Drafting Tip #15 - Check Your Suction Strainers |

Suction strainers truly affect pump performance - there is no debate on that. Each manufacturer's suction strainers produce different flow capabilities. Regardless of the flow capabilities of these strainers, when strainer intake screening is missing, no strainer is going to work very well. At this flow testing drill in New Hampshire several years ago, we found out that it pays to check the strainer before using it. A good reminder to regularly inspect all tools and equipment. |
