It is installed on the suction side of the pump to filter raw water before it reaches the engine's cooling system, helping prevent clogs and damage from sand, weeds, and other intake debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe strainer body is constructed of C84400 bronze for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, and it comes standard with a #304 stainless steel filter basket that catches debris while allowing water to flow freely. A crystal clear cast acrylic cylinder forms the strainer housing, giving a clear view of the basket and water flow so buildup can be spotted at a glance without disassembling the unit. Service is handled through a spin-off wingnut design, allowing the cylinder to be removed and the basket cleaned without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SA-1000 uses 1 inch NPT threaded connections and is sized per the manufacturer's dimensional diagram at 10.5 inches, 5.5 inches, 5 inches, and 2.8 inches across its reference points. It is a straightforward, serviceable strainer for boat owners who need reliable raw water filtration with easy visual inspection and quick cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Groco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SA-1000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw Water Strainer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e C84400 Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Basket Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e #304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCylinder Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crystal Clear Cast Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension A:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension B:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension C:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension D:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 742985063235\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServiceability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spin-off wingnut, no tools required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the thread size on the Groco SA-1000 raw water strainer?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Groco SA-1000 uses 1 inch NPT threaded connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the filter basket made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SA-1000 comes standard with a #304 stainless steel filter basket to catch debris in the raw water intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the strainer body made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Groco SA-1000 body is constructed of C84400 bronze for corrosion resistance in marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I see the filter basket without opening the strainer?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the SA-1000 uses a crystal clear cast acrylic cylinder as its housing, so the basket and water flow are visible without disassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you clean or service the SA-1000 strainer?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Groco SA-1000 uses a spin-off wingnut design, so the acrylic cylinder can be removed by hand to access and clean the basket without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the Groco SA-1000?\u003c\/strong\u003e Per Groco's dimensional diagram for the SA-1000, the reference measurements are 10.5 inches, 5.5 inches, 5 inches, and 2.8 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SA-1000 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Groco SA-1000 raw water strainer weighs 7.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is the SA-1000 installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SA-1000 is installed on the suction side of an engine or pump to filter raw water before it enters the cooling system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the SA-1000 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a raw water strainer used to filter cooling water intake for marine engines, AC units, or generator sets, preventing debris from reaching the pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Groco SA-1000 an OEM or genuine Groco part?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SA-1000 is a genuine Groco raw water strainer, not a generic aftermarket substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Groco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027994321115,"sku":"GRO-SA1000","price":690.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SA1000.1__26859.1722377856.500.750.jpg?v=1785164377","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/groco-sa-1000-1-inch-npt-raw-water-strainer-bronze-with-stainless-steel-filter-basket","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
