These strainers are so easy to clean that you're likely to clean them more often so grass and other solids don't end up in your pump.
Perko's 0493-Series Raw Water Strainers are designed for easy installation and cleaning. Features include mounting lugs cast into both sides to assure universal mounting, four outside tie rods and a 316 stainless steel strainer basket to minimize electrolysis. Cylindrical strainer baskets feature a screen hole diameter of 0.079" inches and 47% open area.
Hinged lugs for the cast bronze cover permit easy removal and cleaning of the strainer basket. A drain plug in the bottom casting is provided for easily removing sediment and draining for winterizing.
