GROCO 1-1/4" Fresh Water Strainer w/Plastic Basket

The GROCO 1-1/4" Fresh Water Strainer with Plastic Basket is an essential protection device for any freshwater cooling system aboard recreational vessels, sailboats, or cabin cruisers. This strainer is designed to prevent debris such as sand, silt, algae, and sediment from clogging raw water intakes, which can lead to damage of critical engine components. Serious boaters understand the importance of maintaining clean water intake systems to ensure optimal engine performance.

The GROCO strainer features a 1-1/4" port connection and includes a serviceable plastic basket that captures particulate matter while allowing for adequate flow. Its design facilitates quick access for cleaning, whether in-water or dockside, without the need to disassemble the entire cooling system. Constructed to withstand typical freshwater cooling pressures, the strainer's internal geometry helps resist clogging, making maintenance intervals longer.

This strainer is ideal for cruising sailors, liveaboards, and trawler operators who depend on cabin heat exchangers and air conditioning systems. Its corrosion-resistant plastic basket makes field maintenance practical, ensuring that boat owners can easily keep their systems running smoothly. With its reliable performance, the GROCO strainer is a trusted choice for maintaining the integrity of freshwater cooling systems.
