Shurflo Raw Water Strainer 253-321-01, 1 Inch with Bracket and Fittings, 50 Mesh

The Shurflo Raw Water Strainer 253-321-01 is a 1 inch strainer built to protect washdown pumps and raw water pump systems from debris drawn in from lakes, rivers, or marinas. It is installed in the raw water intake line ahead of the pump, where its 50 mesh stainless steel screen catches sand, dirt, and other particles before they can reach and damage pump impellers or clog spray nozzles. Keeping this debris out of the system helps extend pump life and maintain steady water flow and pressure.

The strainer housing and mounting bracket are constructed of stainless steel with a white finish, giving it a clean, modern appearance that resists corrosion in a marine environment. It comes complete with the mounting bracket and fittings needed for installation, and the clear or accessible bowl design allows the mesh screen to be removed for periodic cleaning. This is a straightforward, functional design well suited for boat washdown systems and other raw water intake applications.
