GROCO BS-12 Stainless Steel Basket - 3.1" x 11.9"

The GROCO BS-12 Stainless Steel Basket is a replacement filter element designed for marine raw water strainer systems. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this 3.1" × 11.9" basket delivers corrosion resistance and durability in saltwater and freshwater applications where sediment and particulate removal is critical to engine protection.

The BS-12 features an improved handle design that simplifies removal and installation during routine maintenance cycles. The 304 stainless steel construction resists rust and degradation in marine environments, eliminating the need for frequent replacement due to corrosion. The basket's compact dimensions allow it to fit standard strainer housings while maintaining effective filtration surface area. Regular basket inspection and cleaning extend both filter life and system efficiency.

This replacement basket is engineered for boat owners, marine mechanics, and water system technicians who operate intake strainers in demanding salt-air and brackish-water environments. Preventive maintenance with quality filter baskets protects expensive cooling system components and reduces downtime. The BS-12 is the OEM replacement basket for GROCO ARG-3015 strainers, ensuring proper fit and performance specifications for that system.

Stainless steel filter baskets are industry standard for raw water intake systems because they provide long service life without galvanic corrosion or material breakdown. Having a spare basket on hand eliminates extended downtime when scheduled maintenance or unexpected clogging occurs during operation.
