Optimize Performance, Prevent Downtime
Raw water systems are vulnerable to environmental contaminants—marine vegetation, sediment, and micro-debris can wreak havoc downstream. Installing a Raritan In-Line Strainer is a simple and cost-effective step that preserves flow rate, prevents damage, and supports proper operation of marine toilets and other systems relying on uninterrupted water intake.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the purpose of an in-line strainer on a boat?
An in-line strainer filters debris like sand, algae, and plant material from incoming raw water before it reaches equipment such as toilets, pumps, or A/C units. This reduces odors, prevents clogs, and extends the life of onboard systems.
Q2: Where should the in-line strainer be installed?
It should be placed directly on the raw water intake line, as close as practical to the point where water enters the system—typically before it reaches the marine toilet, pump, or cooling unit.
Q3: Is the bowl removable for cleaning?
Yes. The clear see-through bowl allows for quick inspection and can be easily removed for cleaning out accumulated debris, ensuring long-term performance.
Q4: How does this strainer help reduce odors?
Organic debris and microorganisms from raw water can accumulate and break down, causing unpleasant odors. The strainer captures these particles before they enter your marine toilet or sanitation system.
Q5: Can this in-line strainer be used in saltwater environments?
Absolutely. It is built using materials designed to withstand corrosive marine conditions, making it ideal for both freshwater and saltwater applications.
