The Whale Water Smartflo Pump Filter Strainer with 15mm Pushfit connection is designed to protect compatible fresh water pumps from dirt and debris within the water supply.
Installed on the inlet side of the pump, the strainer catches small particles before they can enter the pump mechanism. This helps maintain reliable water flow and reduces the risk of debris affecting or damaging the pump's internal components.
The 15mm pushfit connection provides a simple connection to compatible semi-rigid water pipe systems commonly used in caravans, campervans and motorhomes.
A transparent housing allows the condition of the filter to be checked easily, making it simple to see when cleaning is required. The strainer can be removed for routine cleaning and maintenance.
A fresh water pump can be affected by small particles entering from the water tank or supply pipework. Fitting a strainer before the pump provides an effective barrier against this debris.
Regularly checking and cleaning the strainer can help maintain good water flow and protect the pump from unnecessary wear.
The strainer filters dirt and small particles from the water before it enters the pump. This helps protect the pump's internal components and maintain reliable operation.

A suitable inlet strainer is recommended for many fresh water pump installations. It helps stop debris from reaching the pump and can reduce the risk of blockages, reduced performance and premature pump wear.
