Europump Pump Strainer Filter – Stainless Mesh, Quick Snap-On Mount
This Europump series pump strainer is designed to protect your water pump system from debris that could cause damage or reduce performance. The main filter element is a fine stainless steel mesh screen that catches particles and sediment, preventing them from reaching the pump internals. The robust stainless steel mesh is corrosion-resistant and can be cleaned and reused multiple times without losing effectiveness.
Installation of the strainer is extremely simple – it snaps directly onto the pump’s inlet barb. This snap-in design eliminates the need for an extra hose or clamps between the pump and filter, reducing potential leak points. The strainer housing is engineered to be compatible with the quick-connect systems on Osculati Europump pumps, and it also fits similar setups from other major brands (e.g., Flojet, Jabsco), making it a versatile solution for various pump models.
The design allows you to easily attach quick-connect fittings or adapters to the strainer if needed for your specific plumbing configuration. Cleaning and maintenance are straightforward: periodically unscrew or unsnap the clear filter bowl and rinse off the stainless mesh to remove any accumulated debris. Regular cleaning ensures optimal flow and prevents the pump from being overworked due to blockage.
Usage and recommendations:
- Install this strainer on the intake of any freshwater or circulation pump on your boat to prevent sand, silt, or other particles from entering and jamming the pump
- Especially useful for pumps in drinking water systems, shower sump pumps, or washdown pumps – keeping the water free of debris greatly extends the life of diaphragms and valves
- It’s recommended to check and clean the filter at least once a month or whenever you notice reduced flow. Simply turn off the pump, release the strainer, and clear out the trapped debris
- If the mesh becomes damaged or irreversibly clogged, replace it with an original spare filter (Osculati code 16.533.01 or equivalent) to maintain proper pump protection
- Always ensure the filter is securely snapped back in place after maintenance to avoid any air leaks – a properly seated strainer is crucial for the pump to maintain prime and steady flow
