GROCO BS-2 Stainless Steel Basket - 1.9" x 7.2"

The GROCO BS-2 Stainless Steel Basket is a replacement filter element designed for GROCO raw water strainers used in marine and industrial fluid handling systems. This 1.9" x 7.2" basket serves as the primary filtration component in systems that require reliable sediment and debris removal from seawater, freshwater, or fuel applications. Whether you're maintaining existing strainer systems or upgrading filter performance, this OEM replacement basket ensures your equipment operates at peak efficiency without costly downtime.

Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, the BS-2 basket delivers superior corrosion resistance in salt-water and chemically aggressive environments where standard carbon steel would degrade rapidly. The basket features an improved handle design that facilitates quick removal and installation, reducing maintenance time and user fatigue during routine cleaning cycles. The 1.9-inch inner diameter and 7.2-inch depth provide optimal filtration surface area while maintaining manageable pressure drop across the strainer body, preserving system flow rates and pump longevity.

This basket is ideal for marine vessel operators, industrial water treatment technicians, and equipment managers who depend on GROCO strainer systems for mission-critical applications. Compatible with GROCO's standard raw water strainer housings, the BS-2 basket integrates seamlessly as a drop-in replacement without modification to existing piping or mounting hardware. Proper basket cleaning intervals—typically every 50 to 200 operating hours depending on water quality—ensure consistent filtration performance and extend the operational life of downstream equipment including pumps, heat exchangers, and engines.
