Why Use a Pump Inlet Strainer?
Small debris in the fresh water tank or hose can damage pump valves, clog jets, restrict water flow, or cause pressure loss. Installing a clean inline strainer before the pump is one of the simplest ways to help extend pump life and reduce service problems.
Service Tip
Inspect and clean the filter screen regularly. A clogged screen can restrict water flow and may make the pump act like it has lost prime or pressure. Always reinstall the bowl hand tight and check for leaks before placing the machine back into service.
FAQ
Q: Does this filter go before or after the pump?
A: This style of strainer is normally installed before the pump to help keep debris from entering the pump head.
Q: Is the bowl clear?
A: Yes. The clear bowl allows the operator to see when debris has collected inside.
Q: Will this fit every carpet cleaning machine?
A: No. Confirm your hose size, barb size, available mounting space, and part number before ordering.
Q: Can a dirty strainer cause low pressure?
A: Yes. A clogged inlet strainer can reduce water flow to the pump and cause low pressure, pump starvation, or priming issues.
