FLOJET 40 Mesh 90º Inlet Strainer – Essential Protection for Your Marine Water System

Ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your boat´s water pressure pump with the FLOJET 40 Mesh 90º Inlet Strainer. Designed specifically for the demanding marine environment, this essential component serves as the first line of defense for your entire onboard freshwater system. It is an indispensable accessory for any new pump installation or a critical upgrade for an existing setup, safeguarding your investment from the unseen threats lurking in your water tank.

The primary function of this robust strainer is to protect your pump from damage caused by debris. Even in a seemingly clean water tank, particles like sand, sediment, scale, and other suspended solids can be drawn into the system. Without a filter, these abrasive particles can enter the pump´s diaphragm and valve assembly, causing premature wear, loss of pressure, and eventual failure. The FLOJET Inlet Strainer effectively captures this debris with its durable 40-mesh stainless steel screen, ensuring only clean water reaches your pump and flows through to your galley, head, and washdown faucets. This proactive protection not only extends the life of your pump but also prevents frustrating clogs and maintains consistent, reliable water pressure when you need it most.

One of the most significant advantages of this model is its intelligent 90-degree, right-angle design. Space is always at a premium on a boat, and this strainer is engineered to simplify installation in tight, confined areas. Whether you are mounting your pump in a cramped engine room, a narrow bilge compartment, or under a sink, the 90º port configuration allows for a cleaner, more direct hose routing. This eliminates the need for extra fittings and reduces the risk of kinking the inlet hose, which can restrict flow and starve the pump. The result is a more professional, efficient, and space-saving installation.

Maintenance is made remarkably simple thanks to the transparent, screw-off bowl. This clear housing allows for quick, at-a-glance inspection of the filter screen without any disassembly. You can instantly see when the strainer has collected debris and needs cleaning, allowing you to perform preventative maintenance before a blockage can impact performance. When it is time to clean, the process is effortless. Simply unscrew the bowl by hand, remove the stainless steel screen, rinse it clean, and reassemble. No special tools are required, minimizing downtime and making routine upkeep a task that takes only minutes.

Engineered for seamless compatibility, this inlet strainer is designed to connect directly to the inlet port of most FLOJET diaphragm pumps, providing a secure, leak-free fit. By choosing a genuine FLOJET accessory, you guarantee perfect integration with your pump, maintaining the system´s integrity and reliability. Investing in the FLOJET 40 Mesh 90º Inlet Strainer is more than just buying a part; it´s investing in the peace of mind that comes from knowing your boat´s vital water system is protected, efficient, and ready for your next voyage
