What does an inline strainer do?

An inline strainer is installed on the suction side of your pool pump to trap leaves, debris, and fine particles before they enter the pump housing. This protects the pump impeller and extends pump life.

How do I install the Waterco Inline Strainer?

The strainer can be plumbed directly inline on 50mm pressure pipe, or configured as a 90° bend. For 40mm plumbing, use a standard reducer fitting. No special tools are required.

Is this strainer suitable for solar pool heating systems?

Yes. This strainer is widely used as a solar strainer to protect solar heating panels from debris blockages.
