Strainers

A strainer keeps debris out of your pressure washer system. Whether it guards the pump on the inlet line or the injector on the chemical line, a strainer catches grit before it can cause wear or clogs.

How to Choose

Decide where the strainer goes, on the water inlet or the chemical line, then match the size and thread type to that line. Choose a material that suits the job, with brass and stainless steel common for water and chemical service. Pick a screen mesh fine enough for the debris you face.

Common Applications

• Protecting the pump on the inlet line
• Filtering chemical pickup lines
• Catching sand, scale, and sediment
• Well water and tank-fed systems

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I install a strainer?
The most important spot is the water inlet, right before the pump. A second strainer on the chemical line protects your injector.

How often should I clean it?
Check the screen regularly and clean it whenever flow drops. Dirty water sources need more frequent cleaning.

What mesh size do I need?
Finer mesh catches smaller particles but clogs faster. Call us with your water source and we will recommend a mesh.
