Jabsco Pumpgard In-Line Strainer 46400-0002, 1/2 Inch Hose Water Pump Intake Filter

The Jabsco Pumpgard In-Line Strainer, part number 46400-0002, protects your boat's water pump intake from dirt, debris, and other particles before they can reach and damage the pump. It installs directly into a 1/2 inch hose line ahead of the pump, giving the impeller and pump housing a first line of defense against sediment, weeds, and grit drawn in with raw water.

The strainer body is built with a transparent housing, so you can visually inspect the mesh screen at any time without disassembling the unit to see whether it needs cleaning. The screen itself is stainless steel, chosen for its corrosion resistance in a wet marine environment, and the housing is finished in black. When the screen does need attention, the in-line design allows for quick in-place cleaning, so you can clear trapped debris and get the water system back in service without cutting into the hose line or removing the strainer from its mounting.

This strainer is a simple, functional addition to any raw water intake system, pairing with washdown pumps, freshwater pumps, and other 1/2 inch hose water systems where protecting the pump from intake debris matters. It is sold as a single unit.
