GROCO BS-23 Stainless Steel Basket f/SS-1000 & BVS-100

The GROCO BS-23 Stainless Steel Basket is a direct replacement strainer basket engineered for the SS-1000 and BVS-100 seawater strainer systems. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, this component addresses known design limitations of earlier basket models, delivering improved durability and operational reliability in demanding marine environments where corrosion resistance is critical.

The stainless steel construction provides inherent corrosion resistance essential for vessels operating in saltwater conditions. Weighing just 0.3 pounds with compact dimensions of 3 x 3 x 10 inches, the BS-23 integrates seamlessly into existing SS-1000 and BVS-100 installations without modification. The redesigned geometry eliminates common failure points from previous iterations, extending service life and reducing maintenance frequency. As a wear item in seawater strainer systems, regular inspection and timely replacement ensures optimal flow rates and system protection against debris ingestion.

This basket is intended for vessel owners and marine technicians maintaining GROCO strainer equipment aboard commercial fishing vessels, offshore workboats, and pleasure craft where raw-water cooling systems demand reliable filtration. Replacement becomes necessary after extended use or if the original basket shows signs of corrosion, scoring, or structural degradation that compromises filtering efficiency.

GROCO strainers are industry-standard components for marine applications requiring robust seawater intake protection. Sourcing OEM-correct replacement baskets ensures compatibility and preserves the performance specifications of your strainer system.
