Special ABS composition with reinforcing ribs for added stability and wear resistance. Filtration capacity: Captures particles up to 5 mm. Flow behavior: Conical shape ensures even water flow and reduces deposit formation. Maintenance: Wide opening and smooth interior for fast, efficient cleaning. Typical applications Garden ponds and water features: Prevents leaves, gravel and larger organic debris from reaching the main filter and pump impeller. Fountains and recirculating water displays: Keeps coarse particles out of the pump system to avoid clogging and maintain consistent flow rates. Small irrigation and circulation pumps: Protects downstream filters and pump components in systems where coarse sediment and debris are present. Practical notes Install as the first stage in the filtration chain to maximise protection for main filter cartridges. Regularly inspect and rinse the strainer mouth to keep flow rates optimal and extend the life of downstream filters. This unit provides robust, low-maintenance pre-filtration that preserves pump performance and reduces wear on primary filter cartridges.
