Self-Cleaning Suction Strainer
The self-cleaning suction strainer is designed to protect pumps from becoming clogged by debris, trash and solid dirt. It is connected to the pump intake and submerged in the water source (river, lake, etc).
Principle of Operation
As the pumped water flows through the strainer, all the debris is trapped on the screen, protecting the pump from clogging or damage, resulting in increased pump efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
The screen is kept clean by the continuously rotating jets (using pump pressure through the return line), that sweep away the debris from the screen.
