Basket & Housing Will Not Corrode
Fiberglass and stainless steel components assure that all wetted parts will not rust. Overall dimensions conform to existing metal strainer configurations for simple field replacement of existing corroded metal units.
Also Available As A Reducing Strainer
The outlet size can be sized smaller than the inlet to allow line size reduction to pump suction size. Also, a larger strainer bodies can be fitted with smaller inlet and outlet sizes if a larger basket is desired for extra capacity and longer times between cleaning.
Lid - Swimming Pool
Clear acrylic lid allows inspection of basket without opening strainer. On 14" and larger strainers the lid is FRP with an 8" diameter acrylic view port.
Lid - Corrosion
If the acrylic lid is not suitable Mer-Made supplies fiberglass lids made of the same resin as the strainer body.
Lower Losses - Increased Time Between Cleaning
The FO Series strainers are built with a large outlet area in the basket chamber. This results in very low pressure losses initially and much greater debris loading before the pressure drop across the strainer rises to the point where cleaning is required.
